I recently finished this book and now I have to let everyone know about it. It's funny, a quick read, and so well translated I didn't feel like I was reading a translation at all. The main character, a college graduate, must do her own job as well as get coffee for and clean up the mess left by the men she works with. So to avoid all that, she pretends she's pregnant.

Aspects of this book reminded me so much Laura's Kriska's memoir Accidental Office Lady, when Laura was a recent college grad working in Japan in the late 80's, and found out she was expected to serve tea.
