    Combini de Kimi to no 5 fun kan (5 Minutes With You at a Convenience Store).

    It’s a wonderful SoL/maybe-romance about a shy and earnest part-time convenience store clerk and a shy and earnest office lady who stops by most days on her way home. The chapters generally alternate - first recounting something from the POV of one of them, then recounting the same event from the other’s POV. They’re both adorable and it’s just so nice to watch the two of them slowly come to realize that there’s something special between them.

    I just stumbled across it the other day, browsing the latest updates at Mangadex. I read the most recent chapter (76), then went back and read the first chapter, then just kept going and read all the rest.

      Wow… this sounds eerily much like Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You. I’m enjoying that tremendously so maybe it would be worth having a look.

        And I’ve seen that one but haven’t actually read it, so I guess I’ll have to check it out.

        Another one in a similar vein is Utakata Dialogue.
