A pair of dreamers strive to rise to the top of the comedy world in this story by Akinari Asakura with art by Takeshi Obata (Death Note)!

Shy Azemichi Shijima has secretly been studying the art of comedy. His outgoing classmate Taiyo Higashikata has big dreams of being funny but no follow-through. When the two team up, they just might take the comedy world by storm!

By winning the preliminary round, Azemichi and Taiyo have officially qualified for the Wara-1 Koshien comedy competition! Rumour has it that everyone who’s ever gotten advice from the eccentric Professor Hiyama has gone on to win Wara-1 Koshien—but the only way to get that advice is to win the Hiyama Cup! Can Azemichi and Taiyo beat both Broken Glass Slipper and Shiba Inu World Tour to win a meeting with the comedy legend?
