One table, one coffee, and one decision. That's all it takes to be happy. A novel about love, lost time, and opportunities that lie ahead. An international bestseller that has already sold 1,000,000 copies. A rumor is circulating in Tokyo... Hidden in one of its alleys is a small café worth visiting not only for its excellent coffee but also because, if you choose the right chair to sit in, you can travel back in time. However, even the incredible is subject to limitations—you won't be able to leave the café until the journey is over, you'll return when the coffee cools down, and no matter what you do, the present will not change.
