"Mr. Talerget’s Dream Shop" is a Japanese bestseller that will delight fans of kind and touching stories. The book was adapted into a film in Japan, and in China, where Jackie Chan played the shop owner’s role. The novel also served as the basis for stage productions in Japan.
The plot follows three friends—Kohé, Atsuya, and Shōta—who hide in an abandoned little shop after committing a crime. They discover that people continue to come to this forgotten corner of the world, leaving mysterious letters through the mail slot. Each letter contains either a request for help regarding something that torments the writer—or a heartfelt confession. As the heroes read the stories of strangers sending messages through time and space, they begin to investigate this magical shop, not suspecting the incredible wonders they are about to experience.
