by Yuki Tanaka
A grieving bookbinder and a botanist fall in love across the pages they restore.
In a quiet Kyoto workshop, Hana mends books no one else will touch. When a botanist brings her a water-damaged journal of pressed flowers, the two begin a slow correspondence in the margins — and discover that some things, once broken, are worth remaking.
A tender, hopeful romance about repair, patience, and second chances.
