Story
The story was told in a coalesce of monologue and introspection on a kid's perspective. No plot devices, no unnecessary drama, and almost no impact at all - not that it's a bad thing though considering if you don't take it at face value. There's something about the simplicity of the story that begs your inner self to "please delve in deeper and reflect" and that's what I exactly did halfway through.
Art
Art is simple which fits the plot perfectly.
Character
There are only a few key characters in this manga, where a kid protagonist have set the tone of the story. The kid is lively, witty, a dreamer, serious at times and thoughtful.
Enjoyment
For a manga that's only 5 chapters long, enjoyment is easy to tell since there's not that much to explore. I enjoyed this manga because it made me self-reflect and think maybe a bit too much to even bother making a review for it.
Overall
This narrative, in my conclusion, is about people who wants to break free from their societal (predestined) roles but just can't because everyone tells them to just suck it up. The desire to break free from expectations is there, but self-preservation is much stronger to ignore. The kid (and the other key character) is like an embodiment those people. That's slice of life for you. Maybe I got too involved while reading this manga and made too much sense to something that is not really there. Yet, think about it - that maybe one of the conclusion the mangaka wants to deliver: to suck it up altogether.
