Jinbocho, TokioEl barrio de las librerías y de las editoriales, paraíso de los lectores. Un rincón tranquilo y ajeno al tiempo, a pocos pasos del metro y de grandes edificios modernos. Filas y filas de escaparates llenos de libros, nuevos o de segunda mano.Takako, con veinticinco años y una vida bastante descolorida, no suele frecuentar ese barrio. Sin embargo, es alli donde se encuentra con la libreria Morisaki, que ha pertenecido a su familia durante tres generaciones. Una tienda de apenas ocho tatamis en un antiguo edificio de madera, con una habitacion en la planta superior que se utiliza como almacen. Es el reino de Satoru, el excentrico tio de Takako, que, entusiasta y un poco trastornado, dedica su vida a los libros.Pero Takako es el polo opuesto de su tio; no ha salido de casa desde que el hombre del que estaba enamorada le dijo que queria casarse con otra. Es Satoru quien le lanza un salvavidas y le ofrece mudarse al primer piso de la libreria. Ella, que no es una gran lectora, se encuentra viviendo en medio de torres de libros que se desmoronan y de clientes que no dejan de hacerle preguntas y de citar a escritores desconocidos.Entre discusiones cada vez mas apasionantes sobre la literatura japonesa moderna, un encuentro en un cafe con un timido desconocido y unas revelaciones sobre la historia de amor de Satoru, Takako ira descubriendo poco a poco una forma de comunicarse y de relacionarse que parte de los libros para llegar al corazon.

Jinbch, Tokyo. Il quartiere delle librerie e delle case editrici, paradiso dei lettori. Un angolo tranquillo e fuori dal tempo, a pochi passi dalla metropolitana e dai grandi palazzi moderni. File e file di vetrine stipate all'inverosimile di libri, nuovi o di seconda mano. Non tutti lo conoscono, piu attratti da Ginza o dalle mille luci di Shibuya. Di sicuro Tatako venticinquenne dalla vita piuttosto incolore non lo frequenta assiduamente. Eppure e qui che si trova la libreria Morisaki, che appartiene alla sua famiglia da tre generazioni. Un negozio di appena otto tatami in un vecchio edificio di legno, con una stanza al piano superiore adibita a magazzino. È il regno di Satoru, l'eccentrico zio di Tatako. Entusiasta e un po' squinternato, dedica la sua vita ai libri e alla Morisaki, soprattutto da quando la moglie lo ha lasciato. L'opposto di Tatako, che non esce di casa da quando l'uomo di cui era innamorata le ha detto di voler sposare un'altra. È Satoru a lanciarle un'ancora di salvezza, offrendole di trasferirsi al primo piano della libreria. Proprio lei che non e certo una forte lettrice, si trova di colpo a vivere in mezzo a torri pericolanti di libri e minacciosi clienti che continuano a farle domande e a citarle scrittori ignoti. Tra discussioni sempre piu appassionate sulla letteratura moderna giapponese, un incontro in un caffe con un timido sconosciuto e rivelazioni sulla storia d'amore di Satoru, scoprira pian piano un modo di comunicare e di relazionarsi che parte dai libri per arrivare al cuore. Un modo di vivere piu intimo e autentico, senza paura del confronto e di lasciarsi andare.
