Checkout Surprise

Going to the grocery store remains my oft-only outing of the week beyond travelling to work. An occasional variation on that is to go to an older grocery store where there isn’t as much room in the aisles (although it was left standing after the small shopping mall at the nearest major intersection to me was torn down, with much of the land opened by that now filled by a multi-floor self-storage facility). One day I was preparing to check out from those unusual surroundings when, in a passing glance at the magazine racks at the checkout aisle, all of a sudden I was looking at a cover with a number of anime characters on it, explained as a guide to manga (in big letters) and anime (in small letters).
( I’ll admit my reactions were jumbled... )
