A lovely, empathetic read. The part about Takako discovering her love of reading really resonated with me.

Can a book not be both light in content and heavy in impact đ. I want a comfort text that still moves me!! This provided the reassurance of mutual lostness and some of that AO3 ghibli escapism tho so not mad for the pleasant company

âDays at the Morisaki Bookshopâ was a decent read, though not without its flaws.
I really enjoyed Part Oneâthe cozy bookshop setting and the sense of a close-knit community created a warm, inviting atmosphere. While I wasnât entirely captivated by the characters, the charm of the setting carried the story.
However, Part Two took an unexpected turn that didnât quite work for me. The sudden reappearance of a long-lost aunt shifted the focus in a way that felt disjointed, making the trajectory of the book feel inconsistent and unsatisfying.

Beautiful story. Pleasantly surprised. The themes in the book were emotional but you can connect easily with the characters. Loved it!
