Reminds me a lot of this short story by Murakami: "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" (1981) http://www.youmightfindyourself.com/post/22131227213/on-seei...

It's part of his 'The Elephant Vanishes' short story collection.

I read the story. Very similar to the OP. You mind sending few more links of your favourite Murakami stories?
