Makes Understanding It Easier

I got all three books and when I was reading through the first, I have to admit, it sounded hokey to me and not realistic. I understood the principles of it all. But this Manga made it fun, and seeing it in "action" encouraged me to look at my stuff in a different way than when I was reading about. Im also a visual and hands on learner so that probably helps. Overall, would recommend this over the book itself to get an understanding of the concept. Much easier to read and its fun.

Super cute and helpful book :)!

I've always had a big problem with tidying and cleaning. And I have a hard time reading things without visuals (I also just love reading graphic novels), so this book is a wonderful way to learn how to tidy up in a positive and peaceful way :)! So I definitely recommend if you're wanting to learn to be tidy :).
