In Mai Mochizuki's The Full Moon Coffee Shop, a mystical café materializes each full moon, where prescient cats serve exactly what visitors need before they know they need it. Through four interwoven stories—a grieving employee finding solace in perfectly brewed tea and a retired teacher discovering unexpected connections—the novel explores how this supernatural space touches ordinary lives. Despite occasional translation bumps, Mochizuki's straightforward prose and brisk pacing create momentum, while the cats' mysterious insights and playful antics bridge the mundane and magical. What emerges is something remarkable: a story that, though steeped in the supernatural, feels deeply authentic in its portrayal of human connection.
