Not going to lie, but this was a miss for me. Both Yume and Nozomi are written in a way that is clearly intended to be funny, but instead, they're just annoying. The mystery of why Nozomi is tiny with no memories of her prior life is the only interesting part of the story, but it's barely talked about until the final chapter. The relationship between Yume and Nozomi is also kind of grating. Nozomi is only mean to Yume, but Yume is constantly drunk so she doesn't even notice. Also, this is an ecchi comedy. I'm really not into ecchi stories, and I wish the manga had been labeled properly. The random sexual scenes of Nozomi, who is a teenager, were really uncomfortable to read. Also...this is a minor thing that threw me, but what is with them showing Yume's bare feet like...all the time? Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but it's weird. It happened enough that I noticed it, and that in itself is weird. Even though I'm curious about why Nozomi woke up as a tiny person, I doubt I'll be seeking out the next volume. The art style is okay, but it's nothing to write home about.… (más)

This graphic novel is interesting. A 16-year-old high school girl wakes up just a little above 4 inches tall. She remembers nothing before she woke up. She’s trying to survive in the house of a 22-year-old shut in woman. She is anxiety ridden and won’t take out her trash, clean etc. In fact, the shut in thinks the little girl is a figment of their imagination. Much of this story is mind banter about each of the characters, and while it goes quickly, it’s kind of annoying. The story picks up towards the end when we meet another a little person and find out who the adult recognizes the little to be. This could be interesting as a series in the hole but I’m not the biggest fan of the art. I really despise when they make the girls in anime overly voluptuous for no reason. They’ve done that here and there is once again no reason.… (más)
