In manga form, this book gives us a cute story as a way to explain how to tidy up your life! It provides a very helpful list of ways in which to reorganize your things, from folding clothes to discarding useless paper and things that you say you'll need someday but never use. I am a semi-messy person who tends to keep a lot of papers. clothes, and random stuff. I am going to implement what I've learned tomorrow to discard anything that doesn't bring me joy. :)
