One reviewer put a reason why the don’t like it, is that it feels like a play. But you know what yes that’s what it feels like and it’s perfect that way. It’s a short story collection that takes place in one setting. It’s almost as if you are a fly on the wall in this little Tokyo café, getting to know the people and what their stories are all about.
