1. Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san
Copy !req
2. ** Bookstore
Copy !req
3. Pardon me.
Copy !req
4. Do you have this book?
Copy !req
5. Yes, over this way.
Copy !req
6. Okay, one for everyone, then, please.
Copy !req
7. Crowd
Copy !req
8. Everyone?!
Copy !req
9. Staff Only
Copy !req
10. An INQUIRY
Copy !req
11. And so, the shelves are empty.
Copy !req
12. That happens.
Copy !req
13. As soon as the customers leave the shelf,
the books that were there are gone.
Copy !req
14. Empty...
Copy !req
15. That just happens sometimes.
Copy !req
16. For real, isn't it super hard to know
what your customers want?!
Copy !req
17. It is hard!
Copy !req
18. Huh? And you guys call
yourselves booksellers?
Copy !req
19. I asked Section Chief Pestmask the same
thing when I joined the company.
Copy !req
20. And she said...
Copy !req
21. Well, that's just the nature of the business.
Copy !req
22. Cut and dry.
Copy !req
23. Ouch!
Copy !req
24. I've got nothing to say to that!
Copy !req
25. Like, we still sell out all the time.
Copy !req
26. Like En*o-sensei's one about the native
tribesman and the college staffer...
Copy !req
27. What a monster of a BL manga!
Copy !req
28. Seriously, we ordered and
stocked 'em, then they were gone.
Copy !req
29. Time to get up, Section Chief.
Copy !req
30. All right!
Copy !req
31. Let's start with what we can do!
Copy !req
32. Time to put in some orders!
Copy !req
33. Section Chief Armor's so badass.
Copy !req
34. Hello, this is Section Chief Armor calling.
Copy !req
35. Honda, can you handle inquiries?
Copy !req
36. Got it.
Copy !req
37. A bookstore employee must
be quick on their toes.
Copy !req
38. For example, if the task is responding to
inquiries, one must do so with sincerity.
Copy !req
39. Let's see...
Copy !req
40. Oh, the Brazilian-looking guy
over there, checking out the books.
Copy !req
41. Hi!
Copy !req
42. I didn't expect this at all!
Copy !req
43. I'm From Brazil
Copy !req
44. Hello, konnichiwa!
Copy !req
45. I came from Brazil!
Copy !req
46. K-K-Konnichiwa! S-São Paolo!
Copy !req
47. Audio
Copy !req
48. Japanese
Copy !req
49. There's something I wanted
to ask you, actually.
Copy !req
50. All right, bring it!
Copy !req
51. I'll help you out so well.
Copy !req
52. Comics in Europe and the US are all colorful,
Copy !req
53. but Japanese manga are all black and white.
Copy !req
54. Why?
Copy !req
55. I don't know!
Copy !req
56. Oh, I wasn't looking for the answer.
Copy !req
57. I just wanted to hear a
Japanese person's opinion.
Copy !req
58. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
59. But I'll have to do what I can.
Copy !req
60. Let's! Bullshit English Time
Copy !req
61. I think
Copy !req
62. colorful comics are expensive to publish.
Copy !req
63. Japanese manga is cheaper than that.
Copy !req
64. So... I'm not sure,
Copy !req
65. but cutting costs is one of the reasons...
Copy !req
66. I um, err, eh, I think? Probably, yeah, maybe...
Copy !req
67. I got it!
Copy !req
68. Wait, seriously?!
Copy !req
69. Thank you, that was interesting!
Copy !req
70. That makes sense!
Copy !req
71. One last thing, then...
Copy !req
72. How do I get to here?
Copy !req
73. Dude, you're just lost?!
Copy !req
74. That building! Brown! Turn!
Copy !req
75. Ah, okay!
Copy !req
76. Really? Are you sure?
Copy !req
77. Obrigado!
Copy !req
78. Hug
Copy !req
79. Selfie.
Copy !req
80. Bye-bye!
Copy !req
81. I'll have to continue responding
with sincerity to customers
Copy !req
82. who come at me so sincerely...
Copy !req
83. I guess.
Copy !req
84. It's a Book Signing!!
Everyone Gather Up
Copy !req
85. Manga artist
Copy !req
86. Staff Only
Copy !req
87. Honda-san, call for you.
Copy !req
88. Coming.
Copy !req
89. Hello, I'm from Sales at S Company.
Copy !req
90. Sales
Copy !req
91. I'd like to talk about the new
book we're releasing.
Copy !req
92. I was actually wondering if we could
come by to work on a book signing.
Copy !req
93. Honda-san? Hello?
Copy !req
94. This is bad!
Copy !req
95. Did you pass out?
Copy !req
96. The author's coming?
Copy !req
97. That's great! Let's sell
them! Let's sell them!
Copy !req
98. Oh...
Copy !req
99. Does that author...
Copy !req
100. Do the tweeting thing?
Copy !req
101. I don't know, but is it important?
Copy !req
102. Those people don't have any idea
how much power they wield!
Copy !req
103. What are you talking about?!
Copy !req
104. Write.
Copy !req
105. Snap.
Copy !req
106. I signed these at ** Bookstore.
First come, first serve ❤
Copy !req
107. Signed book
Copy !req
108. Tweet.
Copy !req
109. The phone when that happens
is like a glitched-up RPG.
Copy !req
110. I saw Sensei's tweet...
Copy !req
111. The signed books...
Copy !req
112. About the tweet I saw...
Copy !req
113. I saw the tweet.
Copy !req
114. What amazing power.
Copy !req
115. The autographed book tweet.
Copy !req
116. I guess the other thing is stock.
Copy !req
117. Half-assed explanation
Copy !req
118. Purchased
outright
Copy !req
119. Consigned
Copy !req
120. Can't be returned
Copy !req
121. Can be returned
Copy !req
122. Signed books are purchased outright,
so I'm counting on you to negotiate.
Copy !req
123. Got it.
Copy !req
124. And the day has come...
Copy !req
125. ** Bookstore
Copy !req
126. O-Oh shit, it's him.
Copy !req
127. Manga artist
Copy !req
128. There, done.
Copy !req
129. Thank—
Copy !req
130. Sales

Copy !req
135. Editor
Copy !req
136. No problem.
Copy !req
137. Amazing power.
Copy !req
138. Excuse me, Honda-san...
Copy !req
139. Yes?
Copy !req
140. Is it all right if I go check out
the normal books on the shelves?
Copy !req
141. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
142. Go ahead.
Copy !req
143. Staff Pick
It's cute!
Copy !req
144. There's a pop-up.
Copy !req
145. Sorry my vocabulary is so weak.
Copy !req
146. Not at all, I'm glad.
Copy !req
147. May I take a picture?
Copy !req
148. Me, too!
Copy !req
149. Sure, go ahead.
Copy !req
150. S-Sensei!
Copy !req
151. Yes?
Copy !req
152. D-Do you do that tweeting thing?
Copy !req
153. I do, why?
Copy !req
154. Shoot, I asked that wrong!
Copy !req
155. No, like, when the author does it,
Copy !req
156. the phone glitches up
and RPG and #^*!...
Copy !req
157. Huh.
Copy !req
158. Got it. We'll hold off, then.
Copy !req
159. Wow, manga artists sure are something.
Copy !req
160. Nah, my books aren't that valuable.
Copy !req
161. They are!
Copy !req
162. You have amazing power!
Copy !req
163. Power... Do I really
have that much?
Copy !req
164. All you manga artists out there, please
let us know before you tell the Internet!
Copy !req
165. Depends on the store!
Copy !req
166. A Fascinating Erotic Story
Copy !req
167. That Time I Got
Reincarnated Naked
Copy !req
168. Excuse me.
Copy !req
169. We're looking for Japanese erotic manga.
Copy !req
170. Sexy shelves
Copy !req
171. Ah, sorry...
Copy !req
172. We're looking for Japanese erotic gay manga.
Copy !req
173. I see.
Copy !req
174. Come to think of it, we don't have any
gay books on the erotic media shelves.
Copy !req
175. Wait a second...
Copy !req
176. We have an insane amount of BL manga,
but gay comics, on the other hand...
Copy !req
177. Gay Comics
Copy !req
178. Yuri
Copy !req
179. Homosexuality
Copy !req
180. Oh, whatever.
Copy !req
181. This way, please.
Copy !req
182. These are the gay comics.
Copy !req
183. Wow.
Copy !req
184. Audio
Copy !req
185. Japanese
Copy !req
186. There's hardly any.
Copy !req
187. But...
Copy !req
188. All the books here are boys' love comics!
Copy !req
189. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
190. Look at all this!
Copy !req
191. I don't have enough money!
Copy !req
192. There are several levels of erotic books.
Copy !req
193. It's always such a touchy subject.
Copy !req
194. As a reader myself, I'm painfully
aware of the freedom we need,
Copy !req
195. but we have to follow the rules, or we lose
our social credibility as a bookstore.
Copy !req
196. Section Chief Armor is talking to her book.
Copy !req
197. One of the popular books was deemed harmful.
Copy !req
198. Mondo Muscles 2000%
Copy !req
199. Do you like hand-to-hand combat?
Copy !req
200. Harmful Books
Copy !req
201. "Harmful books" are books that are
recommended by municipal governments
Copy !req
202. to be kept away from young people.
Copy !req
203. This one's bad
This one's bad
Copy !req
204. Notifications are sent by postcard,
Copy !req
205. and in our company's case, all
applicable books must be returned.
Copy !req
206. I've been hooked on this youthful
book where they eat animals
Copy !req
207. and skin them and stuff.
Copy !req
208. The animals are drawn so delicious-looking,
Copy !req
209. they might say people will be tempted
Copy !req
210. to start catching animals like
crazy and make them into stew.
Copy !req
211. If it were to be deemed harmful...
Copy !req
212. I might... start looking for
a store that still sells it?
Copy !req
213. Huh?
Copy !req
214. Hey!
Copy !req
215. So what are you talking about?!
Copy !req
216. Thank you for calling.
Copy !req
217. ** Bookstore manga section.
Copy !req
218. I, um...
Copy !req
219. Nationally prized
shonen manga
Copy !req
220. I was reading a shonen manga
magazine at the convenience store,
Copy !req
221. and one of the romcom mangas
was just so pervy...
Copy !req
222. Yet all the bookstores sell it
on the shonen manga shelves.
Copy !req
223. Is this right?
Copy !req
224. We've got a complicated one!
Copy !req
225. May I transfer you to my superiors?
Copy !req
226. That's fine.
Copy !req
227. It concerns us to think that a manga
Copy !req
228. you happened to glance at
turned out to be so perverted,
Copy !req
229. and caused you trauma.
Copy !req
230. All of the manga and magazines
we sell are plastic-wrapped,
Copy !req
231. so I believe such unfortunate
encounters can be avoided.
Copy !req
232. That was a slick answer!
Copy !req
233. Heck yeah!
Copy !req
234. What do you...
Copy !req
235. What do you, personally,
think of that pervy manga?
Copy !req
236. What a comeback!
Copy !req
237. I'm sorry, I have yet to read it.
Copy !req
238. Huh?
Copy !req
239. Oh.
Copy !req
240. Yes. Huh?
Copy !req
241. The lady on the cover?
Copy !req
242. I see.
Copy !req
243. She seemed chaste, so you feel cheated.
Copy !req
244. You were shocked.
Copy !req
245. Mom! I found a boobie book!
Copy !req
246. That Time I Got
Reincarnated Naked
Copy !req
247. Right.
Copy !req
248. Right, I'm sure that could happen.
Copy !req
249. Sir, those are isekai boobies!
Copy !req
250. Done!
Copy !req
251. Good work!
Copy !req
252. I was so worried.
Copy !req
253. You were talking about pervy stuff...
Copy !req
254. Erotic content in manga is
never easy to deal with.
Copy !req
255. Cart coming through!
Copy !req
256. It's Rabbit Head.
Copy !req
257. Is that the afternoon new book haul?
Copy !req
258. Yes.
Copy !req
259. They're illustration collections and stuff.
Copy !req
260. All right, time to start wrapping them.
Copy !req
261. Flesh
Copy !req
262. Heavy breathing
Copy !req
263. White liquids
Copy !req
264. Improperly worn clothing
Copy !req
265. Contorted faces
Copy !req
266. Sweat
Copy !req
267. What are appropriate and
inappropriate erotic books?
Copy !req
268. It's something that bookstore staff
think about every day .
Copy !req
