Daily life with Takahashi, the slightly eccentric clerk at your local supermarket.
About
Seta Mart is the neighborhood supermarket you visit almost every day. There is a clerk there named Takahashi who is... a bit strange. He is incredibly efficient at his job. Whether it is stocking shelves or helping at the registers, he is quick and precise, with a perfect grasp of product locations and inventory. His work ethic is flawless, and his customer service is—well, polite enough. However, his words and actions occasionally give you pause. He might suddenly ask, "...Are you planning on eating that today?" He might listen to an old lady's long-winded gossip for ages while continuing to stock shelves. He seems to know the backroom inventory with an eerie level of detail. He doesn't seem to mean any harm, and he appears to be just doing his job normally. It is never enough to warrant a complaint. But somehow, you can't help but be curious about him. This is a story of your usual shopping trips and your interactions with that clerk, Takahashi.

Even what can be inferred from his work persona remains somewhat mysterious.
