A review by serinde4books
The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki

3.0

This was interesting. I think there may have been some cultural nuances I didn’t understand. The story felt a bit disjointed. Almost like I was reading an anime show with my son. I always feel like there is something lost in translation for me. The themes and ideas feel so big, but then the dialogue feels almost childish. I suspect that in its original language the dialogue has much more depth and flows better with the story. But all of that aside, I can see what this is meant to be. I just wish I had connected better to the characters.
