This is Amiko, Do You Copy? (Akutagawa Prize Winner)

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, exuberant nature mostly meets with 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. Subtle, tender and moving, shows us life through the eyes of a unique, irrepressible, neurodivergent young character.
