Sweet, timid writing. Explores themes of mourning, regret, and wishes with a colorful cast of loveable characters. The setting, a timeless underground coffee bar which serves acidic Mocha, all very Buddhistic, is a place I'll merrily frequent in my mind for a cup. While reading, images of Manga or Anime spring to mind, specifically when the shy giant chef Nagare is involved or his hyperactive 7yo daughter who has a a tendency to blab in French: very kawaii. Although a cute cat graces this book's cover, nonesuch appears in the story.

4.5 The author has done it again. This book really tugged at my heart strings. Short and so so sweet, I would highly recommend.

I find this book kinda boring. It's good, but not quite hitting the same emotional beats as the first book but still cozy and heartwarming. My fav chapter was Mother and son <3

and what about the ghost?????
