Into the book
I've never used the word love because it's so irritating, and I'll never use it again, nor do I have the courage to do so, but I think it's definitely a great word.
--- p.76
I'm a chatterbox, but I can't really express what I really want to say or what I need to say.
If it's a trivial story, you'll be able to talk about it without hesitation.
Maybe because I didn't think about it deeply.
If you try to think properly even a little bit, it won't work anymore.
My chest feels tight, my tongue is stiff, and I can't speak at all.
--- p.125
Because sad or painful things tend to fade away soon.
By accumulating memories day by day, we cover up the past.
That's what life is like.
--- p.140
A man who is hated will never understand.
It's the same as yesterday, but I don't know why.
The problem is up until that 'yesterday'.
The answer was all contained in the actions up until 'yesterday'.
If today is no different from yesterday, then that's the end.
--- p.198
“I just didn’t believe it, but when I did, it was different.
“I could have spent twenty years differently, including my relationship with my wife.”
“Maybe it took me twenty years to believe.”

Publisher's Review
“Leave your hatred behind you in the Lotus Taxi.”
The magical journey of Lotus Taxi that will have you reading to the end
There are many ways to fill the void left by the death of a loved one.
Some people decide to take revenge on the person who left first, some quickly erase the person from their memories because they were precious to them, and some take care of the person who had a bad relationship with them until the end.
There may not be one right answer, but Lotus Taxi accompanies you on your journey to find your own answer.
Ultimately, a taxi not only moves the customer to their location, but also changes the direction of their life.
As the name 'Lotus' suggests, this novel tells the story of life blooming over death, like a lotus flower blooming from mud.
"Here's Custard, Selling Special Lunch Boxes": The Bizarre Healing World of Author Gen Kato
Gen Kato, the author of the much-loved soft and touching healing fantasy novel "Here is Custard, Selling Special Lunch Boxes."
This time, we've expanded the world of the lunchbox shop and returned with "A Special Guest Rides the Lotus Taxi."
A taxi driver who was a customer at a lunchbox restaurant appears as the main character and attracts attention.
Moreover, the secret of the lunchbox shop that was not revealed in the previous work is revealed, so it will be even more interesting for readers who have read “This is Custard, We Sell Special Lunchboxes.”
You can also enjoy the joy of meeting familiar faces again, such as Yuria, a regular at Lotus Taxi, Hinata, the owner of the lunchbox shop, and even Kitsu, who still enjoys joking.
A unique healing fantasy that transcends mystery and emotion.
This book delivers a genre-specific fun different from conventional healing fantasy with its intriguing setting of a "ghost taxi."
The secret stories of the guests stimulate curiosity throughout the story, and the joy of a twist when their identities are revealed is also delivered.
The appeal of space provided by a means of transportation rather than a fixed location is also considerable.
As the story unfolds, a sense of tension builds as to whether or not one will be able to reach their destination.
The novel doesn't end with the guests' sad stories, but captures the warmth that goes beyond them.
The fantasy that arises in the space called a taxi relieves the passengers' sadness and opens the way forward.
The novel offers readers comfort and courage through the lighter steps of passengers getting out of the taxi.
