Read the full take

Momoko, who dreams of becoming an illustrator, finds employment in an ultra-fast-paced office that specialises in designing pachinko parlours. The office runs on a yakuza-like intensity. The premise is a workplace comedy in which a dreamy artist is thrown into a loud, demanding job.The strength is the contrast. Momoko's artistic dreams clash comically with the office's frantic pace, and the colourful co-workers are fun to meet. The energy of the setting is infectious.The weaknesses are about the pacing and the romance. The story can feel frantic, and the romance is a light background thread. Readers wanting a calm slice of life may find it too busy.Recommended for readers who enjoy lively workplace comedies. Expect a loud, energetic read that is funny in short bursts.
