Writers facing deadlines go to Tokyo's"Manuscript Writing Cafe" with an understanding -- they can't leave until their work is done.The clean, well-lit place in western Tokyo has 10 seats reserved for writers, editors, manga artists and anybody else grappling with the written word and deadlines. Coffee and tea are unlimited and self-serve, and high-speed Wi-Fi and docking ports are installed at every seat.
Takuya Kawai, owner of the Manuscript Writing Cafe, shows a slip of paper on which customers write down their goals."The cafe went viral on social media and people are saying the rules are scary or that it feels like being watched from behind," the genial Kawai said, displaying a board with the names of customers who completed their tasks and left.
The cafe charges 130 yen for the first 30 minutes and then 300 yen every successive hour. Though a few people have stayed past the official closing time, they have all eventually gotten their work done. "It's good to be able to concentrate on writing," she said, completing her goal of three blog articles in three hours.
