Return once again to the quiet Tokyo café where time travel exists—but only under strict conditions—in Before We Forget Kindness, a deeply emotional installment in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

Inside the café, visitors are given the chance to travel back in time. However, the rules remain unchanged: they must sit in a specific seat, cannot alter the present, and must return before their coffee gets cold.

In this installment, the stories explore the quiet power of kindness, the weight of regret, and the emotional connections that shape human lives. Each journey into the past reveals how small acts of compassion and understanding can leave lasting impacts—even when time cannot be changed.

With its signature gentle storytelling and emotional depth, this book continues the series’ tradition of exploring love, memory, and healing through magical realism.
