Synopsis
Ayumi inherits her mother's shoe-making workshop, crafting shoes with care to help wearers take positive steps forward in life.
"Good shoes will take you to good places." Those were the words Ayumi Yusai remembered when she took over her late mother's shoe-making workshop. As she makes each pair of shoes, it's as if she is casting a spell to help the wearer go a good place, by gently wrapping someone's first step every day. This is a story of a shoemaker who is still inexperienced, but still warm and caring. (Source: Kodansha, translated)
