The manga tells the story of Miyakawa’s older brother who has been a recluse for 30 years. The story won the grand prize in the magazine’s Superior Document Comic Grand Prize this year. Miyakawa won 1 million yen (about US$6,784) and a guaranteed serialization.

Kawa and Miyakawa launched a manga titled Ochiai Hiromitsu no Oreryū Tensei (Hiromitsu Ochiai’s Self-Reincarnation), based on the “legend” of the famous former professional baseball manager and player Hiromitsu Ochiai, in Kodansha’s Morning magazine in March 2024.
Miyakawa and Keisuke Gotō ended the Wanope Joker manga in 2023. Miyakawa and Gotō launched the manga in Morning in January 2021 as part of a collaboration between the magazine and DC Comics. Kodansha published the manga’s third and final compiled book volume in April 2023. DC Comics released the manga in English.
Miyakawa and Kei Itō launched the Uchū Senkan Tiramisu (Space Battleship Tiramisu) manga on Shinchosha’s Kurage Bunch website on October 2015, and ended in 2020.
