Breaking Away from Number 7: Anbo, a 30-Year-Old Designer, Aims for a Manga Award

Clever strategies for bulk buying online are revealed.

Nemoto explains how he targets big sales like Amazon Prime Day to stock up on consumables like detergent and tea for several months. On the other hand, Anbo rarely uses online shopping, highlighting the differences in their lifestyles. Anbo is clearly impressed by Nemoto's wisdom in using a specific service to circulate unwanted books and games while disposing of the large amounts of cardboard boxes that arrive.
