Am/pm has introduced a manga rental service at one of its stores in Chiba on a trial basis. The scheme will run until the end of March at which point the company will decide whether to roll the concept out nationwide. Other companies offer a similar service but this is the first time a convenience store has attempted to do so. It costs 90 yen to take out one comic for a night and the Ichikawa branch has around 3,000 titles in stock.
