Utsurun Desu. roughly means "it infects you" and is a homophone for a disposable camera produced by Fujifilm (where "Utsurun desu" means "it can take photos").

The series won the 1991 Bungeishunjū Manga Award.[1]

In 1992 a video game was released by Takara about Kawauso-kun journeying to Hawaii, titled Utsurun Desu - Kawauso Hawaii e iku or Utsurun Desu - Kawauso moves to Hawaii.
