WELCOME TO THE FRIDAY BOOKSHOP, a cozy little bookstore tucked inside a rustic train station north of Tokyo. Rumor has it, you’ll find the perfect book there-one that you need at that particular moment, even if you don’t know it yourself. . .
When college student Fumiya visits The Friday Bookshop in a last-ditch effort to find a book for his ill father, he is disappointed by its ordinary appearance despite whispers of its peculiar charm. But soon he discovers that it not only includes a cafe where the food menu changes daily on the chef’s whim but also a vast underground vault lined with bookshelves, that has been lovingly converted from an old abandoned subway platform. The bookshop, run by a quirky trio who have been close friends since high school, quickly becomes Fumiya’s favourite place-he begins to work there part-time.
Fumiya, who was never really a reader, learns to embrace the joy of reading, and that books can be a means to connect with other people and navigate the twists and turns of life.
Through colourful interactions with the zany shop owners and their visitors, as well as mouthwatering dishes inspired by the books the owners recommend, it’s impossible not to fall in love with the seemingly ordinary yet enchanting little bookstore in the subway station in Kanto.
