In this charming and emotionally resonant follow up to the internationally bestselling Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, Satoshi Yagisawa paints a poignant and thoughtful portrait of life, love, and how much books and bookstores mean to the people who love them.Set again in the beloved Japanese bookshop and nearby coffee shop in the Jimbochi neighborhood of Toyko, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop deepens the relationship between Takako, her uncle Satoru , and the people in their lives. A new cast of heartwarming regulars have appeared in the shop, including an old man who wears the same ragged mouse-colored sweater and another who collects books solely for the official stamps with the author’s personal seal.Satoshi Yagisawa illuminates the everyday relationships between people that are forged and grown through a shared love of books. Characters leave and return, fall in and out of love, and some eventually die. As time passes, Satoru, with Takako’s help, must choose whether to keep the bookshop open or shutter its doors forever. Making the decision will take uncle and niece on an emotional journey back to their family’s roots and remind them again what a bookstore can mean to an individual, a neighborhood, and a whole culture.

JustineRezension von Justine

I was already caught off guard by the first book - I had expected a cozy little read, a window into the day to day life of a Japanese woman with her daily little struggles and not much else, but got schooled pretty quickly by the surprising amount of depth contained in less than 200 pages. It was the same with this book. I had picked it up because I remember liking the first one but didn’t have many expectations, I would have been content with a little “where are they now” story, but Yagisawa proved me wrong yet again. The book market right now is so oversatured with romance plots that rely on the often badly executed miscommunication trope, but he took it, tore it up, stepped on it, spat on it and slam dunked it into the trash. Seeing healthy communication between Takako and Wada, Momoko and Satoru in a book was so refreshing and reminded me that good romance in books can still be possible. Just like the first volume, this book feels like a hug and I was sad to have finished it. I hope that there will be a third book one day, I trust that the author could pull it off again.

The sequel dives a bit deeper into the characters that we know from the first book. Its nice to get to know them better, yet I missed the connection to world of books a bit. I still enjoyed th

Das Sequel zu "Days at the Morisaki Bookshop", "More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop" startet sehr, sehr langsam. Bei knapp über 160 Seiten habe ich gedacht, dass es schnell zum Kern oder zum übergreifenden Thema kommen würde. Stattdessen verbringen wir die ersten 13 Kapitel sehr gemütlich mit einigen "Slice of Life" Moment und keiner genauen Struktur. Die letzten Kapitel treffen jedoch sehr stark in schwarze und am Ende verlässt dich Morisaki's Bookshop mit einem guten Gefühl. Leider muss ich sagen, dass mich das zweite Buch nicht so sehr abgeholt hat, wie sein Vorgänger. Daher auch nur die 3 Sterne, es war okay, aber auch nicht mehr als das. Nichtsdestotrotz muss ich sagen, dass ich mich auf das dritte Buch freue, allein um zu erfahren was aus den Figuren, die ich kennenlernen durfte, geworden ist.
