Series: Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs? This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon!

How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs? This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon!

Uramichi is a 31-year-old host on a kids' show who leads exercise routines and teaches life lessons colored by one main theme- Adulthood sucks. Alongside mascots played by a couple of bushy-tailed twentysomethings and a singing duo whose music embodies the notion of being kicked while you're down, Uramichi wades through the misery of working life, one sardonic comment at a time...

Reviews for Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan 1

""One of the funniest, most cynical, but oddly sincere and relatable manga comedies in years… its fun cast and witty, cynical writing make the series a dark joy to read. Highly recommended."" -AiPT! ""Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan works because it melds absurdity with a dash of realism… Uramichi just can't stop himself from giving the kids terrible life lessons about what a misery adulthood is… just the right mix of humor and cynicism."" -Anime News Network
