Because of Tōfu-kozō

Welcome to Crescent Moon Academy. It’s haunted, cursed, understaffed, and smells like expired soy milk. But for Ryu, a quiet teenage boy just trying to survive the school year, it’s also home.

Unfortunately, it’s home to other things too. Like:

• A barefoot tanuki girl who starts a dairy cult in the freezer aisle

• A ninja cheerleader with glittery lockpicks

• A literal ghost who insists on sitting in his lap

• A new transfer student who may or may not be an emissary of Inari

• And one very tiny yokai with a tofu tray and way too much power

After a routine field trip to the local Piggly Wiggly (yes, really) descends into chaos, Ryu finds himself trapped in a supernatural mess involving yokai, talking shopping carts, eldritch dairy products, and his classmates’ increasingly questionable life choices.

It’s part ghost story, part coming-of-age disaster, part surreal comedy—and it all starts because of Tōfu-kozō.

🍡 A supernatural slice-of-life comedy with:

• Anime-inspired chaos

• Yokai mythology meets American retail hell

• Heartfelt character moments between the punchlines

• Girls who are pretty, powerful, and just a little unhinged

If you ever wanted Azumanga Daioh and Jujutsu Kaisen to get stuck in a small-town grocery store together, this is your book.
