Synopsis
Nestled on the border of Ehime and Kagawa Prefectures lies the little-known village of Ebezu-mura. Its beautiful coastline is one of the rare habitats in Japan for the horseshoe crab.
Saijō, a man laid off from a record company, relocates here as a member of the “Regional Revitalization Cooperation Corps.”
In his second year, the mayor whimsically decides to enter the “Local Character Grand Prix,” appointing Saijō as project leader.
From the village’s namesake fruit—smaller than a yuzu but larger than a sudachi—“Ebesu,” and inspired by the horseshoe crab, Saijō creates the mascot Ebessukun to save the village. But things quickly spiral…
An unexpected reunion with a band that failed to debut due to Saijō’s layoff, and the intertwining of a legendary tale of fugitive warriors, set the stage for Saijō’s very own “Battle of Okehazama”—a turbulent week begins.
This book boldly tackles themes of depopulation and regional revitalization in modern Japan, while mixing historical romance with quirky mascot lore—a fantasy for grown-ups who still enjoy a touch of silliness.
For those engaged in community development, those looking to start something new, or those in need of courage—each page may inspire you to become someone’s very own “Ebessukun.”
