With Denkigai no Honya-san having gotten the green light to be made into an anime, we previously had the staff broken down for us for the series that’s set to debut this fall. The adaptation has Masafumi Sato set to direct the project at Shin-Ei Animation with Makoto Moriwaki as the supervising director while Kazuyuki Fudemasu will be handling the series composition. Yurie Koniyuki is set to handle the character design and serve as animation director. Now the latest issue of Monthly Comic Flapper has arrived and the main cast of characters for the series has been announced, which has most of them coming back from their world on the drama CD that came out in 2013.

- Yu Kobayashi as G Men
- Satomi Satou as Tsumorin

The manga series began in Comic Flapper back in 2011 and it’s been picked up for North American release by Vertical. It’s currently at seven volumes and it had a drama CD produced for it last year as well. The anime adaptation doesn’t have any details yet for the property but it’s expected to arrive soon.
Plot concept: 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.
