Whether someone can find their way to the go-between is determined by fate.

Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon followed the teenage Ayumi as he took his first steps as a Tsunagu, or "go-between," a person with the power to connect with the dead and bring them briefly back to meet the living. In this much-loved sequel set seven years later, Ayumi is no longer a teenager and is a little more assured in his role, though still searching for the best way to manage his life as go-between and as a young man in the real world.

We meet two of his clients, whose emotional quests are weaved masterfully with Ayumi's own life, now working in the world of wooden toy design. HOW TO HOLD SOMEONE IN YOUR HEART is Tsujimura's tender and philosophical narrative about the power of connection-with our own stories and, more importantly, with the everydayness that makes up all our lives.
