There’s something about the way that contemporary Japanese authors write that fills up your heart with warmth and joy. They romanticise the joy of living life peacefully, without any rush or fear and celebrate the little moments of life. That is true for Satoshi Yagisawa too. The story is so simple yet it leaves behind a deep impression. Each of us in our lives must have come across a point when circumstances must have overwhelmed us and we all wanted a place just to be us, in peace and quiet. The story is just about that. It is also about meeting people of different ages and finding friendship among them. It is also about revisiting old relations and discovering them anew. It is also about love for books. It is about taking walks with your friends, visiting a coffee shop to meet old friends and finding new friends, reading and recommending books and above all to discover life in a different way.
