Pretty entertaining supernatural story, with some good side characters.
The story follows Hibiki, an introverted bookworm, who discovers a mysterious bookshop and it’s owner, Reiji, who enlists her as his (temporary) disciple. Through this, she learns about the supernatural, friendships, happiness and most importantly, about herself.
I would say this is a great first or second novel as everything was pretty straightforward and mostly consisted of dialogue. There are a few explanations of the ghosts that may throw a beginner off, but overall a lot of the same vocabulary is used throughout the book.
The characters were all surprisingly enjoyable, and at times, quite funny, especially Chi-chan. The story was half decent for a children’s book as it has some dark themes and also an interesting back story reveal at the end. Would recomend if you want some easy reading!
