"At that moment, for the first time ever, I felt I’d become a part in the machine of society. I’ve been reborn, I thought. That day, I actually became a normal cog in society." #conveniencestorewoman

Props to a @newyorker.com headline for finally inspiring me to read Convenience Store Woman. Unexpected protagonist, couldn't predict where it was going, bonkers. Also very true to life working in retail.

A crudely drawn front cover for a Star Wars fanfiction entitled "Rise of Kashira". There are two women with pink and blue hair respectively, and a black man with cybernetics leaned up against the wall. A black and orange R-series droid is at the forefront.
A series of illustrated novel covers for Convenience Store Woman. Keiko is holding a Japanese style mask in front of her face while looking at the viewer tiredly. Each cover's background is a varying colour.
My mum just handed me this Star Wars fanfic I wrote and bound when I was like 10. So. How it started vs how it's going, I guess.

This is a story about Keiko who works at a convenience store and just wants to fit in with humanity. But it’s a struggle. #booksky #conveniencestorewoman #whatimreadingnow #goodbooks
A concept art sheet for various artworks inspired by Sayaka Murata's novel "Convenience Store Woman". The far left side is reference images of a mini mart, various Japanese masks, and the UK covers for the novel. Next to it are various sketches of my own interpretation of the cover, wherein Keiko is holding a Japanese festival mask to her face while manning the store's till. The same drawing is copy and pasted multiple times with different coloured backgrounds. The top right is a very sketchy and heavily annotated drawing of Keiko manning the till.
Schoolwork for today, concept work for an artist response piece. Should do the full thing either over the weekend or early next week.

I started rereading Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman before I begin reading Earthlings, just to brush up on her style.
I understand Keiko much better now that I am on the other side of 30s.

It's Japanese Literature Month. Highly recommend CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN, by Sayaka Murata. A gem of a novel at 176 pages and winner of Japan's most prestigious literary prize.
