sketchydelusion 's review for:

The Chibineko Kitchen by Yuta Takahashi
3.75
emotional hopeful lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The translation was bad at parts (some phrases were translated so literally that I could tell which japanese phrase was originally used, but didn't make sense in English context), but the storyline got better. 

The first 2 chapters pretty cookie cutter for this concept, but the 3rd chaper was great at depicting grief and not only regret.

I like this concept of meeting the ghost of a loved one one last time, but so often it boils down a post-mortem miscommunication trope à la "I wish I had told them this earlier", so chapter 3 was a pleasant surprise.
