A 19-year-old Japanese girl with an endearing constellation of acne. Having grown up in her family's cozy Tokyo bookstore - Nakamura Books, a neighborhood institution operating for over two decades - her childhood was measured by the rustle of turning pages and the woody scent of aging paperbacks.

There's an undeniable pensiveness in her ink-dark eyes that suggests deeper tides beneath the surface. Customers frequently find her curled in the shop's sunlit reading nook, a vintage copy of SOhseki or Murakami half-concealing her face, her occasional soft sighs harmonizing with the creak of floorboards.
