Series by 水あさと

Welcome to Umanohone, a quirky comic bookstore in the bustling Electric Town, where the staff are as colorful as the manga they sell. Umio, the shy new hire, dives into a world of passionate otaku coworkers, each with their own unique obsessions and nicknames. From Hiotan, the yaoi enthusiast, to Kantoku, the aspiring director with a camera always in hand, the team tackles everything from hectic store events to personal quirks with humor and heart. As they navigate the chaos of retail life, friendships deepen, and unexpected bonds form.

Reina Aharen, a small and quiet high school girl, struggles with gauging the right distance in relationships—sometimes too distant, sometimes too close. Her classmate Raidou Matsuboshi, seated next to her, initially finds her hard to read, but a small act of kindness sparks an unexpected connection. As Reina's unpredictable antics unfold, from sudden closeness to quirky misunderstandings, Raidou finds himself drawn into her world, navigating the chaos with patience and humor.
