Synopsis

Yumi Tanaka is fed up with her office job. Despite pushing herself to stay committed, she feels her hard work is ignored and her colleagues ostracize her. On the brink of giving up, Yumi one day finds a discarded ragged doll; even in its current state, it continues to wear a smile. Seemingly relating to its condition, Yumi takes the doll home and mends it, naming it Kurumi. The tight-knit relationship the two come to form may just be the string of happiness Yumi needs to stitch together her path to a brighter future.

 Enter the life of Yumi Tanaka; a socially inept office lady who thinks lowly of herself. After stumbling upon a sentient doll that deems to bring happiness to its owners, Yumi's life began to change for the better. 
 For a relatively short read we got to see Yumi's healthy development of becoming a better person, that doesn't feel forced or shallow in a way that got me intrigued as to how it will goes down. The story itself is cute and simple, and ...

A story about a girl and a doll. But also, a story about the small joys that make the pressures of adult life bearable. A story about learning to become yourself.

There's a lot to love here. Yumi is a highly relatable character, awkward among her work peers and a misfit in general.

It's a story about a girl and a doll.

The characters are kind of plain but you can't expect much in a single volume manga.

The enjoyment is something very subjective, since some might like action, others like myself, prefer a more chill experience that attracts ...
