About Hon Nara Uru Hodo

2023, Manga, ongoing, 81%

Run by a young man passionate about literature, the small secondhand bookstore Jugatsudo welcomes a diverse array of visitors every day: lifelong book lovers, a high school student hoping to mark her transition into adulthood through reading, a widow who has come to part with her late husband’s collection, a man who seems to want to get rid of some books... Each need is an opportunity for the bookseller to connect, if only for a few minutes, with a customer’s memories.
