The latest issue of the Monthly Comic Flapper magazine has announced that an anime adaptation of Denki-Gai no Honya-san is in production. The anime is based on Asato Mizu’s manga and will be airing this Fall/Autumn.
Denki-Gai no Honya-san is a manga series from Asato Mizu. The series began in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Flapper magazine in July 2011. To date there are 6 volumes released with the 7th volume releasing on May 23rd. A drama CD released last year that featured Ryota Ohsaka (Motoki Yaze in Strike the Blood), Natsumi Takamori (Mei Misaki from Another), Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Kirito in Sword Art Online), Minami Tsuda (Megumi Yoshikawa in Wake Up Girls!)and Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata in Gintama).
Here is a synopsis of the manga from MAL:
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.
More details on the anime adaptation of Denki-Gai no Honya-san will be revealed in the upcoming issues of Monthly Comic Flapper magazine.
