Takeout Sushi is a collection of 17 illustrated short stories set mostly in contemporary Japan that explore feelings of belonging, displacement, and the strangeness of everyday human interaction.

In an innovative, fast-paced company, a man’s job comes under threat when a team of robots are brought in to replace the HR department. A husband’s search for shortcuts to his domestic tasks goes painfully wrong. Overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, a foreigner takes a weekend break and discovers something other than solitude in the mountains.

Marking Christopher Green’s debut adult fiction and inspired by his own experiences, these whimsical slice-of-life tales are full of heart and humour — perfect for fans of Convenience Store Woman and Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

Christopher Green was born in Middlesbrough, UK. He has also lived in South Africa, Germany and, since 1994, Japan, where he works for an IT company. He started writing shortly after moving to Japan, and one of his short stories was published in a magazine a few years later. Chris and his Japanese wife live just outside of Tokyo with their daughter. His hobbies include writing poor haiku in Japanese and playing darts badly—but not at the same time!
