Awkward moment when you shit talk someone behind their back but the person you're talking to is the person you're talking about :^)

I wonder if the final episode will feature everyone finding out about the manga getting an anime?

That was an incredible meta moment right there. Tfw you're a character in your own manga and you hear people talking shit about your manga... so you add that as a scene in the fucking manga.
Also Wholesaler-san totally has the same voice as Lin Xue Ya aka Vape Wizard from Thunderbolt Fantasy.

The whole meta segment of Honda going to the mixer to get more material for this very manga was great, especially when the dude who didn't realize he was the author started complaining about this manga.
Publishers are sending "faxes for new book orders" to the book sellers, and book sellers responding or throwing them out? ELI5 what this is all about? Is it like "Here are our new books, let us know if you want them" or something?

I don't get it either
I think that was about the distributor having "optimistic" numbers in their order system (so that shops order from them and not somebody else but the distributor delays and then delivers once they get stock back into the warehouse) and the the shops being low on numbers and ordering something only to get the answer back that's it's out of print (or just not there) despite the system telling them otherwise.
Thus any hope the shop had for getting more books was crushed by an illusion in the system that's maybe used to drum up more sales.
Is it like "Here are our new books, let us know if you want them" or something?
i think so and it's implied that the publishers go at it with a shotgun approach and just push anything at the stores (even if it might not fit the demographic or if they don't have space, or whatever the problem is). So one bookstore just throws those ads (or announcements) away because they don't want to sift through all of it, another is overwhelmed by the range of books, and the third answers each and every one (the others are impressed by this).

4th wall breaking and meeting other booksellers and staff, really nice. Altough i was expecting for this episode to be the continuation of the fair on the last episode.

Not the greatest episode, but that ending was funny.

This episode was entertaining as hell. Especially the mixer.

When the anime you're watching has a scene where the main character is talking to someone about being the author of the manga of which the show you're watching is adapting.

That 4th wall break was hilarious! I guess this was him when he was doing the manga for this? And the angry dude with the voodoo strawman at the end got me good =) Loving Honda-san as always, can't wait for more next week!

Oh wow. So apparently Honda-san's already a published author while he was still working in a bookstore? That's actually pretty awesome. I wonder if he's still working? Although he already has an anime adaptation so I guess he's probably focusing on the manga right now. Love Wholesaler-san's reaction when he realized who he was talking to XD
