Oh my god. Wow. It's a read in one sitting and sticks with you kind of book. I'm super tired but cant find a way to stop being...stupefied. It is so so lovely, I want to be Keiko's friend.
Keiko is a 36yr old woman and has worked for 18 years part time in the same convenience store. She finds it hard to navigate society and how to react and exist in a society that wont give her an answer as to why? Which leads to funny situations like refering to humans as 'animals' and the food she gives them are 'feed'. People think she needs to be cured and it is painful, but her nonchalant/deadpan nature as an autistic woman gives it a hilarious edge (I really should credit Sayaka Murata with that...)
I've noticed that in some editions there is a letter at the end...I need to read it. I got my copy from the library so also need to buy a physical copy. I am obsessed with Keiko relatable queen
