Synopsis

Umio is a shy kid who just started his part time job at a manga store smack dab in the middle of the city. But his lifestyle isn't as glamorous as the neon lights that illuminate the city. Umio's closest friends are his co-workers who are all unique characters, to say the least, and although they're nice people, they have their quirks. They are a tight knit group of friends, have nicknames for each other and spend their weekends inside, sheltered from the extravagant scene happening on the outside.

Denki-Gai No Honya-San is a very average perverted anime about running a manga shop.

If I had to describe this anime in one word it would be erotic. Denki-Gai No Honya-San is an anime about running an manga store that also seems to sell every kind of perverted media to ever exist. However alot of the time the anime goes on random side arcs so alot of the time there isn't alot of content about said manga shop. For example it goes on all of the romance anime neccessities despite not being a romance anime of a beach episode, Sick Episode etc.

The plot is nearly ...

Having a passion is often a rewarding experience. A hobby or talent that brings one more joy than anything else. We understand this easily. For us, anime is one of our passions.

And through anime, through our passion, we are able to converse and connect with others. This situation pops up with all groups, not just in anime. Take the world of manga. For Denki-gai no Honya-san, manga is the passion and ...

What The Hell Is a Fujoshi? [Meaning]

Fujoshi can definitely claim to be one of the most contentious words ever. With so many uses and meanings, and all of these with different emotional interpretations, it's no wonder many are thoroughly confused. It's definitely time to put fujoshi under the microscope.
