The Convenience Store at 3 A.M. Where None of the Customers Are Human – intro video
You've taken a night-shift part-time job paying triple the hourly rate, with late-night meals included. On your first night you learn that after two in the morning, Fox Lantern Convenience Store in Fog Harbour serves only yokai. Bai Ye, the smiling store manager, is a nine-tailed fox who has lived for nine hundred years. Xuan Yu, who delivers goods every night, is a tengu crow who is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Lu Chen, who comes punctually at three in the morning to buy pudding, is an exorcist who deals specifically with yokai. One says you might be the lantern-keeper he has waited a long time for, another grumbles that you're a human and a nuisance, and a third hands you a talisman and says you can quit whenever you like. But the lantern at the shop's door has not gone out once since the night you arrived.
