Sinossi
E se un giorno, a sedici anni, ti trovassi improvvisamente ridotta alle dimensioni di una Barbie? Come la metteresti con il tuo ragazzo?

Strange, charming, pervy, cute? Uchida’s line is so endearing. I really liked the art. The wobbly, uniform lines and chibi style look fantastic and compliment the offbeat story. Not amazing, but it was good. I’ll read more of her work if it’s available in English.
Before reading: 'Oh haha, I've seen the Netflix adaptation of this, it was pretty funny, cute and just a bit kooky'. While reading: 'Oh haha, this is a lot more racy than the Netflix adaptation! It's surprisingly astute and glib. Also I don't think the original text used the equivalent of 'neuro-dive Leggi tutto
This was so fucked up.
