That's a pretty impressive shelf, even for a bookstore.

Still, I have to admit this episode was kinda creepy compared to the others.

Interesting episode. Hmm what kind of person fits well into a bookstore huh. Quite the curious question. Someone thats sociable and fast on their feet i guess. Still the views gathered sure were amusing ones. So staff will get shuffled to other departments at times eh interesting. Man the gaming publishers sure are a escentric lot.

So many references :D

It was an ok episode. Aside from the references, nothing so special.

The part showing all the publishers was pretty funny lol

Kimetsu no Yaiba! Probably showed it because of the upcoming anime adaptation~ Banana Fish was on there too. Some shows are best watched airing, and this show is definitely one of those. So Kadokawa is super slow at reprinting, huh? XD Interesting things to know.

I very much enjoyed the Fist of the north start, Fullmetal Alchemist, Doraemon, and Boky no Hero Academia references, those were very clever. The meme shoutout was appreciated as well, I mean, it's always appreciated. It's almost tearing me up when I think about the series finishing up very soon, man, short and straight to the point shows like these are one precious catch indeed, and we have to protect the precious.

I looooooooved the references. Great episode!
I could identify Doraemon, FMA, Boku no hero academia, card captor sakura, banana fish, koisuru shirokuma, evangelion (lolol), and I think it was Berserk.

Loved this episode so much and pretty accurate. I loved that for Hakusensha they showed Guts and Natsume with Nyanko-sensei. Two of my favorite's, but exact opposites genre wise, chilling together.

I like the Kenshiro and Guts reference there

Gaming community is scary, I can imagine the anger already xD
But then again, people who like games don't really like read books
So dunno :P

Trying new stuff is scary but you'll get used to it eventually~ That rundown of all the major publishers with some of their most famous works was the best part of this episode.

I can relate to fullface-paisen

We got a Lot of references in this episode. There's so many show i know but haven't watched here. Also i didn't know Natsume Yuujinchou and Berserk have the same publisher.

I laughed a bit at the surprisingly convincing opinions he was expressing about various publishers.

I still like Hakusensha.
