Features: High school transfer student Kiyota Togizuma, nicknamed "Wild Boar," is bullied by classmates due to his messy and chubby appearance. As the "Super Producer," Shuji Togizuma hatches a series of plans to transform him into a beloved and hilarious character. "Operation Wild Boar Makeover" is about to begin—can "Wild Boar" successfully transform? What kinds of laughs will the series of plans bring to the school? Although Kiyota Togizuma gradually integrates into the group under the plan, the process of transforming the Wild Boar also gives Shuji a sense of control over others, while accidentally revealing an unknown side of himself. The author narrates the story in the first-person perspective, weaving a tale of light-hearted and hilarious moments with a calm yet insightful perspective on life throughout the book, while also deeply exposing the contradictions and bitterness of growing up.
