Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
4.0
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is well written and magical in such a minimal way, that it is perfect. The concept of this story is unique. 4 short stories based in a little cafe where you can go back in time and talk with someone who has been in the cafe before ~~ but you must completely drink the coffee before it gets cold. 

The conversations and the relationship between the characters are written well and established. This is great considering how short each of the stories are.
