Convenience Store Woman
Sayaka Murata · 文藝春秋 Bungeishunjū, Tokyo (true first) — Grove Press, New York (first in English) · 2016
No book-club edition of the Japanese first is documented. In Japan the mass-market reprint is the 文春文庫 bunko paperback (4 September 2018, ISBN 978-4-16-791130-0) — a distinct later issue, not the first; any bunko-format copy is a reprint. The Portobello/Granta softcover (UK) and later Grove Press paperbacks are separate or subsequent issues, not the first English printing.
