Tokiya is a high school student who're working as a part-timer at Tsukumodo Antique Shop (FAKE) as shop assistant together with Saki, a girl who always wears black. The shop is selling Relic, mysterious objects that has some kind of power. Why FAKE? Because they're suppose to be selling the imitation of the Relic, not the real one but the owner, Towako, who're so obsess with Relics, sometimes purchase real Relics, which later create problems.
This volume consist of 3 short stories surrounding 3 different Relics & the problems they created. The writing was kinda confusing because some of the dialogue are presented one after another without indication who're saying what. You need to pay extra attention who're the first speaker is. After getting over that hurdle, reading becomes enjoyable. I was hoping for an overarching story for the series but it felt more episodic.
I'm giving the extra 0.5 🌟 for the last story. It's so adorable 😋
