About the Book

Water Moon invites readers to step through the door of a cozy Tokyo ramen restaurant and find themselves somewhere entirely unexpected: the Pawnshop of Almosts and Ifs. Twenty-one-year-old Hana wakes the morning after her father, Toshio, retires and passes his mysterious family business into her hands, only to discover the shop ransacked and one of its precious, glowing birds released from its cage. For generations, Toshio has quietly collected the regrets his clients no longer wish to carry — but the theft threatens catastrophic consequences, and now Toshio himself has vanished without a trace.

Determined to find her father and set things right, Hana sets off on a dreamlike quest through a hidden world of magic and memory, accompanied by an unexpected companion: Keishin, a charming young physicist who wanders into the shop at just the right — or perhaps most fateful — moment. As their search deepens, Hana must confront long-buried truths about her mother, who once made a devastating choice of her own, and grapple with profound questions about happiness, freedom, and what it truly means to live without regret. Blending the whimsy of Studio Ghibli-inspired storytelling with the philosophical depth of literary fantasy, Water Moon is a lyrical, richly imagined fairy tale for adults about the choices that shape a life — and the courage it takes to face them.
