The Customer Who Sits Next to Me (隣のクライアント) is Chapter 20 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
In a marine language class, a hen named Legom sits next to Legoshi in said class due to alphabetical order. Although they are not closely acquainted, every Wednesday during recess, Legoshi eats an egg sandwich made from eggs which are laid by Legom and sold in the school shop. According to Legoshi these eggs are the best. Legom's eggs are very popular at school, which makes Legom feel proud of her work. She begins to take it more seriously, setting rules of exercises and refusing to stay up late.

Several days later, Legom discovers that Legoshi is not eating an egg sandwich as he usually does every Wednesday. Legoshi mentions that it is because they taste "different", which is a wake-up call for Legom. Depressed and without knowing the cause for the drop in the quality of her eggs, Legom talks to her friend who encourage her to continue with her part-time job, which makes Legom take her work more calmly.

When Legom goes to sell her eggs at the school shop, the vendor reveals that she started selling them on Fridays because it is their busiest day and her eggs are very popular. Two weeks later, Legom waits for Legoshi to notice that her eggs are now sold on Fridays.
