3.0

A sweet story to warm the heart. No spectacular plot twists or character developments, but a nice read to get out of the head and touch upon the atmosphere of the Japanese cafe culture with an additional mystical note that draws upon the region’s tradition of story telling with strong elements of emotions and surrealism.
