At the Full Moon Coffee Shop, we don’t take your order. Instead, we bring you desserts and drinks – selected just for you.

In Japanese legend, cats are symbols of good luck. If you are kind to them, they’ll return the favour one day. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might find yourself invited to a celestial café. The Full Moon Coffee Shop normally materialises on the night of the full moon – with one exception every year. This Christmas, the sagacious cats open their doors once more to all lost souls in need of a guiding light.

The season’s first customer, Satomi, catches wind of her boyfriend’s plan to propose on Christmas Eve, and feels torn between love and success. Her disaffected intern, Koyuki, has her own reasons for dreading the day, ever since her father died in a car accident. And Junko’s estranged father has fallen gravely ill, driving her to visit home after decades away.

In this festive follow-up to the cosy classic, the customers of the Full Moon Coffee Shop stand at a wintry crossroads in their lives. With the help of some feline divinations, they will find the courage to follow their stars into the new year.
