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
