Template:Nihongo is a Japanese manga series written by Template:Ill and illustrated by Takahiro Wakamatsu. It has been serialized on Shogakukan's Template:Ill website since October 2019. An anime television series adaptation produced by Atelier Pontdarc aired from July to September 2024.
The title of the series and its protagonist are a reference to Osamu Dazai, author of the novel No Longer Human, who died by lovers' suicide.[1]
Plot
A depressed author only known as Sensei makes a suicide pact with his girlfriend Sacchan. Before they can do anything, they are struck by a truck. Sensei suddenly finds himself in another world, where an elf priestess named Annette says she summoned him to be a hero, but he ignores her and wanders off, having no desire to help others. He tries to get himself killed, but fails due to luck and inadvertently saves a catgirl he names Tama, never paying attention and always tuning her out whenever she tries to reveal her true name. Annette and Tama become his companions as he desires to find Sacchan so they can complete their suicide pact.
