What a delightfully quirky and strange read. I saw a shocking amount of myself in our little heroine. When were we taught to be normal?

Unusual perspective of a 36 year-old, asexual, seemingly on the autistic spectrum - woman living in Japan. She struggles with perceiving and conforming to social norms and finds solace in the predictably of working at a convenience store, which she has done for the past 18 years, since she was 18.
