Of course, I had to start this today! 
I was dying of cuteness overload pretty much the whole time because this tiny shark is just. so. cute! Ahhh 
I love him so much you guyssss 
My face the whole time reading 
This manga has…almost no text, so it’s really not the best choice for reading practice if that is your main aim xD However, if your main aim is to see a baby shark doing supremely adorable things, then this is the best manga and I can highly recommend it 
Here's part of my favorite chapter, baby shark goes to a movie :33333
Look at how small he is on the counter
