The Amberglow Candy Store

<b>In this charming, fable-like book from Japan, a fox spirit sells magical confections to troubled humans, only for them to get a little more than they bargained for...</b><br><br><i>Welcome. We don''t get many humans here.</i><br><br>In a cozy night-alley lies a very special store. It''s only open between the full moon and the new moon, and it''s full of <i>wagashi</i>, Japanese sweets. Each candy claims to cure some ailment of the heart or the head. But who is the mysterious proprietor, and why does he study his customers so closely?<br><br>From the girl who craves more time with her boyfriend to the friends with some buried resentments, each customer learns a valuable lesson from these sugary treats. The candies can give you what you most desire, but not always in the way you expect...<br><br>Back to the shop owner—did that shadow just make it look like he has a pair of ears? Surely, not a <i>tail</i>? If he is a half-fox spirit, so be it. But why is he so keen to study human emotions, and why does he say each candy has a "dosage"? Patience. Like the center of a gooey caramel, the best things take time to reveal themselves.
