1. Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san

2. A Book about Life, Death, and Rebirth

3. Hi, pardon me...

4. Yes?

5. Do you have the volume of Yokohama *** SF that came out last week?

6. Sure, let me check.

7. Thank you.

8. I really can't find it anywhere,

9. even though it just came out.

10. Search

11. I never knew it was so popular.

12. Yokohama

13. I've been curious about it ever since I saw it online.

14. Maybe I'll buy it later.

15. Local stock

16. Sold out

17. Oh, too bad.

18. Let's see if I can put in an order.

19. Stock at other stores

20. All gone

21. Wholesaler stock

22. Not responding

23. Publisher stock

24. Empty

25. S.O.L.

26. You don't have it, do you?

27. S-Sorry to keep you waiting.

28. Unfortunately, we're out of stock, and we aren't able to order more.

29. I see.

30. I understand.

31. I'm so sorry!

32. Excuse me, do you have Yokohama *** SF?

33. It came out around last week.

34. I'm sorry, we're out of stock.

35. Not here, too!

36. Do you have Yokohama *** SF?

37. We don't.

38. Heeunngh...

39. Hi, do you have Yokohama *** S—

40. No, we don't.

41. Nooo!

42. This is the first time everyone's asked for the same book.

43. To think we'd have sold out of all copies on the first day...

44. Careless mistake

45. I haven't bought one for myself, either!

46. Staff only

47. Man, that book sold like crazy.

48. I did make a follow-up order.

49. In charge of novels and light novels

50. It's popular, so I'm sure it'll get a reprint,

51. but Kadokawa's relatively slow about those, so who knows when we'll get them.

52. Right...

53. Too many manga!

54. There's nowhere to put them!

55. There's no place for the new books shelf.

56. Help me, Fullface!

57. Let me use your shelves!

58. Our section isn't much better.

59. I don't think I can.

60. I just walked in on something terrifying.

61. I can make it!

62. I can make the train!

63. If I haul ass,

64. I can totally make it!

65. Shit, yeah, I can—

66. Nope!

67. Look, he's been prepping too many shelves for new books. He's lost his mind.

68. By prepping too much?!

69. I'm tired.

70. I'm dying.

71. Hey, can I hug you a little?

72. I feel like I can sprint to the station if I get re-energized with a hug.

73. Pretty please?

74. Just for a second.

75. Hey, our shift's over.

76. God damn!

77. Later, guys!

78. Kami-chan clocks out!!

79. Is it just me, or are new books not selling as well lately?

80. We just end up returning them after a month, right?

81. Since we don't wanna stock crap we don't need.

82. But as soon we make the return, we get a ton of sales, and we have to order in a hurry.

83. We know how that feels.

84. And don't you think the turnover is insanely fast on the new books shelves?

85. New books

86. It's practically a tile puzzle.

87. Seriously, I can't keep doing this every single month.

88. I told you, too many manga is being published!

89. I'm getting caught in the crossfire here!

90. Bookseller/manga author

91. Having too much stock presents a problem,

92. so booksellers tend to get touchier than usual about new releases.

93. No, that's absolutely not gonna sell!

94. The author's an unknown newbie, aren't they?

95. It's your job to push them harder as their publisher.

96. And it doesn't look like there's any hype online, either.

97. No, we can't just add more stock!

98. Was that from a publisher?

99. Yeah.

100. It's just not that easy to sell a book that's had no previews or hype online.

101. We can't just add more stock, huh?

102. Unlike famous works, they won't sell without any effort.

103. Of course.

104. But it'd be a different story if the publisher were to push it aggressively.

105. I'd be like, "Sure, we'll make the effort to sell them!"

106. She's so nice.

107. I'm so moved.

108. Speaking of which, Honda, you've been doing that all day today.

109. Are you done checking the flops?

110. I'm still not done!

111. stock

112. There's nothing here!

113. Lies!

114. Every book is a new book at first.

115. There's nothing here!

116. But after that period, it doesn't sell as well.

117. Lies!

118. These books are called "deathbed books".

119. Dammit, Skull-face Bookseller isn't selling!

120. Dammit, Skull-face Bookseller isn't selling!

121. Deathbed books

122. Bye!

123. Bookstore

124. Wholesaler

125. Publisher

126. They get returned to the publisher through the wholesaler.

127. Bye!

128. I'm back.

129. Foreign Comics

130. Okay then, let's get started.

131. Shove the books that won't fit onto the lower shelves.

132. It hurts!

133. * Hallucination

134. Stick me in more gently!

135. No!

136. I can't! My wrapping is coming apart!

137. Shut up and get in!

138. No! Stop! No!

139. Don't forget...

140. * Hallucination

141. You shouldn't be so forceful.

142. Deathbed books get sent back

143. because they don't fit on the shelves.

144. You're right.

145. Who the hell are you talking to?

146. I finally managed to figure out the upper shelves.

147. Koomote-san?!

148. List

149. I have to return our deathbed books too,

150. but the books in my section move so slowly.

151. She's the type who speaks differently when emotional

152. If we keep returning books at this rate,

153. the whole publisher is going to go down.

154. Will you choose this shelf, empty from having had entire publishers' worth of books returned?

155. Or this shelf, jam packed because you kept everything?

156. Section Chief Pestmask!

157. Just kidding.

158. Don't let it get to you too much.

159. The deathbed books are just a rough guide.

160. You can try returning them,

161. and then re-stock them if we get inquiries.

162. You're right.

163. The reality is that if it isn't selling, we aren't getting inquiries, either.

164. I have to say goodbye.

165. Yep, go for it!

166. The difference in passion...

167. It must be hard for Koomote-san.

168. There's no telling when her books will start selling again.

169. Here we go!

170. Poor Seller Volume 2

171. A series with only some volumes on their deathbed!

172. Not selling

173. Not selling

174. Selling

175. Selling

176. I see, this is tough.

177. If we return these, some books in the series are going to be missing.

178. I wonder if I should not return them.

179. Poor Seller Volume 2

180. Poor Seller Volume 4

181. Ah, what do I do?!

182. It's a middle volume and a final volume!

183. It'll look absolutely awful if we sell only the other ones!

184. I wonder if someone will suddenly buy this book.

185. The books that are selling won't fit on the shelves.

186. I have to return the deathbed books, or I'll take those non-consenting books and...

187. No!

188. Poor Seller Volume 2

189. It's okay...

190. I'm just returning some other deathbed books to free up some space.

191. That'll at least get me out of this tightly-packed problem.

192. Delay the inevitable!!

193. Book

194. Book

195. All that "deathbed" really means is that they aren't selling at this particular store.

196. Out-of-print

197. These days, even out-of-print books often rise from the dead.

198. That's me, isn't it?!

199. Revived book

200. Such timeless books are called "revived books."

201. A non-fiction book on the deadly ebola virus

202. became a top-seller when it was released twenty years ago.

203. Not found

204. Eventually that book fell on its deathbed, and was out of print for a long time.

205. But with the 2014 ebola outbreak in West Africa, it was quickly revived.

206. It traveled through time to be resuscitated as a new edition.

207. That book further opened the floodgates to a myriad of books on contagious diseases,

208. and we even saw in-depth special sections emerge.

209. Contagious Diseases in Your Lives

210. I never would have thought books come back to life like this.

211. I remember that.

212. It's not something you see a lot of in the comics section.

213. I guess some nostalgic favorites get revived sometimes.

214. Even that's a rare occurrence, though.

215. There was a book that a customer asked about, and it was out of print.

216. I'm sorry, this book is out of print.

217. We do seem to have an e-book.

218. Customer

219. I said I want a book!

220. You think I'd come all the way to a bookstore just to buy a damn e-book?!

221. I'm sorry!

222. I've found there's a high chance that I'll get yelled at for mentioning e-books,

223. so I decided to never bring them up again.

224. I should be careful, too.

225. Honda-san.

226. I bought the reprints.

227. That's the book I missed, too!

228. Yokohama *** SF!

229. Congratulations.

230. Come on, you said you missed your chance to buy it, too.

231. I kept a copy.

232. Th-Th-Th...

233. Thank you so much!!

234. Life, death, and rebirth.

235. Hi, new book here

236. Huh? I'm not selling well

237. Looks like this is it

238. Sent back... Deathbed...

239. Wait a sec, sudden demand!

240. Whoa, it's revived

241. Book

242. I think daily about the eternal cycle of a book's rebirth.
