Haha, I have read so many of these little absurd, dark humor based stories, yet they still crack me up, this one is special though due to the art depictions which set up the mood to be different. Everyday situations indeed, everyday life is just absurd and boring, that is why things are called everyday, everyman, boring things. Nice depiction on that topic here.

Acceptance and normalization of the absurd. I am giving this a low rating, as I find this contrary to the relativity and/or newness of certain things or circumstances. Also, I am very particular and biased with art; I do not appreciate how this is drawn, so it might have affected how I took this manga in. If there is dark comedy in this manga at all, I might have missed it as I perceived none. The absurdity of it could be the comedy in itself, but it didn't work for me.
