This book in the series touched me most especially with the pet story. It gave me sort of a closure myself since I also lost a beloved cat.

I love that Fumiko becomes a recurring character and relieved Kohtake is still around taking care of Mr Fusagi. I wish at some point, we follow Miki’s story in Funiculi Funicula while Kazu and Nagare were away in Hokkaido.

I liked chapter or part 3 only, because of the dog but otherwise this was so boring and somehow slow and I didn't like the focus on marriage or having kids, felt like an agenda.

Quick read with a unique take on time travel. 4 short stories with the same theme. Cried several times but always felt better after a quick cry.
