「福」に憑かれた男
人生を豊かに変える3つの習慣
A story that turns a bookstore crisis into a question about the meaning of work
Synopsis
No spoilers
After his father's sudden death, Shuzo Matsuo takes over his family's Osafunedo Bookstore. He works hard to expand the store, but the business remains unstable, and plans are made for a large bookstore to open nearby. Just as Shuzo is driven to consider closing the store, encounters with people and a series of lessons gradually change how he sees the difficulties before him. Centered on his struggle to protect the bookstore, the story leaves room to consider in your own words why we work and what it means to be fulfilled, and poses these questions to the reader as well.
