I laughed out loud several times while reading this, and I fell in love with Kumiko. I don't think I quite got the full picture of the ending, but it was still such a great read! It's a mixture of humor and worry and care and irritation all bound up in one fairly simple story. I particularly loved the art style for the shadow and its creatures.
