Based on the Japanese myth of cats returning favours to humans who are kind to them, ‘The Full Moon Coffee Shop’ is the name of a peculiar cake cafe that is run by talking cats, which has no fixed location and instead materialises unpredictably on the night of a full moon. The protagonists of this story – a successful female scriptwriter in crisis, a heartbroken TV director, and two male entrepreneurs – all end up there in the middle of the night, in a semi-dream-like state, and receive life-changing advice on love, work, and relationships from a charismatic tortoiseshell cat who interprets his guests’ astrological chart. The Western horoscope comes into play, as well as the life phases, one for each planet, that guide what lessons we have or haven’t allowed ourselves to learn. Meanwhile, the customers are served a selection of drinks and sweet treats tailored perfectly to their needs.

‘Lose yourself in a world of talking cats with Mai Mochizuki’s cult bestseller’ GLAMOUR

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS DESTINY? AND HOW CAN YOU FIND YOURS?

Under a glittering full moon, a Kyoto coffee shop with no fixed location or opening hours appears only where and when it’s needed. Serving fragrant teas, the finest coffees and delicious desserts, it is entirely run by talking cats.

The Full Moon Coffee Shop attracts customers who have lost their way in their life, from a down-on-her-luck screenwriter and a lovesick TV director to a misunderstood stylist and a failed video game developer. In the middle of the night, the coffee shop’s feline guides take them on an astrological journey which forces the characters to face up to the past, in order to discover their destiny. And as each of them uncovers their purpose, their paths all become somehow intertwined…

Heartwarming and magical, The Full Moon Coffee Shop will remind you that it’s never too late to discover your purpose.
