Writers facing deadlines go to Tokyo's Manuscript Writing Cafe with an understanding — they can't leave until their work is done.
Oh, and there's prodding thrown in to make sure they buckle down and finish.
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.
