Jibun no koto o shujinkouda to shinjite yamanai fumidai ga, shujinkou o fumidai da to kanchigai shite, yuushou shite shimau o-hanashi desu

This work, often referred to by its lengthy descriptive title, emerged from the subculture of Japanese web-serialized manga and light novels where unconventional, meta-narrative premises are common. It was created by Sasuga Yuyushita to explore themes of perception and narrative roles, focusing on the absurdity of a supporting character—a literal stepping stool—who possesses the misguided conviction that they are the protagonist of their own epic journey.

The design of the work leans into self-referential comedy, utilizing the title itself as a summary of the ironic central conflict. In its initial release, the series garnered attention within niche online communities for its surrealist humor and subversion of standard shonen tropes. It remains a notable example of independent web-based storytelling that prioritizes conceptual wit over traditional character development.
