It doesn't take the longest time to consume sweets. They are confectionery for the side, but they are by no means not important. It does its job well in providing the sugar necessary for, well, sweet tastes. That's kinda like Little Little.
It's a small story, with not much to tell. It's a little like a fairy tale aided by its uncountable and exponentially growing cat girls appearing, but it all suffices and serves well. This syrupy-sweet story aims only to tell the superficial and elevated ups and downs that come with a world of its kind. The main girl has her fair shares of relatable (even if outdated) circumstances, coupled with having a blast in life. Aside from the fact that nothing is really "in-depth" (not that that is even relevant), what's there not to like?
Little Little however never really tried being powerful. As stated before, the story "aims only to tell the superficial and elevated". I feel led to believe that with or without dialogue, we would have been met with the same feel regardless. It's a series of events, but not one that had explored the power of being mute. I suppose one could argue that it being mute was a way to enhance any and every moment, though these moments in themselves were nothing that comes across as something to leave a lasting impression. They did their job and simply moved on. It's a shame, but it may also be a case of clashing standards and preferences.
The art is like something out of a shoujo manga. There's a shameless amount of huge moe eyes, sparkles, and every cliche in the book. You name it. Ironically the demographic is seinen. Regardless, whilst nothing original with art in itself. It fits. It makes everything the way it should be, and there's no real problem with anything I saw whilst reading it. The backgrounds looked nice and the characters looked nice. My only issue with it was, well, nothing really. It just doesn't have any touch to it that would merit any more praise than just "good job".
It is really just a sweet treat. Maybe not as profound as others desserts, but it is edible to eat and go with no issue. It's fast to read and it's enjoyable. I suppose many people would love to taste the wholesomeness of this manga too, I mean, why not? Who doesn't love a bit of wholesomeness? Unfortunately, there is better out there, maybe not on a level playing field, but there is still better than can deliver. This is just a fairytale-esque work; it works, but nothing of a profound memory was born, unfortunately. I'd still recommend it though, have some no dialogue manga on your list or if you are like me looking for fast reads (or in this case "read"), this is not one to skip.
Why not have a little (little) treat?
