I regret not picking up this book earlier. I love short stories in the same universe, but this one definitely tops it as the best one.
All these characters and their reasons as to go on their chair were touching, but got more heartbreaking the further you go into the book. In total you'll go through 4 time travels and each one made me emotional.
The translation is wonderfully done, and easy to read. Its probably one of the reasons why I got touched and cried like a baby in the train.
I can't wait to get to the next one.
