Before the Coffee Gets Cold
by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
3.5 stars. I thought it was an overall charming and nicely written story, but it’s not really time travel(more like just finding ways to get closure on regrets/choices?) and the characters don’t feel very fleshed out, which might be because of the short story structure—but I wish they could’ve felt a bit more distinguishable because they’d appear in other stories(because I’d sometimes mix up the characters names! They have similar tones in their dialogue)! (There is more of a consistent narrative here, the stories aren’t just strung together with a common theme.) Point is, I feel like the plot itself, as well as some of the emotional themes, really carried it, rather than the cast.
