Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

3.0

The idea was great, but it fell slightly short for me. Sometimes it felt like it was written in the wrong order, like the exposition came at the wrong time. Rather than feeling invested in why a character was making a choice, I was a bit uninterested, then later the author gave the backstory I needed, but by that time, I felt "eh" about it. The moral of the story was great, but I wish the story had delved deeper into these characters.
