Nietzsche-sensei – Konbini ni, Satori Sedai no Shinjin ga Maiorita

In this comedic manga, a late-night convenience store employee named Matsukoma finds himself mentoring an unusual new hire—Tomoharu Nii, a university student studying Buddhism who earns the nickname Nietzsche-sensei. When confronted by an irate customer shouting the classic retail mantra, “Customers are gods!” Tomoharu casually responds with Nietzsche’s famous declaration, “God is dead.” The story humorously explores their daily interactions at the store, where Tomoharu’s eccentric behavior constantly leaves both customers and colleagues bewildered. Matsukoma navigates the chaos of training this philosophical oddball while juggling the unpredictable demands of part-time work. Their dynamic creates a series of absurd yet relatable workplace moments, blending deadpan humor with existential musings. The manga cleverly contrasts mundane convenience store routines with Tomoharu’s unconventional worldview, resulting in laugh-out-loud scenarios. From bizarre customer encounters to awkward employee interactions, every shift becomes an unpredictable adventure. Through witty dialogue and quirky characterizations, the series offers a fresh take on service industry struggles. Tomoharu’s unshakable calm amidst retail madness makes him an unforgettable protagonist, while Matsukoma’s exasperated reactions ground the comedy in reality. This unlikely duo proves that even the most ordinary jobs can become extraordinary when philosophy meets fluorescent-lit aisles.
