— Marie Kondō (The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up: A Magical Story)
The Review:
I do not read many graphic novels. But I have seen the tv show and know the general concept. To be honest, I enjoyed this so much more than I thought, and even bought the physical copy for the guys in my life who love comics.
The story was illustrating and touching in a way I didn’t expect, but it did show how to best organize things in your life so you don’t feel so cluttered. This is a definite purchase if you want a simple explanation to de-clutter!

The Summary:
Marie Kondo presents the fictional story of Chiaki, a young woman in Tokyo who struggles with a cluttered apartment, messy love life, and lack of direction. After receiving a complaint from her attractive next-door neighbor about the sad state of her balcony, Chiaki gets Kondo to take her on as a client. Through a series of entertaining and insightful lessons, Kondo helps Chiaki get her home–and life–in order.
This insightful, illustrated case study is perfect for people looking for a fun introduction to the KonMari Method of tidying up, as well as tried-and-true fans of Marie Kondo eager for a new way to think about what sparks joy. Featuring illustrations by award-winning manga artist Yuko Uramoto, this book also makes a great read for manga and graphic novel lovers of all ages.
