Volume 1 of Hideaki Nabe's ``Next Door Kozoe River'' serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) was released today, April 3rd.
"Next Door Kozoegawa" is an "everyday magic comedy action" starring Touya Osoegawa, a wizard. While many wizards in the wizarding world spend their time training, Kozoegawa is recognized by those around him for his talent, but instead of creating magic that is useful in battle, he lives a lazy life only creating magic that enriches his life, such as ``magic that heals muscle pain'' and ``magic that removes pilling from clothes.'' At the behest of the Great Demon God, Kozoekawa heads to the human world. His mission is to crack down on magicians who do bad things. The story depicts the struggle of Kozoekawa, who uses magic rooted in everyday life to protect the peace of people.
