I’ve started looking at some easier mangas to bridge the time and relax a little between the end of a L30 book club I participated in and my L29 book club, and I picked ちょっとだけ変な世界でアルバイト | L20?? as my first candidate.
The title fits perfectly. We follow the protagonist through 10 page manga short stories which always play at a different work place where she’s helping out for the day, and because the world is indeed “just a little bit weird” she’s dealing with interesting customers - e.g. robot customers at a coffee shop, or a ghost child at a photograpy studio. Sometimes there’s a bit of a surprising twist, and sometimes the story just feels surprisingly (considering the non-human characters) mundane and relateable.
But more than anything, the stories feel warm.
I really like it so far!
