Meet Moss, an apprentice dino-dung shoveler working in Primordia’s royal stables. He couldn’t be any further down the pecking order without being underground – and he’ll certainly never get a chance to be a knight like his hero, Sir Brutus Fallsword.

But fate takes a twist when Moss discovers that he has a gift for speaking to dinosaurs. He is suddenly and unexpectedly enlisted into training a truly fearsome beast – the huge and mighty Tyrannosaurus rex belonging to the king’s own daughter, Princess Opal!

When a treacherous knight launches a coup against the king, the castle descends into chaos. Can Moss and Opal – along with a ragged band of outlaw warriors – hope to save the Kingdom? Or will they be added to the dino-dung-pile?

I’m starting a service… available for any situation in which all you want is a person to be there. Maybe there’s a restaurant you want to go to, but you feel awkward going on your own.

Maybe a game you want to play, but you’re one person short.

Or perhaps you’d like someone to keep a space in the park for your cherry blossom viewing party…

Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told by his boss, “It makes no difference whether you’re here or not,” and that his presence contributed nothing to the company. Morimoto began to wonder whether a person who “does nothing” could still have actual value and a place in the world. Perhaps he could turn “doing nothing” into a service? With one tweet, Rental Person was born.

Rental Person provides a fascinating service to the lonely and socially anxious. This book details thousands of his true-life adventures:
• Accompanying a divorcee to her favorite restaurant
• Waving goodbye to a client from the train platform
• Sitting in the courtroom during a client’s trial
• Supporting a client during a difficult surgery

Rental Person is dependable, nonjudgmental and committed to remaining a stranger, and the curious encounters he shares are revelatory about both Japanese society and human psychology.
