This book has an extremely beautiful writing and makes me anticipate to read more of Takashi Hiraide's work. His book has moved my heart as a cat lover. I am not a big fan of romance books but the way he touched on the topic of love while also balancing the idea of the fragilty of life. I was truly moved. I have read this book twice with an online platform and a physical copy. This book is still very enjoyable. Would I read it again? Definitely.

- Being a huge fan of Japanese literature, I was immediately interested in this book. Even though I know I shouldn't, I couldn't help but fall in love with the cat on the cover. After reading the contents, my love for it grew even more. The story portrays a scenario that might occur to me in the future. The couple both led relatively routine lives until one arrival drastically altered everything, the cat.l I was quite interested when the cat was mentioned. The house owner was said to not allow pets in the tale. However, this couple made every effort to care for the cat, ignoring the house rules. The cat was not an actual person, just a feline that made a regular appearance to the guest house yet it made such an impact to their lives. It added joy to their lives. What I have noticed too, as that due to the individual's jobs they did not have a bonding time with each other due to being busy. But, as the cat was introduced, due to their love for the cat. They were able to spend more time and nurture it together. Giving it a shelter whenever it visited.
