If you're looking for a story structure and pacing that's found in anime films, this is it. It reads like one, it visually appears as one to the reader's eye and personally, served as fresh air in the stuffiness of big books.
It is well translated, which cannot be said for all Japanese lit available right now. A light and quick read for the weekend, so pick it up today. Hope it helps you breathe better, like it did with me. ✨

This book is like a special sentimental gift that reminds me again how much I love books.
Takako's passive character in the beginning was very similar to me, so it was easy to relate to her. I also really like her uncle! Can you imagine running a bookstore? Ugh, literally my childhood dream! All the characters are so so lovely! Some of the books mentioned made me very curious and interested in reading them. Overall, this was such a quick cozy book. I love it.

Lighthearted and relaxing to read. With there had bit a more plot development for MC’s love story alongside her life in the library and her family but overall sweet book that I would recommend to unwind and hit the feels in the end
