I really wanted to like this series. I bought it originally because of the cover art being as cute as it is, and because the series was on sale on the Kindle. I didn't like it, though.

To start off, the layout of the panels is a little strange. I couldn't concentrate on what was going on since everything was so small inside the 8 panels that were squished onto a page. Even on my tablet, which has a 10.5 inch screen, I couldn't really see what was going on and I was straining my eyes just trying to read everything and take in the background.

The characters were also really flat. You have Kawawa, who is this super bubbly "I don't mind if I do everything around the house, I think it's fun" type of person, and then you have Kasumi, who eats her body weight in food and then immediately falls asleep, overheats when it's 50 degrees outside, goes along with whatever Kawawa wants to do (but very sluggishly because she's always tired and overheating).

A whole lot of nothing happened, and I did not enjoy my time reading this book. It was just chores and school and Kasumi sleeping. Reading this almost put me to sleep.
