Despite these obstacles, the anime highlights Honda’s dedication to their profession. It portrays a contemplative atmosphere, examining themes of perseverance and finding satisfaction in unexpected places. The story offers a slice-of-life perspective, focusing on the small victories and quiet struggles of an individual committed to sharing the joy of literature with others, all while embracing their unconventional existence.
