For busy mothers, middle-aged men, and famous actors alike—life is always brighter with a touch of nail art!
Chuckle-worthy and deeply heartwarming, Shion Miura’s signature style shines in this quintessential workplace novel.

Misa Tsukishima runs the nail salon Moon and Stars. Believing in the magic of nail art—how bringing a beautiful shine to one's nails can infuse daily life with warmth and hope—she pours her heart into her work every day. Today, as always, a colorful cast of clients visits her salon:

An izakaya owner agonizing over an ingrown nail, yet hesitant to cross the threshold due to prejudice against nail salons.

A mother overwhelmed by childcare, stressed out with no time left to care for herself.

A beloved national actor who secretly adores manicures, but can't express his love publicly to protect his image.

Joined by rookie nail technician Hoshie Osawa—a passionate newcomer who happens to be a bit too fond of alcohol—Moon and Stars works its magic on its clients' nails once again today.
