…………
In Kamakura, there is a stationery store that does ghostwriting. Every generation of the store owner is a woman, and they will accept any commission, even if it's for a restaurant menu.
Before she knew it, Amamiya Hatoko had become the 11th generation heir, and the misunderstanding between her and her grandmother and the fear of living alone in the world made her confused. A condolence letter to a dead pet, a divorce announcement, a rejection letter for a loan, a breakup letter to a close friend...
Each ghostwritten letter is a realistic portrayal of the guests’ lives and also a lesson in life.
