Mocah Cafe - Kengu Reading Challenge

Kengu is expanding the Mocah Cafe menu in 2026, but the menu only unlocks if we read! Each month has a drink + snack inspired by a reading prompt. What we read will determine what gets added to the menu.

How To Participate

Read in any format: physical books, audiobooks, graphic novels, mangas
Goal: 30 minutes a day
Share a spoiler-free update, quote or progress
- Progress can be a simple message in Discord under the Cafe Library channel using a screenshot
- Join us on StoryGraph (feel free to hide your username if you'd like!)

The "Rules":

30 minutes daily for the month = Drink Unlocked
Complete a book with the theme = Drink + Snack Unlocked (these will come as a combo)
No reading that month = No menu item added
Skip months guilt-free!
