▍About Uramichi Oniisan
The manga debuted in 2017 in Ichijinsha and pixiv’s digital manga magazine Comic POOL. Ichijinsha published the manga’s third compiled book volume on January 29, and it will publish the fourth on October 29. The manga has won in the Web Manga category of Niconico’s third Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards (次にくるマンガ大賞).
The manga’s story centers on a 31-year-old man named Uramichi Omota who has two sides to his personality. He appears as a young man in charge of physical exercises on the educational program “Maman to Together.” Although he has a fresh and upbeat demeanor on the show, he is actually a bit emotionally unstable. The manga reveals the less-than-sunny parts of life for young adults.
