I feel conflicted because I loved hearing Keiko talk about the convenience store and her thought process but to say that I hate Shiraha is an understatement. I understand his place in the story but everything he did I just despised to the point where I was unhappy anytime he was featured and was made mad by Keiko’s decisions. 

I’m just not sure because I really feel like I can relate to Keiko in some of her experiences and the way she thinks but Shiraha made the reading experience unenjoyable.
