'Just remember...' Kazu paused, facing Kohtake with downcast eyes. 'Drink the coffee before it gets cold.'

Originally I was just going to give this a four-star rating but I'm updating my review a few hours later because hands down this is a 5 star read!
I'm not usually the type of reader who enjoys anthology-type stories but this sounded so intriguing that I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go anyway and I'm so glad I did! This was such an interesting idea and I will definitely be reading more from this world and Toshikazu Kawaguchi!
