I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky little book. Keiko Furukura may be different, but she learns to accept her own instincts and purpose in life despite the pressure from society to confirm. It's an interesting commentary on the strangeness of what society considers normal and unwillingness to accept people who are happily different. It also gave me a newfound respect for konbini workers!
