I didn't know what to expect with this as it's not my usual fare--translated and litfic. But it's charming. I loved Keiko Furukura and every time some garbage person in her life tried to give her shit for not conforming to ableist, sexist societal norms I was all "fight meeeeeee!" Nice to see a neurodivergent woman as the main character and though she encounters a lot of ableism, sexism, misogyny, and social harassment, she stays true to herself. I'll never look at convenience stores in the same way again.
