"The Convenience Store Ballerina" makes the cut for 
​
The Best Asian Short Stories 2019.

​An excerpt: 
​
"Was his a thankless job? It all came down to perspective. The way Tanaka saw it, garbage collecting wasn't about cleaning up after others; it was a civil duty, a responsibility to keep the town clean--his town—and get paid for it. Besides, he enjoyed the solitude and the restfulness of the city after dark. But there were nights when the city wouldn’t sleep. When he and Watanabe would happen on strange things, like husbands beating their wives, kitchens on fire, high schoolers petting in parks, passed-out drunks—men and women—and sometimes, altercations. Once, they watched as a foreigner, an Englishman someone said, stand on his roof in his underwear and scream down at the police who were forced to dodge roof tiles which the crazed gaijin pitched at them. Nighttime was for those who couldn’t handle the daytime."
