According to "Women's Wear Daily" reported that the sale of adult magazines or initiatives in recent years society, more and more voices opposed to convenience stores sell adult magazines in Japan related.

While convenience stores originated in the United States, but to bring convenience stores, a lot of people would first think of Japan. In the streets of Japan, especially in Tokyo, Osaka and other relatively prosperous city, almost every 10 meters distance you can find a convenience store.

Most Japanese also have a special affection for convenience stores, for many reasons, the most important of about two points. First, Japan's convenience stores in addition to a wide variety of merchandise, the store offers mostly free to use the bathroom, you can pay utility bills, buy tickets for concerts and other events, and even send and receive offers courier services. On the other hand, Japan's convenience stores are a 24-hour system, most of the Japanese said that regardless of the convenience store late at night or in the morning is always open, which is getting higher and higher single rate of Japanese society provides a lonely Japanese kind of spiritual sustenance. For some single women who go home late at night, if they are trailing, convenience store or a well was to avoid dangerous places.

In Japan, almost every convenience store will have their own books corner.　　But because of the convenience store and Japanese lives, in recent years a large number of convenience stores selling books and adult magazines in a corner of the store phenomenon caused a huge controversy, especially in women and children's parents, this can easily read the adult female magazine will bring a lot of negative impact on a child.

In Japan, almost every convenience store will have their own books corner. Besides the usual weekly, monthly, also placed a lot of novels and comics on the shelves, but also promising travel guides and manuals provided by foreign tourists. But almost every convenience store will first use a relatively large area to put adult magazines.

Especially in recent years, due to the popularity of the network, magazines, convenience stores mostly adult consumers are mostly concentrated in the 50.60-year-old middle-aged population, more open style magazine. Although marked 18 years of age is prohibited, but on the shelf adult magazine not be placed alone or isolated, that no matter what consumers are free to look in the store.

"Why convenience store will arrange a special corner selling adult magazine? Why not other bookstores, like isolation, but so that everyone can easily pick it?", "Convenience store during the day there will be children, girls to shop such books one can see, too much of it! "," would allow the existence of such counter Japan's strange! "posted on the network more and more similar remarks.

To MINISTOP as the beginning of other convenience stores in Japan probably will stop adult magazine store sales in the future　　Therefore, MINISTOP the move was announced, gained the majority of users of praise. And because more and more women are dissatisfied and the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, to MINISTOP as the beginning of other convenience stores in Japan and perhaps adult magazine store will stop in future sales. But as an important part of the convenience store revenue, sales of adult magazines and will not be abandoned, but the sales of the store into a home online sales.

But in fact, several years ago, Japan's convenience store offers digital magazines and books to purchase services. For example, on the order of 7-11 the official website of books and magazines, not more than 24 hours can choose among consumers of the 7-11 convenience store pickup, Rosen, the family also offer a similar service.

Books and magazines compared with the daily necessities of food, convenience stores belong to the customer consumption "second class goods", many of which are purchased by the way, even if many shelves are set in the corner takes up little space, but still convenient to shop increases the risk of remaining stock. In contrast, the use of Internet sales, consumers can receive the products they want at the convenience store directly without the need for extra convenience stores provide storage space, while sales will be virtually optimized to improve customer satisfaction.

The termination of the adult magazine sales, compared with the general magazine of books, although there is a certain degree of particularity. But if the Japanese convenience store business model as well as consumer demand point of view, perhaps the future of Japan from the corner convenience store books completely disappeared not far away.
