Summary
Shizuku, a bookish Tokyo middle-schooler who loves to read and write, notices the same boy's name on the checkout cards of her library books. Following a curious cat onto a train leads her to an antique shop and its owner's grandson Seiji, whose own fierce dedication to a craft pushes her to test whether she has a real talent of her own. Inspired by a cat-figurine called the Baron, she throws herself into writing her first novel.
