About the author

Ryo Asai (朝井リョウ ) began creating picture books at the age of six and writing stories while still in grade school; soon he was submitting manuscripts to new-writer contests as he dreamed of publishing a book of his own. He made his literary debut as a student at Waseda University, when his novel Kirishima, bukatsu yamerutte yo (Kirishima Says He's Quitting the Team) took the 2009 Shosetsu Subaru New Writers' Award. He has kept up a constant stream of publications since his debut. When his novel Nanimono (Somebody) was awarded the Naoki Prize for the second half of 2012, he was only 23, making him the youngest male author to have ever won the award. His other works include Chia danshi!! (Guy Cheerleaders!!), Mo ichido umareru (To Be Born Over), and Shojo wa sotsugyo shinai (Girls Don't Graduate).

油断していると、所々に笑の爆弾が仕掛けられているので、電車やバスの中で読むのは危険、とわかってるのに、読んじゃって案の定、やらかした。浅井さんのエッセイを読むたびに、学生時代の友達を思い出すのはなぜか。同じキャラじゃないのにな。

Honestly just a silly book that made me laugh and enjoy myself way more than I thought I would. The author has truly done and been some outrageously stupid things in his youth and I think it’s respectable to lay it all bare here.
