Review:
I guess I wanted this series to
be more like Yotsuba&!, but even
similar to Lucky Star would have been
okay. Instead, the humor didn’t match up for me.
There’s a small group of kids going
to this tiny school in an equally tiny town. One of the girls is new, having
just moved there. There’s a lot of odd small-farm-town life, with animals, and
not a lot of things to keep the kids entertained.
Mostly it was just meh. I didn’t
laugh all the way through, only small things here and there did I really like.
None of the characters stood out for me. It was okay, but I’ve read better, and I probably won't stick with it.
