Genki Life Magazine 55 - Spring 2024

Hōjō, Kaori
The daughter of president of
Ōsei Academy and a student
council officer. Some people call
her a “princess” because of her
appearance and position. While
she was being picked up by delinquents,
she was rescued by Yūya.
She becomes his close friend and
also has a faint crush on Yūya.
What in the world is the matter with
these long titles? They’re just as long as a
paragraph! Yeah, that’s what drew me to
that title in the first place. There was also
the odd-looking character design that I
slowly grew to like. It was around early
2022 that I discovered this light novel.
Although it has the usual tropes common
in the isekai genre, I really enjoy
reading these kinds of stories.
The story revolves around first-year
high schooler Yūya Tenjō. Yūya is introduced
as a short, obese, ugly character,
shunned by everyone, including his family.
He was consistently being bullied and
beaten up…but nobody helped him. All
this led him to live in his grandpa’s home,
which was left to him after he passed away.
On his way home one day after getting
fired from his job, he ran into a group of
boys harassing a girl. When he tried to
stop it, he wound up getting beaten up.
Frustrated with himself, he hit and broke
the bathroom mirror. A secret room, full
of strange artifacts, was revealed to him
when the wall behind the mirror moved.
Yūya saw an unusual door on the far
side of the room and was astonished
that the door led to another world.
It was all so unbelievable. Walking
through the door, he was startled
by a transparent window popping
up in front of him. He became
master of the door, allowing him
to travel to and fro between
Night
A Black Fenrir that Yūya befriended
in another world. When
he was injured by a monster, he
was rescued by Yūya. As soon as
he became attached to him, he
was tamed and started living together.
Since he is still young, he
looks like a black puppy, but was
on a higher level than Yūya.
