Animage Review : Welcome to the Convenience Store

This online Manhwa is one of the most hilarious ones i've come across to date, but before i go into detail about this one let me give you a brief about Korea online manhwa.
More or less online manhwa are written like a very long 4 koma style view which usually spans at east 20 panels.

Welcome to the convenience store is a comic based on the some of the daily things that happen to workers in a convenience store. From little kids trying to purchase cigarettes to elderly customers trying to exchange products they purchased almost a year ago to awkward employees dealing with strange customers.

There are allot of cultural differences between what we may call a convenient store and what Korean's consider a convenience store, the best way to describe a Korea convenience store it's similar to Superpharm attached to a gas station shop similar to the 360 shop in St. Augustine ( those familiar to that area would know exactly what i'm talking about.

The best thing these are all based on real events experienced by the author which are somewhat relate-able by anyone even if they have never worked in this kind of job and in other cases you would see a few things you too are guilty of doing at shops.

Its a really good laugh, a definate must-read
