Cuando comienza a salir con Sara, una mujer dos años mayor que él, se siente atraído, pero ciertas cuestiones que creía resueltas comienzan a inquietarlo.

Sus cuatro mejores amigos: Aka, Ao, Shiro y Kuro, deciden cortar su amistad bruscamente sin dar explicación. La experiencia resulta sumamente dolorosa y deprimente para Tsukuru, que incluso contempló la idea de suicidarse, sin embargo logró sobreponerse. Ahora, con la idea de sanar definitivamente la herida y continuar su relación con Sara, Tsukuru emprende una búsqueda para averiguar qué es lo que sucedió exactamente.

In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order. The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music.
