Read the full take
Kenzaki Ryuunosuke is a new editor for a weekly shounen magazine, but his love for an unpopular series gets him no love from the people around him. That premise is a funny, meta hook, and the series builds its humour on the friction between a passionate editor and a publishing world that cares only about numbers. The industry becomes the stage.The strength is the insight. The meta jokes about manga production are sharp, and the editor's earnest passion gives the comedy warmth. The workplace dynamics are lively.The weaknesses are clear. Ecchi tags sit awkwardly beside the industry satire, and some in-jokes may confuse newcomers. Readers wanting a purely serious drama will find it light.Recommended for readers who enjoy comedies about making manga. Expect a meta, lively ride.
