Side notes: This manga hasn't got a huge support from the readers yet. It can be due of the newness of the translation project or that it's not fitting their idea of "horror." The cleanness and polished style isn't the best fit for the genre, I suppose. It reminds a lot of shoujo in some aspects so that the "scary" things aren't easy to imagine to be really scary. Still it's a mystery why the transformation from big to small happened only some humans. Although I'm also wondering how the cats suddenly became like they became and the birds flocking the skies (Alfred Hitchcock...?). As a reader one can't shake it off that this is Seinen manga after all.
Characters:
Yukko
A high school girl age 13-15 (?) who one morning turned into miniature self like Thumbelina. As she searched her parents she came across a reality that she couldn't believe. Due of the circumstances she only could hide in her room and wait.
Poco, family pet dog
Stays normal size and loyal to the family.
Alice, A cosplayer (?)
She helps Yukko when she's in trouble and decides to go with her when she is going to look for her friends outside the prefecture. It's not clear yet does she actually speak Japanese or not but at least she seems to understand Japanese.
Takeshi
A working man that was returning from night shift to home when he got suddenly small. He follows with Yukko 'cause he wishes to find his family.
