Box Box Box Box [Japanese]

By 坂本湾 and Wan Sakamoto

The 174th (2025 second half) Akutagawa Prize nominee. The winner of the 62nd Bungei Prize. In a foggy distribution center, worker An sorts endless packages on a conveyor belt, enduring monotony by fantasizing about their contents. Obsessed with verifying his imaginings, he peeks into a forbidden box--then boxes mysteriously vanish one by one. A suspense exposing modern labor's alienation.
