Hinako Sakuragi has always struggled to express herself, growing up in the quiet countryside of Japan where words never came easily to her. Determined to change that, she makes the bold decision to move to Tokyo for high school, hoping that joining a theater club will help her find her voice and connect with others in ways she never could before. Starting over in a bustling metropolis is daunting enough on its own, but Hinako's new chapter takes an unexpected turn the moment she arrives at her arranged boarding house — which turns out to be a charming secondhand bookstore. Even more surprising is the peculiar girl she discovers living there, one who has a most unusual relationship with books that goes far beyond simply reading them. Two very different worlds are about to collide under one roof.
