Description
“A flower in the reflection, the moon upon the surface of the water”—this is what they call what the eye can see, but what you cannot hold in your hands. What matters, yet slips beyond words.
In one of Tokyo’s back alleys, a small restaurant hides a magical pawnshop entrance—one that only a few are granted. People come there when they have reached despair and dream of rewriting their own lives. There is only one rule: you only have to pledge… your choice. That very moment from the past that turned fate.
Hana, who inherits the family business, discovers devastation and her father’s disappearance on her first day at work. Soon, the pawned choices will be claimed by Shiikuin—the keepers of what is predetermined—but one pledge has vanished without a trace! And to make matters worse, a new visitor appears on the doorstep. Only this charming stranger is different from the others: he doesn’t ask for rescue—he offers it.
They will set out on a journey through a world of wonders: walking through puddles as if they were paths, flying on paper cranes, crossing the bridge between midnight and dawn, and searching for a night market among the clouds… But will Hana be able to get back what was lost, when she has only two days, not a single lead—and a feeling of warmth she has never known before?
A bestseller from the first days of release sales and an Editors’ Choice pick on Amazon!
A captivating story with elements of healing (hilling) set against the backdrop of modern Japan.
A magical plot whose atmosphere is reminiscent of Studio Ghibli cartoons and Erin Morgenstern’s novels.
