A demon’s plans meet the realities of retail

Set in an Osaka convenience store during the night shift, this manga pairs supernatural trouble with the routines of late-night retail. Allura, a demon who comes to the human world hoping to harvest evil energy, instead finds that her customers—and the job itself—do not deliver what she expected. The setup places her otherworldly ambitions alongside familiar workplace pressures, with each night’s encounters bringing her into contact with customers who may not be human. Volume 1 frames the story around a simple question: can Allura keep the job when the realities of working retail frustrate her original purpose?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in supernatural characters in an everyday workplace setting
  • Readers who enjoy slice-of-life stories centered on customer encounters
  • Readers looking for a convenience-store setting in Osaka’s entertainment district

Book overview

Night shift always brings out the weirdos, and that's especially true for the convenience store in Osaka, where the late-night customers aren't always human! A cute, slice-of-life story about a demon girl working the late shift and the customers she encounters each night.

When night falls over Osaka's premier entertainment district, a deep darkness gathers, as vagrants and bar-hoppers alike flock to late-night minimarts to feed their basest cravings and vices...

Hoping to harvest this evil energy for her own ends, the haughty-but-hardworking demon Allura has come to the human world to work at one such convenience store--where she quickly finds that the night shift sucks, and she can't reap the precious human evil she wanted. Will she be able to hold down the job, or will the crushing reality of working retail send her back to the underworld?!
