The Mainstreaming Of Counterculture

When one stops off at a major chain bookstore on the way home and buys a couple of volumes of Slayers manga, it is a novel experience for the sales assistant to exclaim:

We're stocking Slayers now? That's so cool! I used to read Jump when I lived in Japan.

(Jump is the weekly magazine in which the Slayers manga originally appeared.)

I forgot my 20% discount coupon, though. Darn.
