The stories stuck with me and I love how each traversed me into its charming and enthralling exploration on one’s loneliness, grief, affection and longing; so comfortingly wise, neat and totally heartwarming. Divided into 5 tales each woven to one stationery item (same plot structure like the previous book) in the backdrop of Shihodo Stationery, I followed 5 narrators in their vignette of quietness and interactions with Ken Takarada; the thoughtful shop owner who goes in between recommending a stationery to listening deeply and sincerely to his customers’ concern and emotional needs.\n\nI fairly love all of the stories esp the Scissors chapter which highlighted on a school bullying theme and a new found friendship in between Haruna and Mihashi after both went to Shihodo for a job-shadow assignment. The tale has a thrilling discussion on stationery items that are easy to use by everyone that I could relate to Haruna’s concern in using the ‘normal’ scissors which not easily usable by a left-handed person. \n\nBoth Flash Card Deck and Business Cards having a gripping familial and career related plots with uplifting endings that touched me and I love how Colored Pencils observed on racism while exploring a heartfelt connection in between a grandson and his grandfather. Getting a peek to Ryoko’s POV in Bookmark with her walking down on memory lane premise of her relationship with Ken and how their friendship started; sentimental and quite lovely but I wish I could dig more on Ken’s soul about Ryoko!\n\nA cozy plot, bit slowburn and reflective overall. Totally love the idea of how an object could hold such memorable meaning and becomes like a tool to connect people in between their past and present.\n\n**Thank you Pansing Distribution for the gifted copy!",4,"none","rv-01kr80zvpt92qv4sjs53g6vds5",[],"2026-05-10T04:05:40.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":68,"per_page":69,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":15},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01knszdm30eq8ypy9qjabr43gg\u002Freviews",20]
