Denki-gai no Honya-san

[Chiri Tsukikawa]

 

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.

 

Thoughts? Is this series all about the comedy? If those questions could be answered, it'd be very appreciated.

Anime News Network regularly posts preview guides each season to give people an idea of news shows. There are multiple reviews per show, so this may be a bit lengthy, but it may help.

From a cursory glance, it sounds more like it prioritizes slice of life antics (Though I do Zac Bertschy's shorthand - "slife") or being more of a comedy. I guess if you want a clear idea, if you had to really distinguish those two genres, which one would appeal to you more?

I do enjoy watching this show. Kantoku, the store's manager, is a great character.

Something I mentioned before this was that I just didn't want to watch anything this season that prioritized mostly or a great deal of comedy. Although that wasn't something I mentioned here (what I mentioned was if it was "all about the comedy", though it seems like that isn't the case). I'd have to say after looking at some of those reviews... it doesn't appeal to me right now, but maybe sometime in the future. Thanks for the reply.
