I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 228 Early At The Bookstore

Liverpool Bookstore, Sakura City.

It was the first day of December, and the capital of the country was colder than usual.

Even though the snowstorm that descended upon Elffire City did not fall on Sakura City, the weather was colder than usual that morning.

Uda Tomiji was 26 years old man who worked as a cashier in a bank.

This was a good job that made him capable of living without worrying about money if he did not spend it on expensive things.

But that was not what happened.

Although he did not spend money on expensive things, he still spent money monthly in a single institution.

Green Kite Orphanage.

This was one of the orphanages of the Sakura City, and it housed hundreds of kids waiting for adoption.

But even though the kids were constantly being adopted, some kids were not adopted after a long time.

And these kids had already lost hope of being adopted.

But the orphanage had to take of these kids, and that was the principal reason that most orphanages had such a high cost of maintenance.

Uda was one of the kids who lived in the orphanage when he was a kid.

And it was only with the patronage of people who left the orphanage that he and his brother and sisters who did not get adopted that they were able to complete their education.

So, everyone who left the orphanage took a vow that when they got money, they would help the orphanage.

This way, the kids who were living at the orphanage could live without worrying about money.

That's why the Green Kite Orphanage was a model among the institutions.

The children and teenagers there could live and study and grow without any pressure.

And the seniors, who left the orphanage after growing up, often visited the orphanage to play with the kids.

Uda donated part of his salary every month.

He lived a frugal but also satisfying life.

But there was one thing that he loved ever since he was a kid.

He loved to read!

And manga and light novels were his favorites to read.

Recently, he discovered a new manga that he fell in love with it.

It was about an orphan kid just like in a world full of dangerous things.

When he read the first volume of the manga, he could not stop thinking about it.

Short story, Uda became a die-hard fan of [Naruto].

That's why he woke up so early that Tuesday morning, even though he only had to get to work at 10 am.

He heard that the third volume of the manga would hit the shelves of the bookstores today!

He already experienced the frenzied search for these volumes last month when he almost wasn't able to buy the second volume of the [Naruto] manga.

So, this month he decided to arrive before the bookstores even opened.

But when he arrived in front of the bookstore, he saw 30 to 40 people waiting in front of it.

And after asking around for a bit, he discovered that all these people had come to buy the new volume of [Naruto]!

Uda was once again impressed by the rapid popularity of this manga.

Most of them noticed that the publishing house responsible for the manga had some difficulties in meeting the demand last month, so they wanted to secure their volume after they realized that.

Because if they were sure that they would get their volume later that day, they wouldn't have arrived so early.

But it could not be helped, they liked the manga too much so they were willing to arrive that early.

And some of them even wanted to buy the other works from the Fuji Jump.

And Uda was one of these people.

Even though Uda liked [Naruto] more, he still liked the [Htatraku Maou-sama] manga and the [SAO] light novel.

The people were waiting patiently when they suddenly heard the door of the bookstore opening.

Their eyes lit up instantly with that sound.

When the doors opened and they were allowed to enter, these people entered with avid steps.

They wanted to secure their [Naruto] volume as soon as possible.

The clerks of the store seemed to be expecting that so no one tried to stop these people.

It was only after each one had a [Naruto] volume in their hands that they calmed themselves.

Uda had an excited face as he saw the manga in his hands.

There were two people on the cover.

Naruto with his characteristic yellow hair and orange clothes was seated as he read a parchment.

While Kakashi was seated behind him with the book he always read in his hand.

The language of the manga was Yamatese.

Actually, every manga and light novel was only published in the Yamatese language.

It was a tradition that came from centuries ago and the industry maintained it.

It was important to remember that every citizen of the country was fluent in English and Yamatese.

So, no one in the country had any difficulty in reading mangas and light novels.

Even the animes were only dubbed in Yamatese.

Therefore, every anime that was broadcasted in the Sakura Abode Country was in the Yamatese language.

And everyone in the country was also able to understand.

And the dubbing works of the voice actors were as iconic as the ones from Theo's past life.

That's why no one wanted the change.

It was only when the animes were broadcasted or watched in other countries that other dubbings and subtitles were used.

All in all, the Yamatese language was the official language of the anime and manga industry.

That's why it was not a surprise to see the [Naruto] manga in the Yamatese language.

Most of the people who entered the bookstore with Uda headed to pay for the manga after they got their editions.

They had other things to do after this.

Some had to go to school, and others had to go to work.

Uda looked at the time and saw that he still had some time before he had to go to work.

So, he immediately searched for the other works from the Fuji Jump.

After a while, he had another two booklets in his hands.

The third volume of the [Hataraku Maou-sama] manga and the weekly edition of the [SAO] novel were secured!

Uda could not help but smile joyfully as he saw his findings.

He would have good stuff to read for the next few days!

He was admiring the books when he heard one of the clerks arriving beside him.

"Sir, I noticed you got works from the Fuji Jump, right?" A girl asked with a professional smile.

Uda looked at her name tag and it said [Karen].

"Yes, Karen-san." He replied with another smile.

Uda's life motto was to always be kind, so he practiced that daily.

Even more, because he knew how difficult was to attend to the public at work.

"The Fuji Jump has just released a new light novel. Are you interested in seeing it?" She asked.

Uda was a little surprised.

'Another work? I may as well see it. After all, the three books I read from them are great.' He thought.

"Please, can you show it to me?" He asked with a warm smile.

"Follow me, please." Karen replied with a genuine smile this time.

She loved when the clients were educated.

There were some people so disrespectful!

Shortly after, they arrived on a shelf filled with the same novel.

There were not as many copies as the [Naruto] manga had.

Uda picked up one copy curiously and looked at the cover.

On the cover, there was a beautiful and lustrous tree that seemed to be magical.

Several stars could be seen around the tree.

Uda was intrigued and flipped the book to read the synopsis.

When he finished reading, he had unusual shining eyes.

He wanted to read it as soon as possible!

Would this light novel be as good as the synopsis portrayed?
