I spent a luxurious hour wandering around Kinokuniya today, just happily browsing every corner. To my surprise, they had printed copies of two of my all-time favorite manga, Kino’s Journey and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. I was very tempted to bring them home, but I decided to behave and stick with the Kindle versions for now. Still, just seeing them on the shelf made me smile. Those stories are so special.

I also stumbled across a vinyl of Ghibli Jazz. I have been listening to Ghibli Jazz on Spotify for years, and it never gets old. Smooth, cozy, and perfect for any mood. This album was such a satisfying little discovery, and it made the whole browsing trip even better.
