A comedy of errors, until fate reveals its twisted sense of humor. Kamada Eizo, a web novelist fresh from college, lands his dream—a flagship fantasy serial with an ambitious publisher. His breezy charm is a front, concealing desperation to claim a life that could be taken from him. Miyamoto Ran detests liars. Grim and uncompromising, the editor stakes his future on one goal: unearthing the lost work of an author who vanished eight years ago. Securing Eizo’s success is his only path to that prize. Polar opposites—and fueled by a misdelivered package—they clash at every turn, trading barbed banter and tit-for-tat one-upmanship until a high-stakes deadline forces an uneasy truce. Yet, as they draw closer, Ran begins to see through Eizo’s mask, sensing that the fragile connection they share is built entirely on carefully wrought artifice. But for two men who have had the story of their lives once stolen, how far will one go to win it back, even if it means silencing the other's voice? OUR FUNNY LOVE STORY is an Achillean literary mystery with interior scene artwork perfect for fans of ultra slow-burn queer romances with psychological depth, banter that runs hot, and layered storylines promising there is more than meets the eye — and Sally Rooney, Haruki Murakami, and Alexis Hall. Or tl;dr: sad boy lit with heated banter and a hopeful heart. Please note this is Book 1 of a duet that ends in a happily-ever-after. Book 1 is less romance-forward but more mystery-driven, while a slow-burning love story flickers in the background. The sequel, Or So We Say, is expected to be released in December 2026.

You're welcome. less
