About this title

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: MangaHelpers)

Main characters

Sensei92 fan favorites
External profile
Sensei is a female employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop who lives alone in an apartment. She received her nickname "Sensei" when she announced her dream of surpassing a master mangaka one day. She is actually a doujinshi mangaka in her spare time, drawing and writing under the pen name Jona Taro, whom Umio is a big fan of. Because of her tiresome activities, she tends to fall asleep at work. Appearance-wise, she wears glasses, has long black hair, and always wear sweatshirts. She's self-conscious about her "unfeminine" attributes. She is also prone to panic attacks when under pressure. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)
Kameko55 fan favorites
External profile
Kameko is a female employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop. She got her nickname because of the camera she is always seen carrying around to take pictures of anything and everything remotely interesting to her. Conversely, she is afraid of getting her own picture taken by cameras and generally avoids interacting too much with others. Appearance-wise she is petite, flat-chested, and has wavy hair which she consciously hides with a huge hat. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)

Fu Girl36 fan favorites
External profile
Age: 16 Fu Girl is a female employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop. She received her nickname "Fu Girl" not because she is a fujoshi/yaoi fan as the name would imply, but because she's a huge fan of zombie media. She is obsessed with zombies to the point of sometimes attacking others whenever they display zombie-like behavior. She frequently pairs up with Sommelier despite the glaring difference in height. Appearance-wise, she is short and has short red hair. She is still in high school and lives together with her family. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)
Hio-tan19 fan favorites
External profile
Hio-tan is a female employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop. Her nickname is derived from the Japanese abbeviation for "not an otaku" (非オタ or Hi-Ota). Hio-tan, while dedicated, is a clumsy worker who frequently gets into trouble. She is easily embarrassed, and is the frequent target of Kantoku's teasing. She seems fascinated by BL comics. Appearance-wise she has long light blonde hair, has big boobs and is fashion savvy. She lives alone in a run-down apartment. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)
Kantoku6 fan favorites
External profile
Kantoku is a male employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop. As his nickname suggests, he is usually seen filming various awkward scenes in the lives of his co-workers, especially Hio, who he has taken a liking to. Albeit being a pervert, he is said to be experienced with girls. Kantoku acts as the leader of the Uma no Hone team, especially when the Manager is not there to keep the store running. Appearance-wise he has light brown hair, and is generally good-looking. He lives alone in a high-end apartment. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)
Umio3 fan favorites
External profile
Umio is the newest employee of the Uma no Hone comic shop—so he doesn't have a descriptive nickname like the others yet. Umi, as most of his friends call him, is a capable illustrator. Because of that talent, he usually helps Sensei with her manga. He is a total nerd and likes the girly game Die Heart. Appearance-wise, he wears glasses and has black hair. He lives alone in an apartment one train station away from Sensei's apartment. (Source: Denki-gai Official Website)
