Product Details
Overview
The internationally bestselling author of the beloved Morisaki Bookshop series welcomes us back to the Torunka Café, down a narrow side street in the Tokyo neighborhood of Yakata, run by its stern-seeming owner, Tachibana, and his teenage daughter Shizuku.
Stopping in for a cup of coffee or a sweet treat at the Torunka Café, locals and tourists from all stages and walks of life experience interactions and small miracles that unexpectedly offer joy and connection.
A little old lady named Chiyoko Obāchan sits alone in a corner with her balls of yarn and knitting needles. One day, hearing a Chopin melody playing in the café she is reminded of the days of her lost youth, when she fell in love for the first time.
Shizuku’s childhood friend Kōta is fiercely protective and believes he’s responsible for keep her safe. But as he confronts the limits of his own strength, he finds help in a surprising place when a film crew arrives at the café’s door.
Ayako, a quotation-loving illustrator, is at a crossroads, feeling burned out by her career yet not knowing what direction to take next. Then, a chance encounter with an old friend changes everything.
Charming and delightfully heartwarming, More Days at the Torunka Café is a delicious and satisfying slice of life in all its flavor. Wise and endearing, it reminds us that all our lives are threads in the beautiful and wondrous tapestry of humanity.
