This is another absurd, dark, and funny social commentary from celebrated Japanese author Sayaka Murata. Natsuki, the main character, feels different from society around her and believes strongly that she is an alien. Along the way, she finds likeminded individuals in her cousin and husband, and they decide to live outside of social norms and survive at all costs.
