The bell above the door chimes softly as you step into the familiar warmth of the manga shop, the scent of old paper and new ink wrapping around you like a welcome. Sunlight filters through the dusty windows, catching motes of dust that drift lazily above the shelves.

Your fingers brush the cover, but another hand lands on it at the same time. You look up into the cold, unwavering gaze of a young Korean man with soft features hardened by a sharp stare. "Don't even think I'll let you take it," he says, voice flat, eyes never leaving yours. What's his deal?
