*"Days at the Morisaki Bookshop"* by Satoshi Yagisawa is a deeply touching novel set in the heart of Tokyo’s Jimbocho district, a place where the streets are lined with countless secondhand bookshops, each holding a world of stories within their worn pages.

The novel follows Takako, a young woman whose life has been shattered by heartbreak and a sense of aimlessness. She’s lost, struggling to find meaning in a world that suddenly feels cold and uninviting. In the midst of her despair, her uncle Satoru offers her a lifeline: a place to stay at his humble, slightly dusty, yet incredibly warm bookshop, Morisaki.

Reluctant and emotionally numb, Takako accepts, thinking of it as just a temporary escape. But as the days turn into weeks, the quiet charm of Morisaki begins to work its magic. The smell of old books, the gentle hum of the shop, and the steady rhythm of its regular customers start to seep into her soul. Slowly, the weight on her heart begins to lift.

In the comforting embrace of the bookshop, Takako starts to rediscover parts of herself she thought were lost forever. The stories within the books she reads mirror her own journey, and she begins to find solace in the written word. The simplicity of life at Morisaki, coupled with the warmth of her uncle’s presence and the small but meaningful connections she forms with others, helps her heal.

"Days at the Morisaki Bookshop" is more than just a story of personal renewal. It’s a poignant reminder of the quiet, healing power of books, the importance of community, and the way small, everyday moments can slowly stitch a broken heart back together. It’s a story that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever found refuge in a book or a place that feels like home.

I love love LOVE “Call Me By Your Name” jegulus, dont get me wrong. Especially if you want to stay with how the movie/book ends, with Oliver/James leaving and getting married in the spring, but….. what about cmbyn moonwater au? I mean, it would be absolutely perfect! Academic rivals to lovers, with Regulus getting jealous that his father is never giving him attention and only focusing on Remus, the attractive, mysterious mentee his father is letting stay at their house. While Remus is annoyed because his mentors son is infuriatingly attractive and smart who plays the guitar and the piano. Could end either with cannon or happy ending, but i give you CMBYN Moonwater au!!!!

Of lost chances, forbidden love and remorse.

It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
