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!

Broken Glass Slipperโ€™s first-place reign has finally come to an end! But will Sprechchor be able to defend their hard-won spot all the way to the end? Rising and Shiba Inu World Tour are ready to take the stage, and with the audienceโ€™s laughter growing louder and louder, one of these two comedy duos may just bring down the roof!
