This is the story of Tokyo sales clerk Keiko Furukura. Keiko is an unusual person. She's someone who has never fit in - but when she takes a job at Smile Mart, she finally finds peace and purpose in her daily tasks. But there is also huge pressure on Keiko - to pursue a "real" career, to find a husband - and she feels forced to take desperate action in order to please the people around her.
