This graphic novel is interesting. A 16-year-old high school girl wakes up just a little above 4 inches tall. She remembers nothing before she woke up. She’s trying to survive in the house of a 22-year-old shut in woman. She is anxiety ridden and won’t take out her trash, clean etc. In fact, the shut in thinks the little girl is a figment of their imagination. Much of this story is mind banter about each of the characters, and while it goes quickly, it’s kind of annoying. The story picks up towards the end when we meet another a little person and find out who the adult recognizes the little to be. This could be interesting as a series in the hole but I’m not the biggest fan of the art. I really despise when they make the girls in anime overly voluptuous for no reason. They’ve done that here and there is once again no reason.
