Novel: Hariyama-san, center of the world

Post by Abril »

Author: Narita Ryohgo (Durarara!!, Baccano!)
Volumes: 3

In Tokorozawa, Saitama prefecture, various events spin out of control;
Urban legends, axe murderers hiding under the bed, magicial girls crashing through ceilings, an isolated island where everyone is a destined hero, and where people suddenly vanish.
Tragic consequences that intertwine and link various people, and one person was involved in all of these events without fail - Hariyama-san.
This ordinary person, whose only noticeable trait is that he wears glasses. Why does he seem to be involved every time? At the centre of this world of strange events? Who is he?



So, has anyone read this? Do you recommend it?
A friend of mine lent me his copy of the first volume. I skimmed through it (I've been a little busy lately), but it looked pretty interesting.

Yeah but the first volume only. I've forgotten most of the details but like DRRR the series has multiple protagonists and doesn't have overwhelming focus on any one of them. Personally I like the Mahou Shoujo x Yakuza story the most.
