Release #6 - #06: The Man They Called A Monster

Akito Shiranui starts working part-time at a convenience store at Risa Kusukami’s invitation. But unable to keep up with the overwhelming workload and constant rush, Akito keeps piling up mistakes at an astonishing rate—even with Risa’s help. Before long, the once-warm looks from his coworkers begin to change. Just as things are going badly, Akito is suddenly asked by the store manager to cover a late-night shift. To make matters worse, Risa is scheduled to help out at another store and won’t be there with him. With no confidence that he can handle it on his own, Akito feels cornered—but with no choice, he accepts the request. That night, Akito begins his shift alongside Tomizawa, the late-night clerk, and the assistant manager. Thrown into panic by an immediate mistake, he barely manages to recover thanks to the assistant manager’s support. Then a girl named Ayami Saneto appears, desperately asking Akito to call the police. She claims a strange man has been following her, but her phone battery is dead and she can’t call for help herself. Facing Ayami in tears, Akito is thrown into a state of panic. Will Akito survive his very first late-night shift without Risa? And what exactly was happening at the convenience store that night? A mystery-tinged, slightly naughty romantic comedy starring Chykic people with quirky, minor supernatural powers! Note: This comic was created using illustrations generated with Stable Diffusion, which were then edited, panelized, and refined with added text and effects.
