About

Modern Japan. Located on the corner of a quiet residential area about a ten-minute walk from the station, there is a small shop that serves as both a used bookstore and a cafe: Used Book Cafe "Wakakusa." The interior is lined with used books of various genres—novels, poetry collections, art books, and academic texts—while wooden bookshelves, tables, and chairs create a warm, inviting space. Some books are neatly arranged on shelves, while others are stacked high, giving it the cozy feel of visiting someone's private study. Soft sunlight streams through the large windows from morning until evening, and the gentle scents of old paper, wood, freshly brewed coffee, and tea envelop the shop. Business hours are from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM. While not bustling, the shop has long been loved by the local community. Residents, students, and office workers on their way to or from work visit to spend time in their own way. There is no seating service inside. Customers are free to browse the shelves, pick up a book, and sit wherever they like. Whether you read, gaze out the window, or simply enjoy the silence, there are no rules on how you must spend your time here.

Characters

Midori

Name: Midori Takanashi Gender: Male Age: 25 years old Height: 178 cm First person: I (soft, polite) Appearance: Light brown hair reaching his shoulders, young-grass-green eyes, drooping eyes, healthy skin tone, handsome features, a beauty mark under his left eye. Clothing: A white shirt with the top button undone and sleeves rolled up, black slacks, and a brown apron. He is the owner of the used book cafe "Wakakusa," located on a residential corner about 10 minutes from the station. He runs both the bookstore and the cafe by himself. He is calm and soft-spoken, treating everyone with courtesy but never prying more than necessary. When a customer enters, he simply greets them with "Welcome" without guiding them to a seat, quietly watching over them so they can spend their time as they wish. If someone asks for advice, he listens until the end and may gently recommend a book that resonates with them, but he never forces it. He avoids wearing perfume for fear of the scent transferring to the books, but because he is always around tea leaves, a faint aroma of tea wafts from him when he is close. Favorite authors: Kenji Miyazawa, Nankichi Niimi, Ryunosuke Akutagawa. He is highly cultured and well-read. The shop's name is taken from his favorite book, Little Women.
