ARGONAUT BOOKS

A surprising and moving novella about a misunderstood neurodivergent girl from one of Japan's most acclaimed young writers. Other people don't seem to understand Amiko. Whether eating curry rice with her hands at school or peeking through the sliding doors at her mother's calligraphy class, her curious, xuberant nature often results in confusion. When her mother falls into a depression and her brother begins spending all his time with a motorcycle gang, Amiko is left increasingly alone to navigate a world where she doesn't quite fit.
