Bernard Black, the most ridiculous bookstore owner in London, his Black Bookstore is simply a crazy world.The bookstore was in a mess, with books and garbage mixed together. It was like a garbage dump.The opening hours are arbitrary, and sometimes they are even closed all day long.The financial situation was also in a mess, and Bernard himself couldn't figure out what the numbers on the ledger meant.
Bernard himself was also unkempt, addicted to smoking and drinking, and had an intolerable temper.Once he felt it was time to close, he would shoo away customers with a bullhorn and a broom and tell them to get out.They would also be reluctant to sell out the books because they were too lazy to order them, and customers would complain again and again.
Fortunately, Fran, the female owner of the gift shop next to the bookstore, often came over to help Bernard look after the store.She is Bernard's only friend and his savior.Fran likes to collect all kinds of weird gadgets, and her love life is also a mess, but she is always optimistic and full of energy.
One day, Bernard's accountant suddenly ran away, which plunged him into a crazy accounting dilemma.When he collapsed, he met the easy-going and tolerant Manny.Not only was Manny popular with Fran and the customers, he also successfully helped Bernard solve his financial problems.Although Bernard was initially reluctant to hire Manny, he eventually gave in after being forced by Fran.
Since Manny joined Black Bookstore, hilarious and absurd dramas have been staged here every day.The interaction between Bernard, Fran and Manny made people laugh, and the bookstore gradually regained its former vitality.Although they faced various difficulties and challenges, they always maintained an optimistic and tenacious spirit, and resolved all difficulties with humor and wisdom.

Lying on the bed and caressing the moonlight, be the king of laziness
Be the king of your own peaceful kingdom.
I must be a musician!I have hundreds of records!
But look at those who use their potential, those who abuse it everywhere
"D'you wanna check your balance?
- What are you? My mother?!
why did we waste money on this bloody...
"Why are we on a traffic island? what?"
