A Pair of Dreamers Strive to Rise to the Top of the Comedy World in This Story by Akinari Asakura with Art by Takeshi Obata (Death Note)!


Higashikata and Shijima, two aspiring comedians, have set their sights on winning the High School Comedy Battle, a prestigious competition that could launch them into the world of comedy. However, as the day of the battle approaches, they realize that they may not be as prepared as they thought. With only 30 minutes to spare, they must write an entirely new sketch that is worthy of first place. The pressure is on, and they must use all of their creativity and wit to come up with something that will impress the judges and the audience.

Higashikata and Shijima have always been close friends, and their comedy partnership has been a source of strength and inspiration for each other. They have performed together countless times, and their routines have always been well-received by their peers. However, the High School Comedy Battle is a different beast altogether. The competition is fierce, and the judges are looking for something unique and original. Higashikata and Shijima know that they must step up their game if they want to have any chance of winning.

As the clock ticks down, Higashikata and Shijima begin to panic. They have no idea what to write, and they feel like they are running out of time. They try to brainstorm ideas, but nothing seems to work. They are desperate for a breakthrough, but it seems like it is not coming.

Just when they think that all is lost, Higashikata has an idea. He suggests that they write a sketch about their own lives. They have always been open about their struggles and their dreams, and they believe that this could be a way to connect with the audience. Higashikata begins to write, and Shijima joins in.

As they write, Higashikata and Shijima begin to realize that their own lives are not as unique as they thought. They have faced many of the same challenges and obstacles that other comedians have faced, and they have learned from their experiences. They begin to incorporate these experiences into their sketch, and it becomes more and more personal.

The sketch is finally complete, and Higashikata and Shijima are ready to perform it. They take the stage, and the audience is silent. They begin to perform, and the audience is captivated. The sketch is funny, relatable, and original, and it leaves the judges and the audience in awe.

Higashikata and Shijima have won the High School Comedy Battle, and they are overjoyed. They have proven that they are talented comedians, and they have shown that they can rise to the top of the comedy world. They have also learned that their own lives are not as unique as they thought, and that they can use their experiences to connect with the audience.
