4.5

Having repeatedly watched the anime on Netflix, I decided to try out the manga as I’d been recommended it several times. It’s pretty much exactly like the anime so I enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s comprised of very short slice of life stories that are just absurd. It’s not always laugh out loud funny but I find them all amusing. Definitely going to check out the rest of the manga while I wait for another season of the anime!
