Review: The setting of the book is "CONVENIENCE STORE CLERKS FIND LOOOVE," and the first couple's theme is lollipops. Cue wariness for potential sexual kink. (At least it's only in the extras. All I can say? EEEEW. DON'T EAT IT. GAAH)

Although nobody explicitly mentions it, this definitely has "training" themes. Sano's deceptive personality--initially shy, stalking his crush's work shifts and afore-mentioned lollipops (chupa-chups!) without the courage to actually have a conversation with him--takes a severe turn when the cashier finally realizes Sano's little high school heart beats wildly for him. Suddenly Sano turns on predator mode, and well, it's not exactly surprising how the story progresses from there. He approaches the cashier as one would a nervous cat, tempting it with treats and becoming a part of its life before it notices.

My cat yowls with dismay whenever she knows I'm leaving the house for a long time, and she likes to cuddle when  I come back after being away from home for extended periods of time. This fact is relevant to this story.

The second story is about the other store clerk. And a salaryman.

Mr.Salaryman gets drunk off his ASS, and falls asleep outside a convenience store where a worker finds him. ROMANCE ENSUES. Or it WOULD if Salaryman could forget about his crush (who's engaged to some girl, but he's still having a miserable affair with). Yeah, it's one of those.

I...really just want to smack Salaryman (who probably has a name). All. The. TIME. Like, GET OVER IT.
He leads on Convenience-Store-Worker for a while, really, all feminine and conflicted. I can just hear his weak little "uhhn...!" Grr. Annoying. And typical. He really CANNOT decide what he wants. (Maybe he just wants it all?)

Just a lot of typical situations, really. And public sex.
SOAP OPERA.
