Lost in too many translations from script to novel, then translation into English. A little magic disappeared along the way. Unfortunate Benoit had a great premise.

Audiobook: Heartwarming little story. At first, it was a little tough to keep the names straight but that wasn't a problem towards the end.

Confusing, purposeless and weird!

I had a hard time following the story a little bit. I felt like I had to force myself to read it and was just waiting for it to be over. The ending was slightly more interesting but overall I thought the story was very bland.

I enjoyed the concept of time travel and the rules restrictions allowed it to move quicker. The tricks played on the spirit were funny. I also like the setting of a Japanese coffee shop, different.
