3.5 stars. i found this book to be oddly wholesome, a celebration of people who are perceived as odd and a defiant rally cry to never conform for the sake of society. i also worked at a drug store for 7 years so this was strangely relatable.

I don't know how I feel honestly. It was an easy read, although getting introduced too Ms. Furukura as a character was weird. She is a very interesting character though. It is also an interesting concept and perspective but pretty slow paced. Somehow it makes sense how well they work together, but it also doesn't? Would recommend it for a quick read.
