There is something incredible about working in the week ends, mainly, you get plenty of time to decide what you are going to review on your next column and sometimes even write it. (Because, in my workplace it’s either you move or die frozen and even so, it’s better to move next to the heater)

Today’s victim of my now infamous reviews (or so I hope they are, after more than a year…) is Starry Sky. What is Starry Sky you ask?

At the very least, I hope you all ate well today because good food is awesome every day of the year. I’ll admit I kinda wanted to review something else for today, but, among the things I had pending this one the most heart warming, so Shigofumi it will be.

In Shigofumi, when someone dies, they are allowed to send one last letter to a person of their choice as long as they’re still alive. Some people do their best so these Shigofumi are delivered. Fumika is one of these very special postmen. She and her partner Kanaka, a talking staff, work everyday, delivering letters, sharing some moments with the humans they are destined to.
