The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up: A Magical Story by Marie KondōMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book takes Kondo's method and wraps it in a manga story, which works quite well. The story follows a young woman who finds her home cluttered with stuff and she contacts Kondo for help. The visual medium does a good job of showing how her method works. Plus, this story makes applying the method more relatable. There is a little bit of a romance and character history as they go through all the stuff that has accumulated.
The art was pretty nice. Many of the elements that turn me off to manga art were missing in this book. Everything was clean and easy to read. The method is applied to the life of a single woman, so it would be interesting to see how it would work in the context of a couple or a large family where things might not be so cut and dry. Overall, this was a fun read and a bit different from the books I normally pick up.
