"Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're going to get" just like me when i first read this manga.

When i read or watch a story the first thing that comes into my mind is not "how the story will end" or "what twist that will happen in the end of story" but it's always "what is the author trying to tell the readers with this story in the end". This manga is the best representation of that. This one may not have an amazing plot or amazing twist but this one definitely has many amazing lessons that you will learn ... on your journey while reading this manga. You wont get what makes this manga really good if your expectation is to find an amazing plot or amazing twist in the end. This manga will be a little bit boring and confusing to read if you set your goal like that but instead if you set your goal to find "what the author is trying to tell the readers" then you will know all of the amazing plot and twists from this manga based only from that info you have found.

- Story 10/10
The plot of this manga is that we, as readers follow a little girl's journey to find out what the true meaning of happiness is. It's a little bit cliche plot but the the manga explains each step very well. There is a big twist in the end that makes many readers feel really confused. But as i said before if you already know the meaning of the story then you will know the truth behind the plot and all of that confusing twist as well.

-Character 10/10
This is really embarrassing for me because the main character in this manga, a little girl, has given me so many life lessons that even so many adults don't know, including me. Apart from that, the main character in this story has a cheerful, smart, and also a little bit cocky personality that will give you many good catchphares and analogy a long the way. She's not a flawless character but that's what make her and her character's development so good.

-Art 9/10
This manga has art that is very strict but adorable at the same time which I think fits the storyline of this manga very well.

-Overall 10/10
Well, if you are looking for a manga that will leave you speechless when you finish reading it then this is the manga you are looking for. In the end this manga is like an ice-cream cone, you have to learn to lick it so you can discover what's amazing about it.

If you're going into this having read I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (another work by the same author and artist), you will be disappointed. If you're going into this without having read I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, stop and go read that instead. The first half of this manga pissed me off. Every message it reaches is used to beat you over the head, drilling it into you in an unbearably obvious and condescending way. The plot doesn't feel like it's going anywhere until a little over halfway through. Even near the end when I realized what it was trying to do, I ... just facepalmed. The ending is fine I guess, but good god this manga is almost unbearably corny. It has its high points, and a good message overall, but it's sickly sweet and told like a fairy tale for 5 year olds. I expected a lot more from this author in all honesty.

Ok hold up.


You probably seen the other reviews and you might also be aware that this manga comes from the author of "I want to eat your pancreas" and "Kakushigoto", but unlike those previous works that I mentioned, this one is garbage, the only reason that I didn't rate this any lower, is because it's short and I'd rather read this again, than to watch SAO. This manga's main gimmick is "happiness" or at least how the characters and narrative discusses it, and the execution was as bland as it's premise. It was uninspired and it feels like a 5 years old child wrote it. ... Overall this is just an undeveloped melodrama cringefest that will make you band your head against the wall, and you can't uses the because it's short excuse, because there's a lot of oneshots having better writing and development than this.
