| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man, this show is starting to feel like Halloween or something lol All these different characters with their masks and reactions. The skeletal dude still stands out the most though if you ask me. |
 |
| Love the Mr. Skull seiyuu :DD I would really like this anime even more if it had a better animation and a 24 min duration but well is really funny to watch >w< |
| "Gradually Watermelon" |
| The mornings sure are hectic for a bookstore. They sure have strict rules regarding which books to put on display though. Balancing deliveries sure looks tough. The insight into the difference of japanese manga and western comics though was pretty interesting. Another day and another hectic day at the bookstore. This episode really showed just how much work actually goes behind the scenes in a bookstore. |

| Damn, working in a bookstore sounds hard. |

| "If you put these on display before release, you'll get the shit beaten out of you" lmaoooo |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I feel bad for Paperbag head lady... going on leave and getting ready instructions for your colleagues to cover for you, only to come back realizing its all for nothing and you still have to do all the work... been there xD Great episode as always! |
 |
| RIP Honda. I would not want to work in a Japanese bookstore after this. |
| hah, guess bookselling job is a living nightmare in japan. i wonder when the mangaka had the time to make the manga with all this packed schedule and overtime |
 |
| Another fun episode. Booksellers in Japan have it tough. |
 |
| Well documented, pretty good. uninstallthegame said: They explain it at the end of the episode, it's based on former experience. hah, guess bookselling job is a living nightmare in japan. i wonder when the mangaka had the time to make the manga with all this packed schedule and overtime |
 |
| Ehh, still not funny. Not my cup of tea, I guess. |
  |
| Interesting, I really like when mangakas base their work on their personal experiences, it makes them feel a lot more genuine. This is a really nice anime to have a laugh and have some relax time between marathons of episodes, I'm really enjoying it so far. |
 |
| As expected, the author is a skeleton. OP sounds like RHCP's By The Way. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| This episode wasn't good. The characters kept complaining and we don't get enough time to think. The anime is probably more enjoyable if you have experience working in a bookstore. For those of us that don't know much about it, it would have been nice to have a character, who doesn't know much, learning through experience. |
| This is a weaker second episode. I really liked the first one, but this episode not so much. |

| That fuckin Love Live Movie poster in the background lol beautiful this episode went a bit too fast for us non-bookstore workers to follow imo, also wasn't as funny as episode 1 |
| i didn't found it that funny, but the characters are cute and the references are top tier |
| Oh, poor Koomote-san, some of her books were delayed so she had to be there on her day off, so sad. It was kind of interesting to know what happens during the day when the library receives more books but it wasn't that good. Honestly, the last episode was better. At least, I now know how stressful their jobs can be. |
| The first episode was hillarious, but didn't find this second one funny at all. Dropped. |
| the struggle for employees lol...man they work hard |
 |
| Holy smokes, I had no idea what was going on in the first part. The whole episode felt like a bunch of bookstore worker inside jokes. I still enjoy seeing the inner workings of a bookstore, very reminiscent of Denki-gai no Honya-san. |
| this show is probably one of my favorites of this season, it’s funny and cute, and i like how it’s based off of the actual experiences of the mangaka. i also love the character designs, they’re really simple yet interesting. also the ED is a fuckinnnnn bop |
 |
| another great episode, very funny, STRESSED ME THE FUCK OUT lol i felt like i was there in the rush hours too. in one word, this is a very sympathetic anime. lovely to watch, very relatable, just cute af |

| The style of this show is truly something and the fact that it's based on real situations makes me appreciate it even more. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
That's really an informative anime I love it !  Manga, 4-koma manga, foreigners comics, artbook, light novels... yeah I can totally relate to the rush thoses big japan bookstores have if they have to put EVERYTHING on display the some days before the holidays! [...] Those who don't understand and can't relate... you're kind of stupid aren't you ?  Ohohohohoho  |

Duration /=/ quality and the comedy is mostly wordplay, references, and reaction shots. Nothing really calls for fancier animation. |

There are lots and lots of anime that have a silly history or are full of gags and have an incredible animation that makes them even better, think about "Nichijou" or "Danshi koukousei no nichijou" for example, those anime are really well done, but if you think on it they're just gag anime, right? ;) this one should have the same rights that all those ones, although i will enjoy it anyways owo)/ |

You need animation to really convey things like the deer suplex or the giant mouth laser. You don't really need it for the "Special Yaoi Book". And again, longer /=/ better. There are plenty of short episode series that would completely wear out their welcome with 24 minute episodes. |
| Being a Bookseller is hectic, tedious and extremely stressful tiring!! 1st episode was better in comparison. 5/5. |
 |
| I feel like this cute little series is more enjoyable and relatable for anyone who's worked in customer service / dealing with people in general, not just as a bookseller. Those long lines and everyone's reactions had me so stressed lol Yaay for bigger cast now :~D paper bag guy is adorable |
| The loads of Engrish in the last episode threw me off but this one made the series more tolerable. As a retail worker this hits home/. |
| Jokes aside, this episode really manages to capture the hardship of a long day of work, the breakdowns, the intensity, and the exhaustion, but most of all, the spirit of the team and the importance of good relationship with your co-workers. I really like how they handled the fourth wall breaking in this episode at the end, with Honda-san shouting out his advisor as himself being the Mangaka of the source material of the show. |
| This anime have an amazing seiyuu lineup Can't wait for event or ニコ生 <3 That moment when you're on vacation but you got nothing when you're at vacation.. Then bam どんまい Kamibukuro-senpai! xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Oh man, this show is starting to feel like Halloween or something lol Another episode were we get to see slice of life moments with characters you might wanna like if your a fan for slice of life |
 |
And here we go again....... starting to like white haired guy. I kept telling myself that this was only "character development"....... and then the "cuts himself" vampire pops up. |

| "Those of you who thought of working in a book store after the first episode, please reconsider." I almost died. I feel bad putting this show on pause. |
 |
| Kinda growing on me lol |
| Quite digging that ED to be honest! Really fun development in general I must say. Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I've seen a glimpse of how much of a hassle receiving and sorting newly-arrived books can be so I can understand their plight. This reminds me about how disappointed I sometimes get towards the manga section of bookstores I go to and it might be because they don't bother bringing out the good stuff in the storeroom... |
 |
| OST is really funny, great job for the OST |
 |
| Very fun episode, lifting books everyday must be tough |
 |
| wow never thought that become bookstore staff is really a busy work.. then again probably only in japan because they keep produce new manga/magazine every week.. |
| Very much a hand of burden to become a Bookseller huh? |
| you know what? Instead of making me reconsider, this episode actually made me want to try working in a bookstore. But only for a week tho,just for the experience. I don't know if this is normal but i kinda love being in rush. Maybe it has something to do with the adrenaline |
