About the Book

A Perfect Day to Be Alone – A Poignant Portrait of Solitude and Self-Discovery

A Japanese contemporary classic, perfect for fans of Convenience Store Woman.


When 21-year-old Chizu's mother moves to China for work, she finds herself living in a crumbling Tokyo house with Ginko, her eccentric 71-year-old distant relative. With two aloof cats, the ceaseless rumble of passing trains, and an uneasy companionship between them, the two women navigate life in a quiet yet profound coexistence.


Through the cycle of the four seasons, Chizu drifts through a series of tedious part-time jobs, fleeting relationships, and moments of sharp loneliness. Yet, amid the monotony and heartbreak, she slowly begins to carve out a sense of self—finding unexpected resilience in solitude.


With deadpan humor and keen emotional precision, A Perfect Day to Be Alone captures the small but significant moments of youth, loneliness, and independence. Aoyama paints a vivid love letter to Tokyo, exploring what it means to grow up, break free, and find meaning in a city that never stops moving.
