Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Part One
Written by: Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Number of pages: 254
A novel translated into Arabic by the Japanese author Toshikazu Kawaguchi. The novel's events take place in a popular cafe in Tokyo, where a rumor circulates that anyone who sits on a certain chair in this cafe can travel through time, either to the past or to the future, but only if they meet four conditions:
The time traveler can only meet people who have visited the cafe.
Time travel cannot affect a person's current situation.
There is no specific time when a person is forced to leave the chair, and when they are satisfied and stand up, anyone else who wants to travel can sit in their place.
Time travel begins as soon as the coffee is poured, and ends as soon as it cools.
Have you ever wanted to confront someone who abandoned you?
Have you ever wanted to have one last memory of someone you loved?
Have you ever wished to meet a dear person whom you never had the chance to meet?
Most importantly... Have you ever thought about traveling through time by sipping coffee?
