1. Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san
Copy !req
2. Let Me Introduce My Crazy
Colleagues in This Bookstore!
Copy !req
3. No books are published
during the long holiday,
Copy !req
4. so they get released the days before.
Copy !req
5. Please think...
Copy !req
6. of the bookstores!
Copy !req
7. The new books haven't arrived, right?
Copy !req
8. Right?!
Copy !req
9. Thank goodness!
Copy !req
10. Our books are at the bottom!
Copy !req
11. Don't pack those yet! We have sheets!
Copy !req
12. Close one, thanks!
Copy !req
13. I haven't stocked a single shelf yet.
Copy !req
14. I'll do it tomorrow.
Copy !req
15. The packing machine's dead!
I can't prep for tomorrow!
Copy !req
16. I wanna go home!
Copy !req
17. All these books need to be put on display
Copy !req
18. Denied!
Copy !req
19. ***Monogatari keeps disappearing
from the shelves!
Copy !req
20. You there, who wanted to work at
a bookstore after seeing Episode 1...
Copy !req
21. Thanks, but reconsider!
Copy !req
22. Hey, no negative campaigning!
Copy !req
23. Putting out the books that go on sale today
Copy !req
24. Here's *jin.
Copy !req
25. Here's **tan.
Copy !req
26. Put them out. Put them out!
Copy !req
27. Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
28. Opening. Sorting / Cashier
Copy !req
29. There's no end to the sorting!
Copy !req
30. What the hell is with all these books?!
Copy !req
31. Hello.
Copy !req
32. Thank you for waiting!
Copy !req
33. Thank you.
Copy !req
34. Hello.
Copy !req
35. Thank you.
Copy !req
36. Hello.
Copy !req
37. Prepping the afternoon shipment &
for new books arriving the next day
Copy !req
38. I want to go home.
Copy !req
39. Here's an important point to make:
Copy !req
40. The timing at which the
books are put on display.
Copy !req
41. There are two kinds of Japanese comics.
Copy !req
42. Magazine-type comics
Copy !req
43. Book-type comics
Copy !req
44. The book-type comics, which need to be
put on display as soon as they arrive.
Copy !req
45. Book-type comics
Copy !req
46. Put on display immediately
upon arrival. Often arrives around
five days before official release date.
Copy !req
47. These often arrive about five days before
official release, so we have to be careful.
Copy !req
48. And then there are the magazine-type
books, which have strict release dates.
Copy !req
49. Magazine-type comics
Copy !req
50. If you put these on display before release,
you'll get the shit beaten out of you.
Copy !req
51. If we were to ever put them on
display before their release dates,
Copy !req
52. we'd probably get the shit kicked
out of us by a bunch of folks.
Copy !req
53. There has to be a better way to say this
Copy !req
54. The new-release books are coming.
Copy !req
55. Don't worry, it's fine!
Copy !req
56. We can do it!
Copy !req
57. Guys, there isn't a single copy
of Young M**azine out front!
Copy !req
58. Do we have any stock?
Copy !req
59. Second column from the right,
third row from the back.
Copy !req
60. Sweet! Thanks!
Copy !req
61. Dammit, I'm stuck.
Copy !req
62. Honda-san, could you add these
to the new books table?!
Copy !req
63. What the hell?! It's like
you're being tortured!
Copy !req
64. Found it!
Copy !req
65. Honda! Let's do the Young
M***zine when you get back!
Copy !req
66. Got it.
Copy !req
67. Pardon me!
Copy !req
68. Pardon me!
Copy !req
69. Pardon—
Copy !req
70. Mega lineup
Copy !req
71. Hello.
Copy !req
72. Stocking Boys
Copy !req
73. We've got the new afternoon volumes.
Copy !req
74. They're here!
Copy !req
75. We've still got two more
carts of new volumes.
Copy !req
76. Some re-stocks, too!
Copy !req
77. There's nowhere left to put them!
Copy !req
78. Maybe we should just put them
out front in their boxes.
Copy !req
79. Boss!
Copy !req
80. Online outrage guaranteed!!
Copy !req
81. Please get a grip!
Copy !req
82. We have a ton of boxes... What are they?
Copy !req
83. They're all new Kadokawa books.
Copy !req

Copy !req
89. And the novels come with flyers.
Copy !req
90. Sorry, those BL books and novels
are a partial shipment.
Copy !req
91. Partial shipment: When books
arrive a day later than scheduled
Copy !req
92. The rest will come tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
93. Aiya...
Copy !req
94. Okay, I have to work at the counter, now.
Copy !req
95. Crap, my new books arrived today.
Copy !req
96. In charge of girls' comics
Houtai-senpai
Copy !req
97. I didn't think they'd get here.
Copy !req
98. That's a new thing to hope for.
Copy !req
99. In charge of novels
Koomote-san
Copy !req
100. My new books came partial.
Copy !req
101. I'm supposed to be on break tomorrow...
Copy !req
102. I'm sorry, everyone tomorrow.
Copy !req
103. What a tragedy.
Copy !req
104. Honda.
Copy !req
105. I'm packing the Kadokawa

Copy !req
106. In charge of Kou-D-sha

Manager Armor
Copy !req
110. In charge of Sho-G-Kan
Fullface-senpai

put them at the fine arts section.
Copy !req
113. All hands need to be on deck
at the new books section.
Copy !req
114. We all need to cross each
others' turf and help out.
Copy !req
115. I have to finish my books and start preparing
tomorrow's stock of comic magazines.
Copy !req
116. Tower of Comic Magazine Boxes
Copy !req
117. Okay, done packing the Kadokawa books.
Copy !req
118. Huh?! Already?!
Copy !req
119. The game guide books are done, too.
Copy !req
120. The negotiation's ongoing, though.
Copy !req
121. I think we should sell them
at the fine arts section, too.
Copy !req
122. Wait, so the new books are done?
Copy !req
123. Some of them were partial.
Copy !req
124. Um, I'm sorry...
Copy !req
125. Have you seen my new books?
Copy !req
126. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
127. Are you sure those weren't partial, too?
Copy !req
128. Did you get any requests?
Copy !req
129. Actually, I was expecting them today,
so something feels amiss.
Copy !req
130. Oh, hang on.
Copy !req
131. Isn't this it?
Copy !req
132. In charge of 4-koma and subculture
Kamibukuro-senpai
Copy !req

Copy !req
142. Move, move.
Copy !req
143. Crunch
Copy !req
144. Houtai-senpai's back, too!
Copy !req
145. We warned them.
Copy !req
146. Honda-san's books are super heavy.
Copy !req
147. Indeed.
Copy !req
148. My books are mostly foreign comics.
Copy !req
149. In charge of foreign comics and art books
Honda
Copy !req
150. Web Slinging Man
Copy !req
151. Raging Spy Gentleman
Copy !req
152. Superb Man
Copy !req
153. Unlike Japanese manga, they're huge,
they use extremely high-quality paper,
Copy !req
154. Huge
Copy !req
155. Good paper
Copy !req
156. and, unbelievably, they're full color.
Copy !req
157. Color
Copy !req
158. So they're heavy as hell.
Copy !req
159. I can hold ordinary books with my
jaw, but American comics? Nope.
Copy !req
160. Japanese comics
Copy !req
161. Foreign comics
Copy !req
162. No way.
Copy !req
163. My arms will fall off.
Copy !req
164. Honda-san, want to use the two-tier cart?
Copy !req
165. Super useful!
Copy !req
166. That must be heavy.
Copy !req
167. Thank you.
Copy !req
168. Not today, though.
Copy !req
169. Staff Only
Copy !req
170. Super busy
Copy !req
171. Sorry, I guess you'd run
the customers over, huh?
Copy !req
172. No, it's fine. Yeah...
Copy !req
173. All right, everyone, let's
do tomorrow's new books!
Copy !req
174. Wakey wakey, even if your back hurts.
Copy !req
175. Time for the comic magazines.
Copy !req
176. My back...
Copy !req
177. It hurts...
Copy !req
178. American comics scare me.
Copy !req
179. I'll help as soon as I set
the American comics up.
Copy !req
180. Pardon me!
Copy !req
181. Pardon me!
Copy !req

Copy !req
186. I'm back.
Copy !req
187. I'll work on the comic magazines.
Copy !req

in the papers and such.
Copy !req
190. Yeah!
Copy !req
191. Let's leave the new books to them.
Copy !req
192. Meanwhile, the two of us have to...
Copy !req
193. pack the shelves like our
lives depend on it!
Copy !req
194. I forgot about that!
Copy !req
195. I told you in the beginning.
Copy !req
196. We won't be able to pack the shelves.
Copy !req
197. I'll do it tomorrow.
Copy !req
198. She did actually say that!
Copy !req
199. Man, my back hurts.
Copy !req
200. Man, my
back hurts
Copy !req
201. We forgot to pack the shelves because of all
the new book prep and more new book prep.
Copy !req
202. For there to be so many in the back
means there are no books up front!
Copy !req
203. Plenty in stock but none on display
means a surge of customer inquiries,
Copy !req
204. which means call bell hell.
Copy !req
205. Oh, god!
Copy !req
206. But wait...
Copy !req
207. Could it already be...
Copy !req
208. Closing Time
Copy !req
209. When did that happen?! Dammit!
Copy !req
210. Overtime confirmed!!
Copy !req
211. Let's finish this like

and left us with written instructions.
Copy !req
218. I'm heading out.
Copy !req
219. New subculture & 4-koma books
Copy !req
220. Wham
Copy !req
221. I thought it'd be a lot more rough.
Copy !req
222. This is the work of someone
who knows what they're doing.
Copy !req
223. In charge of game guide books
Rabbit Head-chan
Copy !req
224. I honestly don't know how to sort or
display subculture and 4-koma books,
Copy !req
225. so this is helpful.
Copy !req
226. Yeah.
Copy !req
227. In charge of Shu-E-sha

make sure they're in the store. -Lantern

make sure they're in the store.
Copy !req
231. All right, let's do what we can with
the subculture books while Senpai's gone.
Copy !req
232. Okay.
Copy !req

Copy !req
234. I'm home!

the new subculture books!
Copy !req

Copy !req

Copy !req
239. Why not?
Copy !req
240. We got almost no books while you were away.
Copy !req
241. Kami-chan.
Copy !req
242. New subculture books
Copy !req
243. We just now got the new books.
Copy !req
244. Don't give up, Senpai...
Copy !req
245. Go! Azarashi-san
Copy !req
246. Hey, everyone.
Copy !req
247. Are you enjoying Skull-face
Bookseller Honda-san?
Copy !req
248. The original manga was based on the real
experiences of former bookseller Honda-san.
Copy !req
249. I see.
Copy !req
250. The back of a bookstore
can be pretty mysterious,
Copy !req
251. but hopefully this manga
makes things clearer.
Copy !req
252. You'd expect no less from a bookseller
than to give recommendations so naturally.
Copy !req
253. By the way, Honda-san...
Copy !req
254. You scared me!
Copy !req
255. Please call me "Azarashi" in your books.
Copy !req
256. This is my editor, Azarashi-san.
Copy !req
257. Editor Azarashi-san
Copy !req
258. An assigned editor gives advice
to make manga more interesting,
Copy !req
259. Yeah, this is funny!
Copy !req
260. hears me out when I need
to talk, and cheers me up.
Copy !req
261. Go, go Honda!
Copy !req
262. They're very valuable to have around.
Copy !req
263. You can do it, Honda!
Copy !req
264. I was hoping to draw the skeleton cuter.
Copy !req
265. Oh, it's okay.
Copy !req
266. I don't expect you to draw anything cute.
Copy !req
267. No expectation
Copy !req
268. I think the skeleton's the most hilarious—I mean,
likable—when he's working really hard.
Copy !req
269. I'm lucky I was met with someone
with such an open mind.
Copy !req
