Keiko Furukura, de 36 años, nunca ha tenido pareja y trabaja a tiempo parcial en una konbini, un supermercado japonés abierto las 24 horas. Siempre se ha sentido diferente, pero en la tienda encuentra un mundo predecible con un manual que le indica cómo actuar. Sin embargo, la sociedad espera que Keiko forme un hogar y siga un camino convencional. Esta novela de Sayaka Murata ofrece una visión hilarante de las expectativas sociales hacia las mujeres solteras, consagrándola como una voz destacada de la literatura japonesa contemporánea.
