Before Your Memory Fades

Some Memories Are Worth Travelling Back For

Return to the world of the magical Funiculi Funicula café in Hakodate, where a special seat allows visitors to travel back in time — but only under strict rules, and only for as long as the coffee stays warm. In Before Your Memory Fades, the third enchanting instalment in Toshikazu Kawaguchi's beloved series, four new visitors make the journey, each carrying a longing they cannot let go of.

Tender, quietly profound, and deeply moving, this is a story about the things we wish we had said, the people we wish we had held on to, and the memories that define who we are.
