Diary Of A Void - Emi Yagi

Ms Shibata has been asked to clear up after her colleagues one too many times, so, one day she decides not to. And when her colleagues ask why… she announces her pregnancy.

Ms Shibata is not pregnant. But she discovers there are a lot of perks for mums-to-be… she doesn’t have to work overtime, she gets prime place on her commute and her colleagues are off her case.
So begins a tale of deception with darkly funny humour alongside that gnawing feeling of impending doom!

For fans of: Convenience Store Woman and Luster!
