As usual, four tales of people visiting the café. I, however, was more interested with the ghost sitting on the time-travel chair. The reasoning wasn't satisfying to me though but I just gotta deal with it eh? No choice.

In this book, we'll see the character development of Kazu and the stories become deeper.

'no matter what difficulties people 
face, they will always have the strength to overcome them. It just takes 
heart. And if the chair can change someone’s heart, it clearly has its 
purpose'
