‘Kabahiko is an amazing hippo. People say that if you touch the area of his body that you want to make better on yours, he’ll provide a cure''
Nestling at the bottom of a five-storey apartment block is the children''s playground, Hinode Park. If you look to the side, standing on stubby legs, is a hippo. Its upturned eyes give it a teary look, yet for decades, its quiet power has sustained the hearts of one community.
Meet the neighbours who will reach out to kabahiko:
-Kanato presses his head to the hippo''s cheek, hoping to recover the stellar marks he once scored;
- Sawa, a konely new mother, strokes its mouth, hopes to connect as she once did when she was an award-winning retail assistant;
- Chiharu, a wedding-planner, hopes to be able to listen for the happiness of others;
- Yuya avoids sports day with a fake injury, only to find he really is in pain.
- despite Kazuhiko''s fading eyes from too much editorial work, he will learn to see life''s everyday wonders.
A quietly powerful story of hope, friendship and connection, Michiko Aoyama''s beloved bestseller is a celebration of everyday encounters. Its subtle portrayal of the magic of community will lodge itself in every reader''s heart.
