The job is off earlier than I expect to ride the Chuo line train at 4:30 in the afternoon. In more half an hour the platform and trains will be crowded with people to go home. I feel a little at a loss and uneasy owing to the many of empty seats.

Book Off is a big chain store of second hand books. They decide the selling price as half as new book firstly. If the book are bought in a month, they discount it to only 105 yen( five yen is for consumption task). Their valuation is not with scarcity, but wtih beautiful appearance. They never buy old and dirty books.
The success of this chain store, they say, has occurred the degrease of the number of new publishing books.
