In Tokyo, Starting Out as a Literary Genius

Hoshino Kiten fled the small mountain village where he was born and came alone to Tokyo, seeking the chance to go to school.

His goal was to stand at the top of Tokyo.

But he never imagined that getting by in Tokyo would be far harder than he expected.

With only 85,000 yen to his name, the young man had no choice but to spend his days working and his nights wandering the streets of Tokyo.

Then, the next day, a woman appeared before him and invited him, “Why don't you come live at my place?”

Starting with The Devotion of Suspect X, he'll become a genius novelist and reach the very top of Tokyo!
