"Mado kara Madoka-chan" is about the random interactions that happen between Madoka-chan and our typical salaryman MC. It's a nice read for when you're sitting on the bus with a couple minutes to spare as chapters aren't too long, and you can skip around since the plot continuity isn't important.

Why does Madoka-chan do these things? Does she want to help him? Is it just fun for her? Is she just bored? Maybe we'll find out.

So far the series does not disappoint with all the random occurrences we see at Madoka-chan's window, and I eagerly await whats next to come. I'm enjoying this series so ... far, and I hope that you'll give it a try too.

Edit: Holy hell, I just read the last chapter recently and it's beautiful.

There's not much need of giant review for this series.

Mado Kara Madoka Chan is a simple episodic gag-comedy series based around the idea of a girl named Madoka who opens a new shop out of her room's window every time the male lead happens to pass by. It could be a sushi place one day, but a shooting range the next day. Part of the charm of the series comes from what random thing the adorable Madoka chan will be doing, which is often unexpected.

It's a cute and adorable episodic series, with a charming art-style that may need some getting used to, but ... nothing terrible.

I like simple things. Sometimes, I just want to read a short and simple manga, without a complicated story or dramatic themes. And Mado kara Madoka-chan is a manga that fits exactly this.

As you might have guessed, Mado kara Madoka-chan doesn't have a complicated story. It's just a sweet story, revolving around Madoka and Oda, with their interactions being made through a window. And somehow, this manga never strays from this. Although it might be a turnoff for some people, who may think it's repetitive and whatnot, I really enjoyed this simple story.

Like the story, the art is good too. The character designs, although simple, ... are quite good. They don't have any abnormal character designs (maybe apart from the fact that Madoka doesn't have a mouth), but they fit perfectly in the setting of this manga. Furthermore, the backgrounds and environment in which this manga took place was good too. Although this entire manga is set in only one location, it was quite impressive how the author managed to create different environments in this location for every single chapter.

Mado kara Madoka-chan features only two characters: Madoka and Oda. Like the story, these characters are quite simple. Oda is a tired office worker who gets to relax when he meets Madoka. The interactions between the two of them are quite sweet, with Madoka entertaining Oda with a new activity in each chapter. There is not much to say about them both, except that they are a sweet pair that complements each other. However, it is important to note that there was little to no character development throughout this manga. Personally, this was not a huge deal for me, especially considering it was a slice of life, but I did wish for a bit more development to be seen.

Overall, I quite enjoyed this manga. I had quite a fun time seeing the interactions between Madoka and Oda, and the various activities this pair did. Although this manga may seem simple, it's its simplicity that make it so enjoyable. If I had to describe this manga in one word, it would just be "fun". It's a fun manga, with no complex story or characters. It has one purpose in mind, and it's purpose is to make its reader smile. If ever you want to relax or smile, I'm sure Madoka will open her window to let you enter the world of Mado kara Madoka-chan.

This is about Madoka a girl who lives in a room, really. I like this storyline. although it has the same background but I never felt bored. Their comedy and actions are very interesting, it's not really boring.

The Background and Character Design is very good although a bit old. Even though they have the same background but this is very interesting, each chapter has its own charm and that makes it interesting.

I really enjoyed this manga, even though I read it all at once but I did not feel bored to read it.

Some things that make me uncomfortable is that Madoka ... or MC of this manga have limitations in communication, I'm sure you won't see Madoka open her mouth, and I doubt that Madoka has a mouth, lol.

This will be a good inspiration, at least the window can make you feel happy, that's what I feel after reading this.

tl;dr: A series of short amusing episodes about a lot of different things.

This manga is about a salaryman named Oda that passes by the window of the home of a woman named Madoka on his way to and from work. However, every time he passes by the window opens up to something completely different, such as a sushi shop, an arcade, a gym, an aquarium, etc. It’s never really explained how this can be the case, but Oda never really questions it so the reader is also expected to also just go with it. Thus, the manga is essentially entirely just Madoka doing various activities ... which results in various forms of comedy with no overarching plot.

There is a lot of variety to these activities, though I did feel that there were too many food related ones. There’s also variation in terms of whether Madoka is incredibly competent at what she’s doing, which is most of the time, or completely incompetent, which also occurs a decent amount. There’s also variation in terms of activities where Oda gets involved and activities where Oda merely watches and comments. Thus, the overall variety is high enough that even without anything overarching it keeps the manga pretty interesting throughout

Each activity only lasts for a single chapter too, which is about 8 pages, so it moves through them very quickly. For the most part, they’re mostly a slow build up to a central punch line with some light humor on the sides as well. The humor is pretty much entirely centered around Oda acting as a straight man to whatever ridiculous things Madoka is doing, but due to the variety to everything she does the comedy is pretty solid throughout. Madoka also essentially never speaks and Oda just happens to know what she wants to convey which works well in getting a lot of content into the low page count.

The ending gets a bit more serious, though it’s still pretty light, and while it’s something that didn’t feel like was explicitly built up to at any point in the manga, it felt like I’d seen enough of Oda and Madoka in amusing situations to be invested in them enough to find the ending incredibly cute and satisfying anyway. The art wasn’t that great but it felt like it managed to do what it needed to well enough.
