Every day, we go on many adventures without even realizing it; this series explores how truly fantastical the most mundane of days can be. To anyone who grew up on children's classics of the 1950's and 60's, the artwork will harken to whimsical days when adult life appeared an unknowable world of mystery and battle - in parallel, Akino finds herself in many all-too-real battles of finesse and wit as she maneuvers the chess-like rigors of professionalism and charisma amid simple, yet pointed dialogue where a few words can pivot the plot entirely and inject a gripping new layer of intrigue to her methodical problem-solving. Forthose who often find uphill battles in day-to-day tedium, these stories will convey an upbeat reminder that good company and good advice are often all that's needed to find excitement and pride in the simplest of times - that every day can be an action-packed adventure, with the right frame of mind.
Working retail is tough enough with regular human customers, but what about when they're owls, wolves, koalas... and a woolly mammoth? Welcome to the Hokkyoku Department Store, where new employee Akino's customers are talking animals–including extinct species! Just like any shopper, each has their own complicated request that Akino must strive to satisfy. From a wealthy laughing owl searching for the perfect present to delight his wife to a thespian sea mink attempting to find a gift for a long-awaited reunion with her father, Akino must learn to meet their needs, while also dealing with her challenging coworkers and elusive floor manager.
