Kotonoba Drive · review
"Relaxing your speed can open up mysterious gaps, even in familiar places" tldr: really easy/relaxed manga to read; no complex storyline, just everyday slice of life. its short, sadly. you need to slow down and take in every page/drawing to enjoy this manga. As I await Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Omnibus 4 physical book next year (2024), with a new e-reader for night reading (Kobo Libra 2), I decided to choose this manga, since its the same author. I really wanted more from the author. I loved this person's take on seeing beauty in everyday life. Suu-chan, the main character, does everyday life in the story, from vistitingfriends, working etc. For moments in her day (each chapter), something happens extraordinary that no one sees except her.
Each chapter really does take 5 mins. Each page really forced me to imagine/feel what was going on in the story. It definitely taught me to slow down and actually take in whats going on, with very sparse visuals it has. If you are able to do that, youll enjoy this manga.
Really nice read overall. Its a little short, and somewhat thought provoking about slowing down/seeing extraordinary things in ordinary places
