Funny / Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san

Go To

  • "The Handsome Guy is First in Line!": An English-speaking Silver Fox asks Honda for a certain book that his daughter wants... said book is a Hentai Doujinshi featuring Gintoki and a tentacle monster. Since Honda doesn't know enough English to explain that they don't sell that kind of manga, she instead describes it as a "SPECIAL YAOI BOOK!", prompting the customer to yell "Jesus Christ!"
    Customer: What's ya-oh-ee book?
  • "Lost in Manga": Lantern is looking for a manga to recommend to a customer. The request was for a moving Shoujo manga, three volumes at most, and entertaining even for a man in his forties. In the end, the customer ends up buying... BERSERK (which, as Honda points out, is pretty much the opposite of what they asked for).
  • There's something thematically appropriate yet hilarious about Honda, who portrays herself as an animate skeleton, shrieking in sympathy over her coworker's ruined spines when they attempt to move a heavy load of boxes.
    *CRACK*
    Honda: Kamibukuro-senpai's spine!
    Houtai: Don't be such a wimp, Kami-chan, I'll get it.
    *EVEN LOUDER CRACK*
    Honda: Houtai-senpai's spine too!
    Full-face: ...we warned 'em.
