Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

1.5

sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A super dry (translation or otherwise), basic magical realism, repetitive af, attempt at trauma porn. The best thing about it is that it's short and at least one character is interesting (Fumiko I see you).
