Wasted potential

Man I was really looking forward to reading this, it looked so cute! It's an episodic slice-of-life about a girl working at a store owned by a frog! But the stories were dull and the humor fell flat.

The protagonist has basically no personality, so there's not much of a dynamic between her and the frog 店長. And tbh the frog character's not all that interesting either other than him being a frog. It would have been better if A) the main girl was given even a little bit of personality other than "I'm a girl and my boss is a frog" or B) the manga was from the perspective of the frog and he was given a bit more personality as well

But this manga does provide quite a bit of onomatopoeia practice! Which, by the way, if you're not aware of the JADED Network Japanese onomatopoeia dictionary, here you go :) Now you can read the sound effects in かわずや or preferably a better manga.
