Kembali lagi di café Funiculi Funicula yang menceritakan 4 kisah berbeda dan bertemu Kazu, si pegawai yang dapat mengantar orang-orang yang datang ke café tersebut untuk melakukan perjalanan waktu.
Menurutku, buku kedua ini jauh lebih sedih dan menyayat hati, beberapa kali aku nangis saat baca yang ini. Mungkin karena topiknya lebih mengarah tentang hubungan anak dan orangtua dan juga tentang orang yang sudah tiada. Mau tidak mau cara satu-satunya adalah untuk kembali ke masa lalu.
Hal positif lainnya dari buku ini adalah bisa dibaca tanpa harus membaca buku yang pertama jika lupa, karena akan ada beberapa ‘flashback’ dan aturan untuk bisa melakukan perjalanan waktu juga akan dijelaskan kembali.
Walaupun ceritanya berasa seperti diulang-ulang tapi, aku tetep enjoy baca buku ini.
Overall, buku ini merupakan sekuel yang sangat bagus untuk serial ’Before the Coffee Gets Cold’ , kita bisa belajar banyak hal dari pesan-pesan hebat yang tersebar di sepanjang cerita!
Beberapa misteri tentang café itu akhirnya terjawab dan aku juga puas dengan ending setiap ceritanya. Ga sabar buat baca buku yang ketiga nantinya!
Novel tipis ini pas banget buat orang yang ingin membaca perpaduan genre fantasi dan ‘slice of life’.
Highly recommended!

3 years later and I have now read the next novel by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the coffee gets cold ~ Tales from the Café. Some of the same faces appear in this story as featured in the first book and we learn more about their lives along with the 4 people who come to travel back, or forward, in time, in the hope of sharing one last moment with a friend, a mother, a lover, a wife. Another wonderful set of stories in one cover and I look forward to reading the next instalment.
