As a reccomendation, this would be a great series for someone entering manga and learning more about Japanese society. The MC is inquisitive by nature and the best chapters help lay bare the part of Japanese people where needs are implied, intentions are hidden, and personal responsibility is put above asking for help (even though this series is about customer service in a library). Each episode focuses on the patrons of the library and how taxing it is to be an UNDERFUNDED public institution with a clientele that consists almost exclusively of children, the elderly, and students. The MC's friends, the library staff, and the patrons all have flaws and desires that keep them tied to the library's knowledge, and I think the author does a great job of taking their time to explain each character.

The artstyle feels influenced by chainsaw man, not only because the MC is a blond, brash, high schooler with shark teeth. What I mean to say, is the artist puts great detail in differentiating characters and emoting both through faces and movements.
