This is a long-selling, best-selling novel by the popular author Banana Yoshimoto. The pages themselves are relatively clean as I've read it once or twice and stored it on the bookshelf, but there are some scratches on the cover. There may be some minor oversights. Please understand that this is stored at home and managed by an amateur. While you are commenting, please refrain from purchasing. During negotiations in the comments, I can temporarily pause the listing, but if someone else purchases it before that, I apologize, but I will prioritize the person who purchased it. Thank you for looking.
