More Days At The Morisaki Bookshop
We accept
NOMINATED FOR AMAZON POPULAR CHOICE BOOK AWARD, 2025 In Tokyo, there is a neighbourhood with the highest number of bookstores in the world. It is called Jinbocho where book lovers can browse to their heart's delight and where hunters of first editions or autographed copies prowl the bookcases. The Morisaki bookshop, a small family-run shop, is so packed with books that barely five people can fit inside. Books crowd the shelves and invade every corner of the floor; when a customer arrives, the owner, Satoru, immediately pops out from behind the counter. Recently, his wife Momoko has joined him, and often, in her free time after work, their niece Takako also helps out. For the first time, the girl does not feel lonely; she has new friends and new rituals to keep her company: the annual Jinbocho festival, the café around the corner, or an unexpected visitor. Because, as she has discovered, a bookstore is populated not by the characters contained in the books, but also by those who frequent it. And those stories create bonds. As a sign of gratitude, Takako gives her aunt and uncle a trip, promising to look after the shop while they are away. Everything seems to be going swimmingly, but then why is Satoru behaving so strangely? And what does that woman with the red umbrella want who has appeared at the end of the street? How many other stories, emotions, and treasures does the Morisaki bookshop hold?

The drama in the book is nothing to write home about. There is unnecessary hype around the book
The story represents simple life. Nothing extraordinary, something that you can easily relate to in your personal life.
Challenges, love, death, happiness and depression. And at the end of it- life still goes on and you learn to enjoy it anyway :)
This book is the sequel to Days at Morisaki Bookshop. The story follows up seamlessly, giving the life update of Takako, Satoru, and the bookshop. I really loved the first book, and this second book didn't live up to my expectations; however, I enjoyed and rooted for every character. Moreover, a few new characters were there, and the characters were beautifully developed along with the world buildup. At some parts, the translation felt a bit off. However, the author's writing draws the readers. I laughed, I cried, and I had mixed emotions towards the ending.
This book highlights the importance of life, family, healing, and definitely about book lovers. Overall, it's a poignant, heartwarming read.
The great thing about this book is the candid writing style. I loved how engaging it was. Narrative is simple.
Life at the beloved bookshop in Jimbocho continues in its familiar, cozy rhythm, and Takako finds herself increasingly at home with the love and warmth she discovers there. The story introduces a mix of new and familiar characters, enriching the narrative and making it an engaging read. As Takako and her uncle Satoru navigate some emotional moments, their bond deepens, highlighting the significance of the Morisaki Bookshop in their lives
