Monday, Drink Matcha

"Thursday, Drink Cocoa" introduced me to Michiko Aoyama for the first time So when I saw "Monday, Drink Matcha" again, I read it without hesitation📖 When love and destiny meet, you and I are in it. Life has changes and encounters, troughs and surprises. Maybe you can drink matcha in a closed coffee shop. We must learn to find solace in the details of life. As long as we can cherish the things we like, that's enough, right?

Although they are different stories, each one is connected to each other. Just like the connections between people, they may seem unrelated, but in fact they unknowingly plant the seeds of a bond. In each page, the protagonist's image is very clear, and there are only a few supporting characters. But in the next page, you will find that the supporting characters in the previous page are the current protagonists. Although they are inconspicuous, they shine in someone's heart somewhere. As I grow older, I am given more and more responsibilities. With low self-esteem and sensitivity, I often think about the meaning of life and the meaning of going to work like this every day. However, in reading, in other people's stories, in countless warm moments and happy moments that happen to me, I feel that existence is meaning, and there is no need to delve into it. At this moment, I was sitting on the green train returning to work, thinking about the fear of going home, and seeing the food my parents brought me in my backpack, I choked up a little. I always look at the world with a negative attitude, but in fact there is a lot of warmth in this world that I ignore... Although I know that there are many bad people in this world and it is necessary to be on guard against them, every time I read these heart-warming works, I still want to look at the world with more warmth. Of course, some history cannot be forgotten, but some essences are also desirable. Don't limit the world, let alone yourself.

There is also a book called Thursday, Drinking Cocoa. Ready to watch next. Today is Thursday. After reading this Monday book, drink matcha. The background setting is ultimately tender, beautiful, and healing. Focusing on the protagonist Pan Huan who appears in the Moiré Cafe in the first story, the encounters and fate of related characters are extended. The boss is a healing presence like an elder, the owner of the tailor shop where Sachi bought the white feather fitted underwear, Mitsuru and Grandma Tatsu who care about him, Aunt Yukino, the stray little white cat, Takatomiko who sells the used book "Anemone Detective"... In the end, it all boils down to the characters in the moire cafe, starting a new and updated life.

I was very lucky to read the book "Monday, Drink Matcha" on Monday. The 12 warm stories connect 12 people with some kind of "tie". It can be said that life is full of different situations, and every encounter should be cherished. The story of Guangdu and his grandma moved me the most. Many family members have this way of getting along with each other. What they thought was full of love actually widened the distance between the two. Only when the other person feels it can love be meaningful. "I have completely lost my previous self-motivation. There is only one reason - I don't know what to do. If I only rely on exams to judge my success or failure in finding a job, then I will definitely have greater hope." This sentence deeply hurt myself, and I also thought of what people call "lying flat" and "living in ruins". I hope that we can all find our own way of living like Xiaoqing in the story.

I saw this book in the library today. I can tell 12 short stories, and each one shed tears. Chapter 1: Luck is in your own hands. The more positive you are, the luckier you are. It encouraged me. Every short story is inspiring. It is inspiring for love, family, career, hobbies, life, and life. It is very healing. Reading sometimes means seeing your own mood and living while healing. There is also an electronic version on Tomato. I am very happy. I guess I will read it again when I get bored in the future.

It's super good-looking, and it has something to do with Coco in the previous article. And I love these two plots very much, and they are intertwined. There is a sentence that I think is very good. Everyone promotes a bond. If one of the links goes wrong, there will be no today.

A book about home life, including family, friendship, and love. There is a specialty cafe, a leather bird underwear shop that carefully makes well-fitting underwear, a pastry that is carefully improved, and a Japanese confection shop with cultural heritage - Hashinoya. All people are connected by the relationship between each other. Connected together, some warm life chat scenes took place. The emotions are very delicate. Everyone has their own inner spiritual pursuit. I really like this kind of small book that seems to be daily but has profound life principles and beauty. Reading it will comfort the soul and make people want to calm down, think hard, and be a literary and artistic person. , A real person with delicate emotions, instead of the rough person he is now (gobbling up food, never tasting tea properly, let alone pairing cakes with cakes, never knowing what a handkerchief is when going out, and not seeming to love his current job very much, every day follows a step-by-step, well-organized, but... I have never experienced boring mechanical activities, and I have never met some wonderful people. The people around me do not love the work they do as much as the people described in the book. I feel the feelings of my loved ones or friends around me deeply and carefully). After reading this book, I feel that life can be so detailed and beautiful, which touches my soul.

One story leads to the perspective of the protagonist of the next story, and finally forms a loop. It tells the story of people with different identities gaining strength from others. Some of the plots may be cliché, but some can be enlightening. You can read it.

Life is cyclical, and everyone unconsciously saves someone in life. Meeting is fate. Maybe we are born as human beings and it is fate. It's a super good book to read and a very healing one [almost crying] [almost crying]

"Any encounter is the result of people who have always chosen to hold each other's hands."

I originally thought it was a separate story, but in the end it was actually connected. I felt like I was in a world full of tea, a warm and cozy world.

At first, I didn't know that each chapter was a story about meeting the characters in a cafe. Later, starting from the story about the girl carrying a guitar, I slowly understood that everyone in it has their own bond, and it brings warmth to people invisibly, so we must believe in treating others gently and be confident in ourselves.

The first time I listened to it, I multitasked. I just felt that the work was very warm, but I didn't fully understand the relationship between the characters. The second time I read it, it became much clearer. The author's design is quite clever. The fate between people, the connection and interaction between people and the environment are all wonderful. After reading it, I thought that this is indeed the case. Stop your hurried pace while reading, feel your surroundings, listen to your heart, and muster the courage to continue walking.

What a gentle book. What touched me most was probably the author's description of "relationships between people." After reading, my understanding is that it is not easy for people to have a relationship. It takes many opportunities for fate to happen. Every chance encounter is the result of two people trying their best to move towards each other. So, please cherish everyone around you who loves you and the people you love. It is a point of view that I like very much. It is a point of view that I like very much, and it is enough to make me feel grateful. This is enough

This book is like a warm cup of matcha, making me feel relaxed and healed when I am tired. The book mentions that "any encounter is the result of people who have never met before and choose to hold each other's hands." This reminds me of those beautiful encounters in life. Every encounter we have with another person can become a life-changing "bond." This book made me cherish the people around me more, and also made me believe in the encounter between love and destiny. Recommended to everyone, let's feel this warmth together!

It is a very healing book to read. Each short story is related to each other. It is everyone's goodwill and efforts and expectations to meet that connect the whole book, giving us a warm story.

Beautiful, warm and healing. Everything seems to have a different side.

See the end, go round and round, the people you meet will meet again! What a happy ending! I have read the author's other book "Thursday, Drinking Cocoa". I couldn't wait to read this book when I came across it. The same writing technique cleverly connects 12 seemingly unrelated characters to form this novel that is very warm to read. Everyone in the book reveals the softest and most sincere emotions in their hearts. After closing this book, I will reflect for a long time. The beauty and tenderness in this world are the most touching!

After reading "Thursday, Drinking Cocoa", I came to read "Drinking Matcha", which is also a very good and very healing novel. Different from "Coco", "Matcha" highlights the characterization, personality, psychological changes, and is more humanistic. Moreover, the feeling of empathizing with a certain chapter is really touching! !

I read this book in autumn and felt at ease! When a person grows up, he is supported by many things. He should be kind to the people and things he receives.

So touching... This is really the first time I read a work that can make me cry with happiness. I can get Japanese literature. It flows through my heart like a stream. The author always tells me one cruel reality after another in the warmest language, but also gives me a rising hope. There may be regrets in life, and there may be disagreements with loved ones, but I am connected with thousands of people in the world, so that even if I am alone, I can experience great happiness!

It's very interesting, and the one that impressed me the most was the one about the kitten; it's interlocking, echoing from beginning to end, and has a very smart storyline. Every article makes me want to explore!
