The Coffee-Scented Bookshop

In the Tokyo district of Jimbocho, amid the scent of yellowing pages and fresh paint, an unusual bookshop-coffeehouse is hidden away. Here, volumes seem to choose their readers on their own, and a mysterious owner named Amon offers a strange exchange: coffee for a story.

For Tsukasa Natori, everything is falling apart: his career has been cut short before it could even begin, and ahead lies nothing but the unknown. A chance brings him to this shop, and unexpectedly, Amon takes Tsukasa on as an assistant. Soon, he makes a frightening discovery: the book in which his own life is supposed to be recorded is completely blank. But as he listens to the stories of people who find themselves at a crossroads, something incredible happens—his fate shifts off a dead center, and the empty pages start to fill in.

Will Tsukasa manage to understand where he should go next? And what secrets does the impeccable owner keep behind his politeness and flawless smile?
