Not just paragraphs & bulleted lists of instructions but illustrated application. <3 A glimpse of MK's philosophy / steps of practice coming into play in the fictional main character's apartment and life. I learn best from example so enjoyed peeking in as Chiaki re-remembers what brings her joy and streamlines her home to bring that front and center in her life

This book is a true gem. I sorta read Marie's other 2 books, so I knew of her Spark Joy concept. This book however changed everything for me. It's like having Konmari lessons straight from Marie herself. I have already shared this book with others.

I thought there was going to be more paragraphs to read, but it was just a comic. But the great thing was, it was so fun to read. It drew out the methods step by step and I can't wait to implement konmari into my life. Excited!!!
