In 2009 Kubo's short story "Mikumari" won the R-18 Literary Award, a prize for erotic short fiction by new women writers.[2] Her first book Fugainai boku wa sora o mita (ふがいない僕は空を見た ), a sexually explicit set of stories about the relationship between a woman seeking fertility treatments and the teenage son of the woman who runs the clinic, was published by Shinchosha in 2010.[3] The next year Fugainai boku wa sora o mita won the 24th Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize.[4] It was later adapted into the 2012 Yuki Tanada film The Cowards Who Looked to the Sky, starring Tomoko Tabata and Kento Nagayama.[5]
Kubo's second book, Seiten no mayoikujira (晴天の迷いクジラ ), a story about three people who travel to see a stranded whale, was published by Shinchosha in 2012.[6] Seiten no mayoikujira won the 3rd Yamada Futarō Prize, which is awarded by Kadokawa Shoten to works in the same artistic spirit as those of mystery writer Futaro Yamada.[7] Several books followed, including the linked story collection Yoru no fukurami (よるのふくらみ ) in 2014,[8] the 2015 novel Sayonara niruvāna (さよなら、ニルヴァーナ, Goodbye, Nirvana), which dramatized an actual case of murder of a young girl by a teenage boy,[9] the 2016 speculative fiction novel Akagami (アカガミ ), which imagined Japan in 2030 after rising youth suicide rates and declining fertility,[10] and the 2017 novel Yameru toki mo sukoyaka naru toki mo (やめるときも, すこやかなるときも ).[11]
An English version of Kubo's early short story "Mikumari", translated by Polly Barton, was published in 2017 by Strangers Press. The next year Kubo's novel Jitto te o miru (じっと手を見る ), a story about relationships among nursing caregivers, was published by Gentosha.[12] Jitto te o miru was nominated for the 159th Naoki Prize and led the voting among selection committee members in the first round, but the prize was awarded to Rio Shimamoto.[13] The following year her story Trinity (トリニティ, Toriniti) was nominated for the 161st Naoki Prize.[14]
