About the author
Keigo Shinzo debuted as a manga creator in 2008 with his work "Nankin" and has since gone on to create award-winning hits such as
Bokura no Funkasai (Our Eruption Festival). In 2016, his work
Moriyamachuu Kyoushuujo (Moriyamachu Driving School) was made into a movie, and two years later, his series

During the coronavirus pandemic, when Keigo was diagnosed with lymphoma, he decided to write the one-shot "Akusei Rinpashu de Nyuuin shita Toki no Koto" (About the Time I Was Hospitalized for Malignant Lymphoma), in which he chronicles his road to recovery as well as how he got the idea for his award-nominated series
Hirayasumi.
Summary
Aliens walk among us—but they’re just two bros, hanging out in Tokyo. Oh, and they’re on a mission to colonize Earth.
Fuyunosuke Tanaka is a perfectly ordinary college student, except for one thing—he’s secretly an alien. He and his brother Natsutaro have traveled across the galaxy to study the people of Earth and evaluate the planet’s resources, but adapting to life on this new world might be a bit harder than they thought.
After a series of unfortunate mishaps, Fuyunosuke and Natsutaro are on the brink of being discovered. Now the two need to learn how to act as human as possible, and fast! Thankfully, Fuyunosuke has a plan. He’s going to teach his bro how to hold down a normal job and go on a normal date. But the clock is ticking. If he fails, their entire plan for Earth colonization could go up in smoke!
