Some nice gags and one liners but the episode also was boring and generic. A 3/5 seems about right.
The second half of the episode went overboard with the cuteness, in my opinion. Or maybe it just couldn't compare with Gekkan Shoujo?

However, we got THIS:

I loved the regulators speech, but the part where I totally lost it was when Sommelier started the slow clap.


I clapped along.

Not a big fan of the art but I thought it was decently funny, and I think it will do a good job of giving me a few laughs.

Overall decent first ep. and I'll definitely be viewing this at least a couple more times, but hopefully the comedy starts picking up.

Nice details on the mangas and backgrounds.. wish that could have been implemented into the characters -.-

Pretty enjoyable! I like how they explore the book life and fanatics of certain genres. Doesn't hurt that all the characters are hilarious in their own ways.

Agreed. Maybe it's a bit rushed, but I find it amusing.

You know, I think that a lot of us have evolved to the internet...

Anyway, it's a cute seinen that have some adult themes adapted in a cute moe way.

Hio is such a bro, fucking in every situation, but trying her best to help.

Well, this will be fun. Maybe even the comedy of the season for me.

The OP's music is perfect and the song itself is pretty good.

Hio is my waifu nuff said.

"We are all ero book lovers" <<< Accurate.

Oh sensei is a mangaka. That baby-side, that was quick xD

Poor guys.

The otp in this ep is strong.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

I liked it, I would like to read the manga because lots of others here insist its even better. There were lots of references and genre nuances.

Is there any reason Sommelier doesnt have eyes??

Interesting show, I'l probably stick with it because it seems kinda funny and it really reminded me of Genshiken and that's always a good thing.

not a single smile was had

this show is definitely for severely depressed people that would fake a smile at anything to cheer themselves up

srsly.. none of this retarded shit is even remotely funny (no cereal killer)

another waste of fucking time series for me /10

I wanted to try some newer SoL anime and my search has brought me here and... damn this might just be too moe for me. There are a few funny moments here and there but.. I'm not saying it's bad or something it's just that it's boring!

what the hell this might get better I'll continue.

Cute show that seems to have the potential to be educational about what it's like to work in a manga shop/bookstore in Japan. I never knew they shrink wrapped the books in the stores, I thought the publishers did that! I also never realized that had stickers to block people from opening the books in the store either.

Overall I was reminded of "Working" a lot though, so I'm not sure how interesting this will be in the long run.

The beginning is not overly crackling, but it partially met my expectations. The thing that I appreciated, in addition to the comedy, is to have had a cross-section of how the work in a large Japanese comics shop takes place. The life of those who work there is really terrible, I would not like to work on it, eheheheh! Better drawings and animations than I imagined at the beginning. The opening and ending are not bad.

The second half kinda saved this first episode.

Also, next episode seems to be filled with trashy fanservice so I don't know what to think of this show so far.
