Personal Opinion
I think it has a great balance between being pretty easy and enjoyable to read (the gags made me chuckle out loud). It combines elements of Yotsubato (a young girl whose misunderstandings often lead to hilarity) and Nichijou (a precocious inventor with a penchant for useless inventions). The language is very approachable: slice-of-life vocab and relatively short sentences. The chapters are also quite short, so reading it has felt like a bit of a snack 
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Furigana
- Vocab is slice-of-lifey
- Relatively short sentences (the main character is a kid, after all)
- Pretty funny (in my opinion, at least )
- Finished series, only 6 volumes, so a potential off-shoot club wouldn’t go on forever
Cons
- Individual stories instead of an overarching plot (which could also be a pro to some)
- For those who like a more realistic style, the art might be a bit too simplistic
- The occasional pun might require some collective sleuthing
