Most will see only a cosy ramen restaurant. Only the chosen ones, those who are lost, will discover a place to pawn their life choices and deepest regrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHana Ishikawa wakes on her first morning as the pawnshop's new owner to find it ransacked, its most precious acquisition stolen, and her father missing. And then into the shop stumbles a charming stranger quite unlike any other customer — for he offers help, instead of seeking it. Together, they must journey through a mystical world to find Hana's father and the stolen choice: through rain puddles, hitching rides on paper cranes, across the bridge between midnight and morning, and through a night market in the clouds. But as they draw closer to the truth, Hana must reveal a secret of her own — and risk making a choice she will never be able to take back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescribed as \"an exquisite, deeply philosophical fantasy full of visual beauty and emotional revelations,\" \u003cem\u003eWater Moon\u003c\/em\u003e has gone viral on BookTok for its magical realism, cozy-fantasy aesthetic, soft romance, and the irresistible \"pawnshop of regrets\" trope.
