ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata follows Keiko Furukura, a 36-year-old woman who works at a convenience store in Tokyo. Despite having a well-paying job, Keiko struggles to meet societal expectations, especially regarding her single status and unconventional career. The novel explores themes of societal norms, conformity, and individual identity as Keiko questions her place in a world that values tradition and social roles. Through her daily routine at the store and her interactions with others, the book delves into the pressure to "fit in" and the personal conflicts that arise from not doing so.
