Description
Book Introduction
The 500,000-copy bestseller "The World's Last Train Station"
Takeshi Murase's new work surpasses that excitement and fun.
The last letters exchanged between the 'one left behind' and the 'one who left'
Even though I try to hold it back, tears just keep coming out.
Five stories return with even deeper resonance.
The bestseller "The Last Train Station in the World" delicately depicts the story of people who lose their loved ones in an instant in a train derailment and are overcome with a sense of loss, providing readers with great comfort and emotion.
Author Takeshi Murase is ready to bring readers to tears once again with his new work, "The Last Post Office in the World," published in Korea after three years.
This book begins with the fantasy setting of "If you could write a final letter to a loved one who has gone to heaven, what would you say?" While maintaining the same worldview as the previous work, it reveals the deeper and more intimate truths of the person left behind, as they cannot see the departed person in person.
Five stories that will inspire readers to live by loving themselves again, beyond regret, longing, and love, are about to arrive.
The five people who appear in this book, including the number one fan who faced the death of the artist who helped her endure her listless work life, the man who betrayed the father-like benefactor who helped her get back on her feet despite growing up in an underprivileged family, and the owner who lost her husband and carelessly lost her only family member, her dog, one day learn of the existence of the 'Aozora Post Office' where you can send letters to heaven.
People who hesitate at first, but eventually risk their entire fortune to buy expensive stamps to send letters.
I want to convey my feelings to my precious one who has gone to heaven within 49 days before he or she leaves completely.
This new work, which not only surpasses the emotion and fun of "The Last Train Station in the World," but also has an even deeper resonance, will have anyone who has read the author's previous work immersed in it, shedding tears in their eyes.

Into the book
That day, Asaring was different.
He raised his voice without an umbrella.
I was solely focused on music.
He stroked my back as I was vomiting and groaning.
He wiped my dirty mouth with his bare hands.
And then, he called me.
Just for me, that song that later became his signature song… .
“You can’t pay for that with two o-hagis.”
--- p.38
A person who loves himself is not alone internally, even if he is physically alone.
If it were you, you would definitely be able to love yourself.
(Omitted) I needed some kind of permission to live in this world, so I wrote songs and struggled like crazy.
But I couldn't love myself until the very end.
So, I really hope you love yourself.
I pray that one day your favorite will be yourself.
--- pp.79-80
A lonely and desolate childhood.
A birthday that no one cared about and no one celebrated.
It felt like color had been added to the empty past.
The moment the birthday song ended, I blew out the candles.
People shouted “Happy Birthday” in unison and patted my shoulder several times.
The warm energy of that time filled the empty space until now.
“Thank you, everyone.
…thank you."
At that moment, on that day, for the first time in my life, the thought that I could live began to sprout in my heart.
--- p.115
What I gained from living with my grandmother was the road.
The way forward.
The path I want to take.
The way not to deceive yourself.
--- p.211
“One day, when the wind was blowing, I suddenly realized.
Oh, that guy isn't here anymore.
Even these days, there are times when I suddenly think of it.
I don't have any bad memories.
Strangely enough, when we lose a loved one, only good memories remain in our hearts.
“Such dazzling memories sometimes gently nudge me when I stand still.”
--- p.246
“We are doing this business with a strong sense of mission.
Sending a letter to a loved one in heaven.
It is not a simple delivery, but a final link between the hearts of the living and the dead.
“To change the cloudy sky into a clear sky.”
--- p.304
I'll take you to space someday.
I have never forgotten for a moment what I said to you the first day I met you.
From that day on, I devoted myself to my work, desperately wanting to take you into space.
Please believe me on this one thing.
--- p.304
You asked at the very end.
What is the greatest happiness in life?
I will teach you… .
It's alive.

Publisher's Review
“The last letter from heaven has arrived.”
Takeshi Murase, the emotional master who instantly brings tears to people's eyes
A new book that will touch readers' hearts with a more intimate and delicate story.
“It was only after reading this book that I finally understood how to say goodbye to someone precious.” Anyone who has ever lost someone precious in an instant in a sudden accident, or experienced that profound sense of loss and helplessness, will undoubtedly sympathize with the novel “The Last Train Station in the World.”
This book, with its authentic story and uniquely delicate psychological descriptions, immediately moved readers to tears when it was first introduced in Korea, selling over 500,000 copies solely through word of mouth.
Author Takeshi Murase has published a new work in Japan for the first time in five years and in Korea for the first time in three years.
The biggest difference between this new work and the previous one is probably the spatial background and the medium that connects the dead and the living.
While maintaining the grand worldview that the person who left and the person left behind can be connected within 49 days, the story changed from a train station to a post office, from a fleeting, in-person meeting to a letter.
But this isn't just a change in settings.
This passage shows the author's efforts to ensure that the person who left and the person who was left behind could fully reveal their deep and honest feelings because they could not see each other.
As if the author's intentions were spot on, the new work, "The Last Post Office in the World," not only surpasses the excitement and fun of its predecessor, but as you follow its five touching stories, you will find yourself tearing up and feeling your heart ache without even realizing it.
“To my beloved in heaven
If you want to send a letter,
“To the Aozora Post Office!”
Five characters, each of whom has lost a loved one for different reasons, come across an advertisement one day as if by fate.
“If you want to send a letter to your loved one in heaven, go to the Aozora Post Office!”
At first, they were skeptical, but when they found out that the post office actually existed, they decided to go there one by one with the mindset that it was worth the effort.
A two-story, ordinary post office with an orange signboard against the backdrop of Kamakura Beach.
But the most special letters come and go from this post office, letters that no one can trust.
When asked if it was really possible to send a letter to heaven, the post office worker calmly but precisely explained the rules.
(1) Letters can only be sent during the 49 days the deceased is in heaven, and (2) the postage fee is determined by the assets of the person sending the letter.
(3) If you want to receive a reply, you must pay double the postage, and (4) you must also submit income verification documents to prove this.
(5) Finally, you must also sign a contract stating that you will not disclose this fact to anyone.
The reason why the absurd premise of sending a letter to heaven is so powerful is because of this specific setup that strangely makes you want to believe it.
Thanks to this, it provides readers with a realistic sense of immersion despite being a fantasy.
According to this setting, characters can only send letters if they pay an amount ranging from 150,000 yen for a student with no income to 5 billion yen for a successful wealthy person.
At first, he hesitates to pay that much money, but eventually he decides to send a letter to the person he loves and is grateful for, no matter how expensive the postage is.
What is the value of life that you would trade for a large sum of money that cannot be easily decided, and what is the last sincere message you want to convey to your loved one?
“You can live, you can live.
So good luck today too!”
The heart that was sent to a loved one
A special miracle that returned with the courage to live again
The number one fan who witnessed the death of his favorite artist, who helped him endure his insignificant and listless life.
A man who lived with a huge amount of debt due to his unfortunate family background, but betrayed the benefactor who gave him a meaning and foundation to live for and made him feel the love of a father.
My grandmother gave me 'courage' and a 'path' to move forward again when I was discouraged by school violence.
A middle-aged woman who lost her husband and her pet dog, whom she relied on more than her own daughter, in a moment of mistake.
A successful businessman who has gone down the wrong path like a racehorse, but has lost his lover who believed in him and supported him more than anyone else.
Looking at the stories of the five people featured in this book, the people who left were the ones who had the greatest influence on the lives of those left behind.
Perhaps, they are people who are more affectionate than their own blood relatives, and who believe in, cheer on, support, and love those left behind even more than those who could not even love themselves properly.
Wouldn't it be an incredible fortune to be able to meet just one person like that in life?
The grief of those who have lost someone who loved them more than themselves, and the helplessness of suddenly losing their compass in life, are difficult to describe in words.
That is why we cannot help but sympathize with the desire of the person left behind to properly convey his true feelings to his precious one in heaven, even if it means risking all his assets or going into debt.
But the climax of this book is not a letter filled with the sorrow, regret, love, and longing of the person left behind.
The being that helped us settle down and live on this land has completely disappeared, but this is the answer of the departed who helped us rise up and live until the very end.
As I read each character's reply one by one, I find myself shedding tears at the sincerity of the person who left as well as the story of the person left behind.
“Take care of yourself, and live on in whatever way you can.” The answers of those who give courage until the very end resonate more deeply than any other story.
In this book, a special doll with "Good Luck" written on its back is passed around among seemingly unrelated characters.
The doll, filled with the hope that someone will be happy, is the love left behind by the person who has passed away, and also the love that the people left behind pass on to themselves and others.
Like that doll, "The Last Post Office in the World" will also circulate among countless readers, spreading not only comfort but also abundant joy, happiness, and love.
