I love Furukura, she is so iconic, just let her be!!!! Just let her do her thing!! She deserves to just work at the convenience store 😭😭😭😭 (Dutch translation ftw, it just hits different than the english one)

The story is pretty fast paced, Furukura is an iconic main character and i love her. A truly painfully accurate account of society and the inner workings of some people's minds.

Amazing writing, Shiraha is the most annoying asshole ever and I hate him.

My partners read the book out loud to me and the only reason it took this long is because I needed to have a break three times per page because I had to yell about Shihara.

I wasn't sure what to expect when starting this book but I enjoyed it. It's a light read and it really provoked me to think. I found the concept of the story interesting at times and admired the main character's self awareness. I believe this is the first translated book that I've read, I'll be sure to check out some more.
