Kamusari Tales Told at Night

About

It's been a year since Yuki Hirano was shipped off to the remote mountain village of Kamusari to study forestry — a career he never imagined and a life he didn't choose. But courage, his name reminds him, is what he's supposed to have. Between learning the ancient rhythms of woodland work, he navigates first love, village politics, and the local legends that seem to have an unsettling habit of being true. Shion Miura's sequel to The Easy Life in Kamusari deepens the world of a village where tradition and the supernatural coexist without contradiction. Yuki's voice — earnest, self-deprecating, and increasingly at home in a place that once seemed alien — carries the narrative with the warmth of someone writing letters from a life he's growing to love. A novel about finding your place in a world that runs on older rhythms — and discovering that the stories the mountains tell are worth believing.
