Kantoku Kantoku

Sasaki and Peeps is a fun mixture of isekai (another world) and slice-of-life with a story that goes back and forth between the real and fantasy worlds, featuring an older salaryman protagonist unlike any other seen in a Yen On series!

The alien behind the recent UFO sightings, whom Sasaki has nicknamed Type Twelve, insists that the others act as her family to teach her the value of human culture. Futarishizuka and Sasaki, however, just want her to go home. It may look like they're only playing house, but the fight for humanity's future rages on. At the same time, a suspicious website announces that the proxy war's next game will be held on an isolated island. Don't be fooled—things may sound like a slice-of-life, but this middle-aged man and his pet java sparrow can't take it easy yet!

With the Herzian succession dispute now settled, Sasaki and Peeps head back to modern Japan just in time for a new case at the bureau. Along with Futarishizuka and Hoshizaki, Sasaki is tasked with investigating a series of recent UFO sightings, and for once the issue seems to have nothing to do with the otherworld. Exhausted from their recent ordeals and with no clues, the crew decide to take it slow, only to stumble upon something big... Could there be yet another powerful faction in their midst?

Life in Japan is hectic as always for Sasaki. Their apartment now in ruins, his neighbor moves into the Karuizawa base, Hoshizaki winds up at the center of an irregular psychic plot, and Futarishizuka dresses up as a student! Meanwhile in the otherworld, the succession dispute takes a drastic turn as Prince Lewis launches an offensive against the Ohgen Empire. When Sasaki hears the dire contents of his plan, he and Peeps decide to infiltrate enemy territory to save Hertz. Just when will it be time to relax?

Thanks to Peeps getting a little lost in the sauce, the existence of the base that Futarishizuka established is leaked online! Without a way to point the finger at anyone in particular, the situation quickly erupts into chaos. Meanwhile, Sasaki gets a new assignment. And this time it’s…dealing with a giant monster in the Pacific Ocean?!

Just as he's getting used to his new life of world hopping with Peeps, a run-in with a psychic forces Sasaki to make a sudden career change—to the top-secret Paranormal Phenomena Countermeasure Bureau. Just how many double lives can he handle?!

Even after making his break as an author, marrying the person he loves, and becoming a father, Itsuki Hashima has not changed and continues his regular routine of writing novels. But how about Chihiro, or Miyako, or Haruto and Nayuta and Ashley? Not to mention Kaizu, Kaiko, Setsuna, and Nadeshiko?! How much or how little have they changed? What kind of future awaits them?

As always, Sasaki and his pet bird (and otherworld sage) Peeps continue to leap across worlds, trading goods for a profit. Thanks to a little help from Futarishizuka, they've found a way to exchange otherworld valuables for modern currency, and Sasaki has been studying up on magic, making him unstoppable against psychics and magical girls. All that's left is to make as much money as they can, retire, and start relaxing—but that won't be so easy. In Peeps' world, the dispute over succession begins in earnest, and back home, the psychic battles never stop. Not to mention Sasaki's neighbor, who is caught up in an angels-vs-demons death game. As worlds collide, Sasaki’s in for even more chaos!

When Sasaki brightens up his tired corporate life by buying a pet sparrow, he never imagined the bird would actually be a reincarnated sage from another world! With his new avian roommate teaching him all sorts of magic tricks, could this be Sasaki’s chance to escape his droll office job?

Sasaki's pet bird (and otherworld sage) Peeps has bestowed him withpowerful magicand the ability to cross between worlds, all in order to gamethe system and live thegood life. But due to unforeseen circumstances onboth sides, things are not going asplanned. Sasaki's job as a governmentpsychic is not all it's cracked up to be, and witha magical girl out forblood, a neighbor giving into dark temptations, and a formerenemy changingsides, Sasaki and Peeps are looking at a big traffic jam on their roadtosuccess!

All Sasaki wants to do is use these newfound powers to live in peace andcomfort, but there are more than a few colorful characters who might get in theway of that...

After giving up on becoming a protagonist, Itsukicontinues to listlessly churn out novels like a machine. On the other hand,Nayuta has given up writing entirely in favor of shutting herself up in her roomand playing video games. Though our main characters have stagnated, the worldkeeps turning and time marches relentlessly forward...and whether they’reaware of it or not, big things are in store for Ashley, Nadeshiko, and theHashima family.
