For decades, a local legend has sustained this community: if you touch the area of Kabahiko's body that mirrors what you want to make better on yours, he will provide a cure. Meet the diverse neighbors who reach out to the magical hippo in their moments of need: Kanato presses his head to the hippo's cheek, hoping to recover the stellar academic marks he once lost; Sawa, a lonely new mother, strokes its mouth, longing to reconnect with the confidence she once had as an award-winning retail assistant; Chiharu, a wedding planner, seeks the ability to truly listen for the happiness of others; and Kazuhiko learns to see life's everyday wonders even as his eyes fade from too much editorial work. Hailed by readers as an emotional masterpiece that grips the heart and heals the soul, Michiko Aoyama's enchanting international bestseller is a tender celebration of everyday encounters and the quiet magic of human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBestselling Author:\u003c\/b\u003e Written by Michiko Aoyama, the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of the global phenomenon \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"128\"\u003eWhat You Are Looking for Is in the Library\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExpertly Translated:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a gorgeous, evocative English translation by award-winning translator Takami Nieda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUplifting Episodic Structure:\u003c\/b\u003e Follows the deeply relatable journeys of ordinary neighbors finding comfort, purpose, and community healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProfoundly Emotional \u0026amp; Comforting:\u003c\/b\u003e Praised by readers worldwide for its tender depiction of human emotion, gentle wisdom, and soothing atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Perfect Gift:\u003c\/b\u003e A profoundly thoughtful, heartwarming present for fans of Japanese literature, contemporary comfort reads, and uplifting fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52683686871323,"sku":null,"price":679.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/81WTU1KVgVL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785148492","url":"https:\/\/beetlebookshop.com\/products\/the-healing-hippo-of-hinode-park","provider":"Beetle Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
