One of the easiest books in Japanese I've ever read
Well, the book isn't that great, and it's true that the characters are pretty one-dimensional and that it has a lot of plot holes when it comes to the time travel mechanics.
But if you're able to ignore those problems, it can be a pretty entertaining book for beginners, maybe the first novel you try in Japanese (I actually think it's better to start with this than with children's books). I had a good time with it, but I also treated it as something easy to read and didn't think too deeply about it.
The vocabulary is small and repeated a lot, the grammar is very simple, there is an audiobook which is amazingly well done, and each chapter is about a self-contained plot, although each character appears in several chapters. Even if you don't like one of the stories (for me it was chapter 4), chances are that at least one of the others will be entertaining.
You can also really feel that this is based on a play, in my opinion, in the way the characters speak and in the setting. If that puts you off, maybe that's another reason to skip this one.
