No job. No money. No future. After waking up in post-crisis Tokyo with nothing but the clothes on his back and an eviction notice on the horizon, he's running out of options fast. But he has one ace up his sleeve — a mind full of literary classics from another world. Armed with borrowed brilliance, he sets out on a new life, climbing his way to the top of Japan's literary world to become the nation's most celebrated writer.
