For a long time Megumi Sasaki felt that something did not quite fit.
The feeling settled like a shawl around her shoulders ¡ª she tried to shake it off but couldn¡¯t.
¡°It wasn¡¯t that I disliked Tokyo or college,¡± says Sasaki, recalling her days as a French literature student at Aoyama Gakuin University in the metropolis. ¡°But everyone thought I was a bit strange. I wasn¡¯t into the stuff everyone else was into. I was never your typical college girl, carrying brand handbags and going to Roppongi. Sometimes I would look around and wonder what I was doing there.¡±
