This is the world of Hara, a young Japanese writer who works in a café bookstore in the Shimokita neighborhood of Tokyo.
Hara is a girl with a Yippie spirit, whose motto is "being happy is the true rebellion."
"Working surrounded by the scent of books and coffee has led her to discover a new way of writing. The result is a simple, fast, dreamlike, and modern read that contains a world waiting to be discovered."
— The Asahi Shimbun
