Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 

The book as a meal: I went out with my friends today and got some street food, it was crispy, salty, and delicious
The book left me: Feeling very much called out, this hit a little too close to home :--(

Why did this call out to me?
I want to get back into reading mangas, s I used to be an avid lurker on the free manga sites. So why not pick up the one manga that is very much a photocopy of my life? 

Pick-up-able? Put-down-able?
Pick-up-able, binged it in one go. Already looking very much forward to reading the next volume. 

Issues:
Formatting of the first few pages seems broken, but it is probably intended for a physical copy

Good things:
Shows different variants of the same type of story
Rep for girls with a different kind of hobby :--) 

How did it feel to read?
It felt like a hug. I was right at home in this story. Empowering, freeing, very much what I needed in this moment

What mood would I read this in?
I would read this either before or after my psychiatrist appointment. As the theme is usually "how come you didn't have many friends in school", because I didn't fit in :--( 

Where does this fall in my tier list ranking?
This is a good ole' A tier. Great and comforting read, will recommend to my other girlies
