So, let's wait and see on a possible second anime series for Hataraki-Man.
I wonder is Tsutaya saw any boost in sales, too? In case you hadn't noticed, their product placement is EVERYWHERE in the show. Ads on billboards, commercials on the TV in the background, in the opening, in almost every single outside street scene... Them and that energy drink have crazy overboard product placement .

When I was in tokyo this winter I actually bought my map of Tokyo at a Tsutaya bookstore, so maybe it worked on me? (I still like kinokuniya the best 'cause they have a store in LA)
