Does the Kiki's Delivery Service novel take place in Japan? I know the animated film takes place in a fictional location in Europe.
Good point. I added it though because if you're anything like me you'll be visiting every Ghibli store you can find.
Great idea! I see a lot of Japanese cat literature on here so Iâll also recommend The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa!
I was going to add that but I DNFed it so didn't seem right to add đ
Haha thatâs so fair! Definitely many other Japanese cat books out there to read
Perfect timing. Iâm just starting to plan a trip to Japan. One book I would add and I want to take with me is Convenient Store Woman
I've not read that yet but I will for sure add, thanks!
Water Moon?! That one was trippy and awesome!
Oh yes! I've read that one as well. Not sure why I missed it.
