Jag älskar den specifika genren med mysig japansk fiction, det är verkligen något speciellt med dessa böcker. Den här utspelar sig i en mataffär i Japan vid kusten (som titeln säger hehe) och vi lär känna kunderna och personalen för affären och hur de alla vävs samman. Jag älskar karaktärerna och gemenskapen, det känns så varmt och välkomnande att bo där, de är trevliga och de är allmänt fullt av små lyckopiller i vardagen. En hjärtevärmande historia om hur viktig affären är för dessa karaktärer.

Tbh I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this up. Here we have a cute story about a convenience store and its workers who let us have a look into their lives. We accompany some side characters whose fates are all mysteriously connected to the convenience store and its philosophy of treating every costumer with love and kindness. 

It's a cute story, which picks up some struggles different people are facing and how they are resolved in a butterfly-effect/'everyone is always connected'-theory type of way. Definitely a cozy and wholesome read, but nothing life-changing :)

I really liked this novel. At first, I wasn’t sure where this was going, but the further i read and the more everything connected the better it got.

I believe its a nice reminder that the little things in life have the power to change us. Its really cute

gillthequill's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

Frankly, I could not get very far into this work (I barely reached 50 pages) because of how "anime" it felt. As I read, it seemed like the characters were all so larger than life, all so wacky and zany, that it was begging for an anime adapatation down the line. This measure of unreality soured the work for me, along with its glacial pace. There are better, more grounded offerings in the healing fiction/cozy fiction genre.
