  • Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei ("A Compendium of 4.5 Tatami Mythology") is a 2008 novel by Tomihiko Morimi, narrated by an unnamed third-year agriculture student at Kyoto University. After getting dumped by a crush his first year, he's become convinced the idealised, lovey-dovey campus life he expected to have will never come, and as a result, has wasted the last two years ruining the love lives of others at every opportunity with his partner in crime, Ozu. Despite this, the narrator has taken a liking to Akashi, a girl one year his junior. One late night while eating ramen at a cart near his boarding house, our narrator meets a man claiming to be a god of matrimony. The god tells the protagonist that come the tenth lunar month, the gods will gather in Izumo and determine who will marry whom--and Akashi's hand is either going to him or Ozu. When a fortune teller further tells him he's at a crossroads--one path leading to a life of happiness, the other leading to one of the same frustration and monotony he's currently experiencing--the narrator realizes that he needs to get a move on. The novel was adapted to anime for NoitaminA's spring 2010 season, directed by Masaaki Yuasa of Kaiba fame and produced by Madhouse. FUNimation has licensed it for a near-simultaneous, English-subtitled stateside release on the Funimation website, YouTube, and Hulu under the title The Tatami Galaxy.
