This insightful, illustrated case study is perfect for people looking for a fun introduction to the KonMari Method of tidying up, as well as tried-and-true fans of Marie Kondo eager for a new way to think about what sparks joy.
This worked well as a manga! I read the book when it came out, and have watched one of the episodes of her shows, so I’m familiar with her method but wanted a refresher. The framing story she used worked well to explain her philosophy and was cute 😊
I got all inspired to start purging stuff while I was reading but once I finished reading it sounded way too daunting of a project to start 😂
I thought it was a little funny they changed the manga to read left to right instead of right to left like a traditional manga, but I guess they were shooting for a broader audience who wouldn’t be put off by a formatting difference.
