In this uplifting memoir, famous Japanese pop culture ""geek"" Toshio Okada tells of the diet and lifestyle changes he made in his fight against obesity, and how his public perception dramatically improved as a result of his healthier appearance. Loosing 110lbs through a technique of recording his diet, he shows people can apply the same means of self-control to other aspects of their lives. This memoir isn't just for people with a weight problem; it's for the kid that failed at sports, or wore brace and everyone, who at some point has been considered un-cool.

Review:
"The diet book of the Obama era... A valuable illustration of otaku-problem solving. The process of building these arguments is a fascinating exercise in otaku-think, erected with risk/reward, cost/benefit analyses." Ain't It Cool News
"If you're at all interested in losing weight, or controlling any part of your life, Sayonara, Mr. Fatty is indispensable. The book is warm and inviting, and treats you with reassurances and life stories from a man who is just like the rest of us." --Japanator
"The real results, when achieved, are so worth it. In his last chapter, Okada describes it as landing on the moon. When you lose a lot of weight, everything about you changes... If you can achieve this landing on the moon sensation using his methods, this book will be the best fifteen bucks you've ever spent."--Mania.com
