Before the Coffee Gets Cold Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4

Author's name: Toshikazu Kawaguchi

There's a rumor going around about a cafe in Tokyo that if you go there and drink coffee at a specific chair, you can travel to the past or the future. The conditions are many and complicated, such as: you can't meet anyone who hasn't visited the cafe before, you can't change the present, you mustn't leave the chair you're sitting on, and you must return before the coffee gets cold. However, none of these conditions stand in the way of the novel's heroes, who insist on traveling through time despite knowing they can't change the present. If you had the chance, would you travel through time? What would motivate you to take on this experience? A breakup, being let down by your favorite person, or death? And would you have the courage to face a past event that affected your life?
