Kadokawa has listed the fourth compiled volume of Mifumi Hamada’s Zenryaku, Yamagurashi o Hajimemashita (Long Story Short, I’m Living in the Mountains) manga as its final installment, set to be released on May 23. The manga serves as an adaptation of Asagi’s light novel series of the same name.
J-Novel Club, which has licensed Asagi’s original light novels, describes the story as follows:
Sano Shohei is fed up. His fiancée left him, and he’s sick of dealing with people. What’s a guy to do in the face of intense burnout and social exhaustion?
Why, buy a mountain, of course! Sano abandons his life in the city and becomes a recluse, far away from the trappings of modern society.
Long Story Short, I’m Living in the Mountains
There’s just one problem: He’s actually kind of lonely… Sano thinks he’s found the solution, but he gets more than he bargained for when he buys three colored chicks from a festival stall to keep him company—not only do they grow rapidly and develop reptilian tails, but they seem to be able to talk!
Between learning the ropes of mountain living, getting acquainted with his rural neighbors, and raising his questionable but adorable chickens, Sano’s got a lot on his plate. Long story short, his solitary new life might turn out to be more exciting than he anticipated!
Hamada began serializing the manga on Kadokawa’s Isekai Comic website in April 2023. Kadokawa released the third compiled volume on December 23.
Asagi originally launched the story on the Kakuyomu website in March 2022. Kadokawa later began publishing the light novels, featuring illustrations by Shino, in December 2022. The publisher released the 10th volume on March 10.
