SWORDS AND SORCERY! PSYCHIC BATTLES?! MAGICAL GIRLS?!?!

Tired and unfulfilled by his dead-end job, Sasaki decides to adopt Peeps, an adorable pet Java sparrow. Peeps, however, is really Piercarlo, a powerful sage from another world! After Peeps bestows Sasaki with magic and the ability to cross worlds, the two decide to export household items for profit in pursuit of a leisurely lifestyle.

But when Sasaki’s new magic gets him mixed up in a whole other kind of supernatural struggle back in Japan, will it destroy his chances at realising the relaxing life of his dreams?

Sasaki and Peeps, Vol. 1 by Buncololi Buncololi, Kantoku Kantoku, and Alice Prowse offers a unique blend of adventure and fantasy that promises excitement and humour for readers seeking an escape from the mundane.
