Summary
Satoshi Yagisawa: Return to Morisaki Bookstore
The continuation of the charming bestseller that conquered the whole world Tokyo. Days pass peacefully in Đimboć, a unique district of bookstores. Away from the traffic noise, people walk in its alleys and curiously browse hundreds of books, comics, brochures and even maps. Morisaki bookstore, which has been run by the same family for three generations, barely has room for five people. Stacks of books crowd the shelves and conquer every corner of the floor, and as soon as the bell above the door announces the arrival of a customer, its owner Satoru immediately peeks behind the counter. Recently, his wife Momoko has been helping him, and besides the married couple, Takako is also a regular guest, who will take care of the bookstore after the uncle and aunt go on a romantic trip. When she re-immerses herself in the timeless atmosphere of Đimboć, with its colorful mosaic of regular customers, Takako will feel the zest for life that she was missing. For the first time in a long time, she feels a thrill as she discovers that the bookstore is home to stories—not just the ones hidden between the book covers, but also the stories of its patrons. And those stories create connections. In this charming and emotionally powerful sequel to the world bestseller Days at the Morisaki Bookstore, Satoshi Yagisawa presents a moving portrait of life, love and the importance that books and bookstores have for those who love them.
