Kaoru Mori: Anything and Something

Kaoru Mori’s Anything and Something is a tender, quietly observant collection of short stories that capture fleeting moments of connection, self-discovery, and quiet humor. Through delicate lines and gentle pacing, Mori explores everyday lives with warmth and wit—whether it’s a girl seeing the world anew through glasses, a bunny-girl navigating her job with grace, or an introverted student finding her voice in a creative community. With charming sketches, insightful notes from her acclaimed works Emma and A Bride’s Story, and her signature blend of sincerity and whimsy, this is a beautifully grounded glimpse into the small, meaningful corners of life.
