“A cozy bookstore in the corner of Shinjuku is the purrfect escape for those looking for a new story and some furry friends to read with.”
Welcome to Frère, a picture-purrfect share bookstore tucked away in a cozy corner of Shinjuku, complete with its very own adorable cat mascots! In a share bookstore, each shelf is curated by individual “shelf owners,” each contributing their own books and personal touch to the space. Inside, you’ll meet as many fascinating and unique people as there are books: a hairstylist struggling to keep up with the latest trends, a student trying to make ends meet, a bartender eager to understand people through literature, and other colorful patrons seeking the perfect read. Peek into their lives and watch their relationships blossom as they connect over their shared love of books and the stories that bring them together.
