rep: Japanese cast, autistic-coded mc
the excruciating exploitation of both capitalism & patriarchy told through the lens of a "perfect" convenience store worker. depressing and terrifying, and the way keiko's brain works absolutely stops you in your tracks. it's very telling that it's the skeleton-like, unwashed, despised leach of a misogynistic man who's the only anti-capitalist character here.
