Convenience Store Woman

Keiko Furukura has always been peculiar. Since childhood, she did not understand how to behave properly in society, and the world seemed foreign and incomprehensible to her. Everything changed when she got a job at a convenience store—a 24-hour shop where every action is governed by clear rules. For Keiko, working at the convenience store is not just a routine, but a coherent system where everything is predictable and orderly.
However, those around her do not understand her choice. Relatives and friends believe that after turning thirty, one should build a "normal" life: get married, find a "real" job. Under societal pressure, Keiko begins to wonder—is she living her life correctly? Or will the attempt to meet others’ expectations destroy her fragile world?
