The Complete Moon Café

In Japan, cats are considered a symbol of good luck. According to legends, if you treat them gently, they will return the favor one day; but if you treat the right cat gently, you might receive an invitation to a mysterious café under the shining Kyoto moon. This particular café is unlike any other; it has no fixed location, no set working hours, and seems to appear randomly, not to mention that its staff consists of talking cats. While the customers of "The Full Moon Café" enjoy tasting cakes and various coffee and tea drinks, the cats also look at their astrological chart to give them mysterious sermons and to point out the moment when their lives went off course. Everyone who visits this café feels a strong sense of confusion; from a scriptwriter who recently had bad luck, to a film director lacking romance in her life, to a hairdresser whose eyes sparkle with hope, and an IT designer struggling with technical difficulties. As usual, the café’s cat staff seeks to guide each customer to the path destined for them; the café appeared to them for a very special reason. They say about the novel: one of the best-selling books nationwide in Japan. It has been translated from the best-selling Japanese version into eighteen languages; it is a novel that reminds us that we still have time to complete the journey that fate has written for us.
