My favourite of the series, the action is transplanted to Nagare’s mother’s café in Hakodate. A gentle and subtle read- still cried tho

The whole book series is just the epitome of the "try not to cry challenge," and I am failing in all of it. An ultimate tearjerker, and I just started part 1. There's an underlying theme in the book; it's a simple concept we tend to take for granted: we never know when we will die, so take the chance and do it, whether you wish it on a thing, for someone, or for yourself.

This was fine but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other two books in the series so far. Mostly tragic dead woman stories about guys.

This is definitely my least favorite out of the series but I will admit that I started to feel choked up reading the ending. Not because I was particularly connected to the characters but rather because I was shocked, frustrated, and on the bus of all places.

One of my biggest qualms with this book, and I might of mentioned the same thing for the last one, but it's quite annoying how the rules of time travel is still being explained. It's the third book, us readers are very well aware of the rules by now. You could easily read the books out of order because of this.

The world of characters has greatly broadened in comparison to the other books but the book is just as short. Old characters are mentioned but given so little attention and growth that they may as well have died.

I'm obviously being very critical cus I have so much love for this cozy coffee world but, even with my complaints, if Kawaguchi comes out with another book, i will read it.
