How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs? This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon!
Uramichi is a 31-year-old host on a kids' show who leads exercise routines and teaches life lessons colored by one main theme: Adulthood sucks. Alongside mascots played by a couple of bushy-tailed twentysomethings and a singing duo whose music embodies the notion of being kicked while you're down, Uramichi wades through the misery of working life, one sardonic comment at a time.

This was a random pick and didn't even read to figure out what it was about I just jumped right in. Overall I would have to say that this book was pretty funny. See the host, actually the cast, really has no businesses working on this children's show and I couldn't help but laugh at some of the things that happen on and off the show. I enjoyed getting to see these quirky characters and look forward to seeing more from this series.
