tl;dr: An incredibly shallow manga that’s still pretty interesting and has fantastic art.
The initial premise of this manga involves the standard kind of lame protagonist Itou suddenly finding an approximately three-inch tall tsundere girl named Haru, and with her not having anywhere else to go he decides to take her in until they can figure out what’s going on. Stuff relating to this in a rom-com sense does kind of persist throughout the manga, but honestly it felt like a small part of the manga. In addition to that there’s all sorts of crazy stuff, ranging from a terminator like girl, cocoa, a love triangle,
...
a gravure idol scandal, a death game, a weirdo reporter, random character’s being shown having sex for no reason, tiny people trying to take over the world, sci-fi pseudo-babble, ethical pseudo-babble, an apocalypse, a post-apocalypse, and even a post-post-apocalypse. It feels less like the manga had any sort of story it was trying to tell, and more like it was just doing its best to throw something new and interesting in each chapter without caring about cohesiveness or consistency. Because of that, ultimately, it’s incredibly shallow.
However, despite that, it somehow manages to flow well and remain pretty engrossing. While the plot, characters, etc. are completely nonsense that don’t feel like they’re going anywhere and ultimately don’t so they’re not worth getting invested in at all, the twists are still pretty interesting and enough to make you want to keep reading just to see what the hell is going on and what crazy thing will happen next, and the comedy is also pretty solid throughout. The manga is also not very long and goes pretty fast, wherein it’s seven volumes but has really big panels and not all that much text so it feels a lot shorter. And the art makes very good use of those large panels, being both very high quality and with a style that’s really nice to look at, especially as the manga’s in full color mostly. So overall, I’d say this is the type of manga you just enjoy the ride on without getting invested in or thinking about too much.
