I liked the concept of this book. Traveling to the past and future without changing the present is cool and different. The characters are also lovable. There are a lot of moments that are sad, but satisfaction follows. The only thing I wish that it had a bigger climax. The plot twist is expected, too,o so there's that. But, overall, I liked this and will definitely read the rest of the series.✨

i found the concept so interesting and while it didn’t make me cry it did touch me. also, i thought we would get to know one new outsider with each chapter but i loved that it was more about the people in the cafe.

This took me a bit to get into, as I didn't warm up to the characters for a while. The story really grew on me as it went on though. I didn't love the repetitive lines and over explaining (one of my usual pet peeves), but I'm taking into account this is a translated book, and it might read as more poetic in Japanese.
I love the concept, and the cafe, and I'm looking forward to possibly visiting again with the others in the series.
