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.

This is a precious and heartwarming story about a woman and her doll.
Yumi is leading a pretty unhappy and lonely life but through Kurumi she finds happiness, love and confidence. Since it's slice of life, it's basically Yumi's daily life where she's mostly at work but Kurumi is that little fantasy element that changes it. The story wraps up pretty quick since it's only 8 chapters but it never gets boring and even has some action.
The art is really cute and detailed, it conveys so much emotion that it even made me cry once or twice.
I will definitley read it again, maybe I'll even sew ...

The art.. omg so pretty!! It was so sparkly and I love the ears in the author’s characters, they’re so cute. 9/10

The characters were cute, and nice, and the small character development with her own image was absolutely adorable as well!! 8/10

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

The story is mostly how she interacts with the doll Kurumi and how the doll changed her to become a better person, meeting new people, working on her own happiness.

The art style is smooth with a nostalgic '00 style that remembers me a lot to the mangas back on those days that felt more heartwarming for it's gentle lines and designs.

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 ...
