there’s literally nothing i didn’t like about this book. keiko is such a lovable character, but maybe that’s because i identify with her so much. at first, my anticapitalist self wanted to hate the convenience store so much, but i just want people to leave keiko the fuck alone and let her be happy in her job. classism and capitalism have truly destroyed individualism and the pursuit of true happiness. love u keiko! love u murata <3 my only complaint is that the book is too short.
