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!
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
Water Moon?! That one was trippy and awesome!
Oh yes! I've read that one as well. Not sure why I missed it.
