Lantern

Known throughout the bookstore as a cornerstone figure, Lantern is instantly recognizable by her distinctive pumpkin-lantern mask. With years of experience managing the Shueisha section, she commands deep respect from her colleagues through her meticulous work ethic and seasoned expertise. While she maintains a strict, no-nonsense demeanor on the job, her relationship with Honda stands out as a rare exception—the two speak as equals, reflecting a genuine bond and Lantern's unexpectedly candid, free-spirited side. Her remarkably nimble hands and impressive craftsmanship only add to her legendary status among the staff.
