Utsurun Desu. (Japanese: 伝染るんです。) is a Japanese manga created by Sensha Yoshida, which ran in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits from 1989 to 1994. This manga is deemed to be one of the works that initiated the "irrational" or "unreasonable" gag comic genre where the reason of its funniness cannot be explained by logic and traditional sense of humor, which made this title very popular among teens and early twenties at that time. One of the most popular characters that appeared in Utsurun Desu was "the otter", Kawauso-kun.

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.
