The unexpected international bestseller.

Meet Keiko. She's 36 years old, has never had a boyfriend, and she's been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years.

Keiko's family wishes she'd get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won't get married.

But Keiko knows what makes her happy, and she's not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store...

A cult hit around the world, Convenience Store Woman is both a feminist rallying cry and a must-read oddball comedy.
