Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina; Hiroyuki Numata, a middle-aged man whos returned to the neighborhood searching for the happy life he once gave up; and Shizuku, the café owners teenage daughter, who is still coming to terms with her sisters death as she falls in love for the first time.While Café Torunka serves up a perfect cup of coffee, it provides these sundry souls with nourishment far more lasting.
