Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Tales from the Café

In a small, tucked-away café in Tokyo, patrons have the unique opportunity to travel back in time, but only for the duration it takes for their coffee to cool. The story weaves together the lives of four visitors, each grappling with their own regrets and desires to revisit pivotal moments in their past. Through these time-traveling experiences, they confront unresolved emotions and relationships, ultimately discovering the importance of living in the present and cherishing the connections they have. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of time, offering a poignant reflection on the human condition.
