A Small World

Story- cute and innocent overall. There's no lovers relationship, but instead a parent-child one (which is rare for me). Though it seems incest-ish in some parts of the story; you'll have to read the manga to see what I mean. The scenes Reiji (father) doting on Mei (daughter) are amusing and funny and the story is realistic.

Art- I think you'll agree with me that the art is good. The characters are well-drawn, especially the dad. The character's expression are shown well and can be amusing. The character's also look their ages in my opinion.

Characters- since it's a one shot, you don't get to all know the characters very well except main characters. For the minor characters AKA Mei's friends, the things they say(about Reiji) are to be expected; they actually said the same things I thought. About Reiji, he's doting, amusing, hard working, sweet, and good looking. He's an interesting character and there's more to him than mentioned. Mei is a bit unusal for me. She says things that seems incest-ish, but she cares for Reiji as a dad. Plus she's the only one who's ''immune'' to Reiji's personality.

I enjoyed this manga, and am glad-- even if it's shallow-- that the art is good. If the dad didn't look good looking on the cover, I wouldn't probably read it (meaning I was attracted to the manga when I saw the cover). The art, story, and Reiji's personality was enjoyable enough to keep me reading.

It was surprisingly nice.

The art is good, but nothing extraordinary. Story is much better - typical for manga in some ways (the matter with the Kiriyuus), but still something original.

Firstly I believed that it'll be another incest between father and daughter (OK, he's step-father, but still I don't like it - even if he's young, he's still her father).
Fortunately - there are some quite incestuous fragments, but's it's not romance. Hooray!

The heroine, Mei, is quite normal and nice girl. Her step-father's personality makes him interesting character, but honestly - it's oneshot. And it's fair as the oneshot, but whole story lacked something. I liked that it was about parent-child relationship without any romance, but it's not enough to became good manga.

"A small world" has some strong points - topic and main hero (Reiji) - but that's all. It's too average to be remembered for long.
