A beautiful and shy introvert girl who loves books more than life runs a Second-hand Bookstore. Her deduction methods and skills are impressive as she derives her reasoning from her knowledge and experience of going through, probably every book in the world. It's a mystery series but instead of a gruesome murder, each chapter fills you with warmth and endearment as she slowly uncovers beautiful and twisted secret people have kept locked and hidden through the soft worn pages of that person's favourite book. There are not many thrilling mysteries or much of suspense either. The mystery plot is not exactly what wesay 'Kindaichi like' ... It is a quiet, slow and sweet slice of life manga, mostly about human relationships and how books can somehow bring people together. Some nice and unique stories about the mysteries of human relationships of people who visit the second hand book store, revealed through the pages of books..
Shinokawa Shioriko, a young owner of a bookstore in Kamakura, loves old books. Separate from the contents of the book, they each have their own story, slowly built as they pass from one person to another. Shioriko loves learning the stories of each old book that comes her way. Gora Daisuke was just scared off of books by his grandmother, an avid collector. When he got into her library one day as a child, she responded angrily and violently. Now his grandmother is dead, and it's time to deal with her belongings. He comes across the complete works of Natsume Soseki, which appear to be autographed! When he is eventually directed to Shioriko to ask about it, she responds with so much more than a simple answer about the signature. As he sees Shioriko's enthusiasm, it looks like knowing Shioriko might lead Daisuke to a new path toward appreciating books! (Source: MangaHelpers)
