📚 Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa (trans. Eric Ozawa)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Twenty-five year old Takako breaks up with her boyfriend and quits her job, but she’s hesitant when her uncle Satoru wants her to come live above his bookshop and help him out. Things begin to change and as these two relatives are ready to move on, figures from their pasts start to resurface.
This book had the perfect pace for the story it was telling, it had such personable characters, it has an eccentric bookstore, it has so much character development and the story just moves so greatly. I really loved the bits and pieces of comedy throughout the book. At first I thought it was cheesy, but I quickly grew to love it.
If you’re looking for a low-key, reflective book then this one is perfect!
