The novel focuses on the daily routine of Keiko Furukura, a female part-time worker in a convenience store who struggles to be acknowledged as a normal person, even if she is single, does not have any romantic relationship or a well-paid job –three stereotypes which have transformed her into an abnormal, asexual being, a maiden deprived of any sex appeal who could not fit in the actual society. In order to get rid of this stigma she learns the “art of imitation” and develops a “shape-shifting strategy”, a bakerumode. Bakeruis a Japanese word which means “to take the form of, to transform into, to disguise oneself as” and this is exactly what she experiments: the speech mode bakeru, the fashion mode bakeru, the emotional mode bakeru, the situational mode bakeru, the absorbing mode bakeru.
