The Haunted Bookstore - Gateway to a Parallel Universe (Light Novel)

A very heart-warming and lighthearted set of stories about a human woman (20yo) who was found in the spirit world as a young girl and adopted by spirits. It's kind of like a set of vingettes in a very slice-of-life sort of way, but there is one arc that runs though.

I'm not sure who the audience is. The writing seems like it's better for middle grade, but the characters are older teens and there's a brief moment where there's a “huge rack” and “big butt” comment justified because the character is a man — and it was weird. But really the translation seemed a bit weird and off at many times.

I really did enjoy this one and I recommend for an easy, lighthearted, maybe even cozy read, and I think adoptive parents or children might really enjoy this too. Read too if you like stories about spirits, especially from Japanese mythology.
