Hyouge Mono (Japanese: ã¸ã†ã'ã‚‚ã®, Hepburn: HyÅge Mono, lit. "Jocular Fellow") is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Yamada. It won an Excellence prize for manga at the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival and the Grand Prize at the 2010 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. It was adapted into an anime series in 2011. The official website was updated to reflect the change. For unstated reasons Yoshihiro Yamada and the editors of Morning quit consulting for the anime series and Yamada had the credit changed from "original story" to "original concept".
