Summary:
What would you do if you woke up one day and couldn’t remember anything beyond your name? You’d probably freak out, right? What if you realized that you had been shrunk down to a mere few inches in addition to that mess?
That is Nozomi Koiwa’s new reality. To make matters worse, she’s in a house that belongs to Yume Okubo – a drunken sheet-in NEET. Yume is often drunk, which at least makes it easier for Nozomi to hide from her…
Review:
Huh. Small Nozomi and Big Yume Vol. 1 is an interesting start to a quirky series, to say the least. Both characters have a lot of backstory, though it will take some time before it is all revealed (remembered?).
This is very much an opposites-living-together sort of manga, as both characters couldn’t be more different if they tried. I’m sure the ultimate goal will be that they help each other, which is sweet. But who knows how long that will take!
Small Nozomi and Big Yume Vol. 1 is perfect for readers looking for something different, quirky, and sometimes comical. That said, you might feel pretty bad for Big Yume, who needs a lot of help.
Highlights:
- Manga
- Quirky Characters
- “Honey, I shrunk the high school girl”
Will I continue the series? Eh, I don’t think so.
Thanks to Kodansha Comics and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
