The study proposes an investigation on problems of textual organization and reading, focused on the construction and suggestion of everyday life notions. Frédéric Boilet's Yukiko's Spinach is analyzed to understand the consolidation of a day-by-day routine, which is studied through three axes: the small-scale actions choice (what is seen), the narrativization of trivia (how they are seen and structured), and the articulation of them (composing a kind of everyday life labyrinth). The paper discusses the ordinary as a subject and narrative problem. The analysis is interested not only in how everyday life is presented, but how its traces pervade the fruition indicated by textual marks. Notions from aesthetic, semiotic, and narratology studies are associated to note the relationship between text and reading, then linking authors as Ben Highmore, Michael Sheringham, Michel de Certeau, Thierry Groensteen, Benoît Peeters, and Scott McCloud. The common life invokes something that holds the strong ambivalence between boredom and strangeness, their continuity and rhythm, and so as part of the human experience, with focus on mundane actions and interpersonal relationships.
