Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

overhyped, imo! though i understand that some of it is a side-effect of translating from another language, the tedious exposition just made me want to nitpick. i liked the build up of character arcs and overarching connections through the individual stories, but it didn't make me feel particularly emotional and some of their decisions made me feel icky.
