He couldn't reach his dream of Koshien.
But he found a new dream: becoming a comedian—

The debut essay collection "Koko de 1-kyu Change-up" by Takafumi Sasaki, the gag writer and tsukkomi of the comedy duo Evers, will be released on Tuesday, July 14, 2026!

His life since childhood was dedicated to baseball. He entered a prestigious school on a sports scholarship, aiming for Koshien, but his dream fell just short. He lost his goal and lived a self-indulgent life immersed in games, until a new dream, "comedy," saved him.

Even when results weren't coming for a long time, he believed "I'm the funniest" and continued his career for 9 years. Finally, he became an 'M-1' finalist—.

This autobiographical essay gently encourages anyone who wants to aim for something again, detailing his youth dedicated to baseball, the setback of not reaching his dream, the period when he lost his goal, and his days as he rose again as a comedian.

This book also includes the manuscripts from a web series where he chronicled his feelings in real-time starting from September 2024, before his first appearance in the 'M-1 Grand Prix' finals.

If you pre-order on this site, QJ Store, by Tuesday, June 16, 2026, 50 people will be randomly selected to receive a signed copy. Additionally, as a QJ Store exclusive bonus, you will receive two mini cards.
