Synopsis

Pochiyama-san works at a local pharmacy. She is a loner and seldom speaks; instead she writes what she wants to say on... well you'll see for yourself once you read this short and humorous one-shot.

Preliminary (1/4 eps)
Pochiyama at the Pharmacy is a slice of life one shot manga that is strangely intriguing, but leaves us seemingly empty handed.

In the end it feels like a chance meeting of what could've been an interesting relationship, but i suppose that is the problem with most one-shots.

It's a real short story so ...
