A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers!

Export Case   A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers! The import case of Uncanny Convenience Store published by Shogakukan in Japan   2023.10.04   It was two years ago, in the fall of 2021, when I first heard about Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) through an email from a Japanese agent. At that point, the book had already gone through 15 printings in Korea, sold close to 100,000 copies, and had been adapted for drama and theater, which was enough to pique my interest.

As convenience stores are an integral part of modern life in Japan, we knew that this story would appeal to the Japanese public. Th...
