Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a great book and I can see why it gets all the hype even though its so short 
Through the book we see 4 different stories involving going travelling through time to talk to a loved one for a variety of reasons. Each is touching in its own way, though I think my favourite was 'Husband and Wife'.
The characters in this book are fully formed, intersting, and realistic which makes you feel for them even more.
I definitely think I'll pick the second installment.
