The June issue of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Flapper magazine announced that comedy manga Denki-Gai no Honya-san will be receiving an anime adaptation. The manga is written by Asato Mizu and is scheduled to air this Fall 2014. More information regarding the TV anime series will be coming soon.

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. (Source: Manga Updates)

The girl on the cover reminds me of Menma.

Anyway, might watch. Depends if it's my kinda humor.

Another gag SoL manga eh. Well this kind of SoL/Comedy is what I prefer compare to comedy focus like Yuru Yuri.

Mehh... it doesn't look terrible, but nothing at the moment really stands out for me either. The sort of gender balanced cast is nice.

Maybe I'll give the manga a look over.

The gender balanced cast is a plus. Servant x Service was great. I wonder if this will be as enjoyable?

The manga has some funny moments while other times doesn't work out right. I guess this is a hit or miss for me. I'm curious to see what studio will adapt it though or until I see a PV soon. I'm not very familiar with Asato Mizu's other works either.

Great, more lolis. Didn't see a single mature girl in the main cast (otherwise it's atleast good gender balanced).

There's only one real loli. The rest of the girls are just shorter mostly from the style, and there's the mandatory older fujo anyway

Manga is great either way.

Yay. So cannot wait for my OTP, Master and Umi! I wish their real names are used instead though! The only ones with their name truly revealed are Umi, Hio, and Rotten Girl (Haru).

If I'm remembering correctly, Rotten Girl's in high school actually, she just looks younger. Everyone else is post-high school age. (And to be fair, nearly all the girls look more like lolis the way they're drawn.)

It's one of my favorite manga, it's really funny.

Slice of life comedy? Sounds good to me.
