The Tatami Galaxy (四畳半神話大系, Yojōhan Shinwa Taikei^?, literally "4½ Tatami Mythological Chronicles") is a Japanese comedy-drama campus novel written by Tomihiko Morimi (森見 登美彦, Morimi Tomihiko^?), originally published in December 2004 by Ohta Publishing (太田出版, Ōta Shuppan^?) in the tankōbon format and later reissued in March 2008 by Kadokawa Shoten as a bunkoban. Its first-person narrator is an unidentified upperclassman at a Kyoto university reminiscing on the misadventures of his previous years of campus life, with each of the four chapters taking place in parallel universes in which he is enrolled in a different university society ("circle" (サークル^?)). As of January 2011, Korean, Traditional, and Simplified Chinese translations have been published.
