Café Komorebi

tejas_c7
When city-weary Ayato nearly dies in a sudden accident, a mysterious woman in a kimono saves him—then offers him an impossible deal: a quiet café in a nameless mountain village, sold at an unbelievably low price. Desperate for escape, he accepts. But something is strange about Café Komorebi. The villagers don’t remember the previous owner. A black cat watches him in silence every night. A lost traveler arrives, claiming the village isn’t on any map. And then, there’s the woman in the kimono—always drinking tea in the rain, always appearing when the past begins to unravel. As the days pass, reality and illusion blur. Time bends. Guests arrive, but some never leave. The more Ayato settles in, the harder it becomes to leave. And when he finally uncovers the café’s secret, he will face a choice: stay in this peaceful dream forever—or wake up to a world he left behind. What to Expect in This Story: A slow, atmospheric journey through a rural village lost in time. A quiet, philosophical exploration of life, death, and the spaces in between. A deepening mystery that unfolds like a dream—softly, unsettlingly, inevitably. A protagonist who slowly realizes the truth… but will he accept it? A bittersweet, haunting conclusion that lingers like the last sip of tea.
