世界の中心、針山さん [Sekai no Chushin, Hariyama-san]

Hariyama-san #1

by Ryohgo Narita

平凡な針山さんに大きな秘密が!?　世界の中心には何があるのか──!?

埼玉県所沢市を舞台に巻き起こる、さまざまな出来事――。
ベッドの下で斧男が命を狙っているという都市伝説の流布、
いきなり天井を破って舞い降りてきた魔法少女、
自らを勇者と名乗る住人たちが忽然と消えた孤島、
そして、さまざまな人々の運命が絡み合う悲劇の結末。

それらすべての事件には、必ず１人の人物が絡んでいた。
その男の名は、針山真吉……。
憎めない顔をしていて、眼鏡以外にほとんど特徴のない普通の人。
なぜ彼は、毎回事件に巻き込まれるのか？ はたして彼は何者なのか!?

About the author

Ryohgo Narita (成田 良悟, Narita Ryōgo) is a Japanese light novelist. He won the Gold Prize in the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize for Baccano!, which was made into a TV anime in 2007.[1] His series Durarara!! was also made into a TV anime, which began airing January 2010


There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).
