Klappentext
The title is a lie. The story is a puzzle.
Kamada Eizo is a web novelist with a breezy front and a desperate core. Having landed a flagship fantasy serial with a Tokyo publisher, he's finally within reach of the life he craves-a life built on a foundation that could crumble at any moment.
Miyamoto Ran detests liars. A brusque, uncompromising editor, Ran is obsessed with a single prize: unearthing the lost work of an author who vanished eight years ago. Securing Eizo's success is merely the means to an end.
They are polar opposites, bound together by a misdelivered package and a mutual talent for barbed one-upmanship, until a high-stakes deadline forces an uneasy truce. Yet, as they draw closer, Ran begins to see through Eizo's mask, sensing that the fragile connection they share is built on carefully wrought artifice. But for two men who have had the story of their lives once stolen, how far will one go to win it back, even if it means silencing the other's voice?
OUR FUNNY LOVE STORY is a darkly ironic Achillean literary mystery set in Tokyo. Perfect for fans of the psychological depth of Haruki Murakami, the emotional complexity of Sally Rooney, and the witty friction of Alexis Hall.
Note: This is Book 1 of a duet. While the banter is sharp and the tension is high, this volume focuses on the mystery and the slow-burn psychological connection. A HEA concludes the duet in Book 2, Or So We Say (Winter 2026).
