A review by turnaboutcafe
Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

emotional inspiring sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.25

• honestly the first book was significantly better than this one, because the four short stories in the first book were connected, while these ones purely felt like standalone stories
• i like how they discovered more of kazu's backstory as the coffee pourer and everything, but the way they introduced her backstory felt really disconnected from the short stories
• idk somehow there wasn't as significant of an emotional impact as the first book unfortunately
