Even better than the first book. Highly recommend reading the first book before reading this, to get to know the main characters in the series (Kazu, Nagare, Miki, and the others).

We finally get to know who is the ghost in the cafe, and it’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time to see how the events happening in the cafe shaped Kazu’s perspective on her happiness.

Great start to the year, a lovely book, more of the same, if you liked before the Coffee gets cold, you'll like tales from the cafe.

Buku ini lebih banyak bikin aku merenung dan bengong soalnya kok bisa bikin sebuah kisah yang sangat heartwarming sekaligus patah hati di saat yang bersamaan?

Dari mulai cerita pertama aku udah dibuat beberapa kali hampir nangis, tapi yang lucunya dari buku kedua ini adalah kehadiran Miki yang jadi moodbooster. Setiap kali ada yang sedih-sedih, Miki selalu muncul dengan kelucuan dan kegemasan tingkahnya.

Apalagi waktu dia menyebut dirinya sendiri dengan kata ganti daku dan waktu Nagare nyuruh Miki buat menuangkan kopi untuk kali pertama, “Akhirnya! My debut tiba, yeah?” Benar-benar menggemaskan!!!

Walaupun ada Miki yang menjadi moodbooster di sepanjang buku, aku tetap nangis waktu baca kisah ke dua. Pertahananku roboh maksimal karena selain topiknya yang membahasa orangtua, kisah dan kesulitan Yukio juga bikin aku ngerasa kayak ... berat banget. Walaupun, ya memang kita nggak bisa membandingkan kesulitan orang. Karena mereka pasti punya kesulitan dengan kadarnya masing-masing.

Selain itu, dibandingkan dengan buku pertama, buku kedua ini juga sama-sama punya empat kisah, tapi sepertinya buku ini juga lebih fokus dengan kisahnya Kazu yang nggak kalah bikin sedih. Peluk erat buat Kazu!

Buku ini kayak ngajarin kita bahwa, sepahit dan sepedih apapun kenyataan yang kita alami, kita semua sangat berhak buat bahagia. And I do believe that.

Jangan lupa untuk bahagia!

The translation is better, however, not all the stories hit as hard as they did in the second book
