episode Before the coffee gets cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi cover

Description

May it be the career-driver Fumiko, the girlfriend, the affectionate Kohtake, the wife, or of the arrogant Hirai, each have their own aura of personality. The characters don’t leap out, they stay as real as they can, as demure and silent as they can. Japanese literature has never been known to be noisy or loud, it’s the subtlety inside them that gives them the warmth. Much of Kawaguchi’s novel may classify to most under drama, but for me that’s an art, the art of talking so much in so less. The human heart knows no boundaries. It knows no bondages, it can do anything for love, anything to find that love when it is lost. Kawaguchi has tapped this part of the heart and weaved stories out of this.
