Overview

A story of hope for all the lonely souls in the world who meet, lose, and remember their own Loulou at least once in their lifetimes.

Book Intro

Hello, My Dear Lulu

 

In the first part, called “Childhood,” the main character, Leo Ernst, loses his parents in a car accident when he is young. Loulou appears to Leo, who is left alone overnight. It is not explicitly stated whether Loulou is a large animal, someone who represents an adult, or an illusion seen by Leo’s eyes, but to young Leo, Loulou is his mother, father, brother, and friend. In an unfamiliar environment and surrounded by strangers, little Leo, thanks to his Loulou, gradually straightens his shoulders and begins to have a dream for his path through the world. However, as he begins his studies to become an expert at making sweet and dark chocolate, something he has enjoyed since childhood, Loulou gradually becomes detached from the side of an ever-busy Leo.

 

Parts 2 and 3 tell the story of Leo Ernst, an adult who has become a chocolate artisan. Although he is now a recognized craftsman, he cannot even taste the sweetness of chocolate properly, and his life is devastated and turned upside down. His daily life is busy, but he lives an isolated life with no trace of love or experience of sharing. Then a strange child appears before him, and Leo Ernst becomes curious, approaching this child whose name he does not know. This is the first time he has done something like that, and now, after a long absence, he sees Loulou with the child. The courage and challenge to approach the child infuse warmth and vitality into Ernst’s dry and barren daily life. Ernst, who has lost the memory of love, the experience of sharing, and the value of sacrifice, in pursuit of self-reliance and his own success, finally shares his life with the child, and in doing so he remembers the sweet taste of his favorite chocolate from childhood. The young Leo Ernst met Loulou, and now the adult Leo Ernst becomes Loulou for another young Leo.
