Convenience Store Woman (Japanese: コンビニ人間, Hepburn: Konbini Ningen) is a 2016 novel by Japanese author Sayaka Murata. It captures the atmosphere of the familiar convenience store that is so much part of life in Japan. The novel won the Akutagawa Prize in 2016.[4] Aside from writing, Murata worked at a convenience store three times a week and drew the inspiration for the novel from her experiences. It was first published in the June 2016 issue of Bungakukai[5] and later as a book in July 2016 by Bungeishunjū.
The novel has sold over 1.5 million copies in Japan[6] and is the first of Murata's novels to be translated into English.[7] The translation, by Ginny Tapley Takemori, was released by Grove Press (US) and Portobello Books (UK) in 2018.[8] The book has further been translated into more than thirty languages.[6]
