It's a weird-ass little manga that'll take you at best a long bathroom-break to complete, what do you even want me to sell you ? I spent more time writing this review than reading it ffs

The premise is intriguing and it ends up being actually pretty funny, you really feel like the author drew their lil thing for their own fun and without thinking much of it, and to me it's the secret ingredient to its inimitable, refreshing and lighthearted taste. I was attached to the characters after two pages and i audibly scoffed on several occasions, which is more than some well-known gag mangas ... got out of my dried-out cynical carcass.

Also the art style is super expressive and half the panel would make for banger reaction-pics.

This very short manga shows us the daily misfits and quirks of one very shy girl, working in a pharmacy, who has odd banters with one of her customers.

The story is not existant, but considering it's few pages is quite understandable, the art in general is alright, and the design of the main heroine is admirable, simplistic, but very sweet. The characters are presented just right, and the main appeal of the manga is the quirky, funny and pretty much odd conversations between these two.

If you're looking for a strange, short read, or just something lighthearted with comedic approach, ... you may enjoy this manga.

Pochiyama at the Pharmacy is a slice of life one shot manga that is strangely intriguing, but leaves us seemingly empty handed.

What we get to experience is an episode and interaction in the life of Pochiyama and a normal highschool age boy Taki. The story is basically non existant, but what makes it interesting though is the weird habits of Pochiyama. I found her character to be the best part of this work.

In the end it feels like a chance meeting of what could've been an interesting relationship, but i suppose that is the problem with most one-shots.

It's a real short story so ... i would suggest taking a look at it if you have the time.
