"Honestly? This was really helpful. And if I’m being honest with myself, I was never going to read Marie Kondo’s actual book. But manga? It was fun to digest the information like that! I even took notes! I’ve slated 2020 as the year of tidying up, and this was 1) extremely good advice and 2) a fun story to portray what I need to be doing in my own life. I’ve tackled clothes and books before reading this, but my downfall is paper and sentimental items, so I’ll use this to fuel me on finishing the rest!"

"Fun read, for fans of Komodo, not manga. I hate the reversed “western” layout."
