Very funny comedy with touches of love comedy
lichfed14 June 2021
In the beginning you may think that it's just a comedy with a lot of weirdos, and it has some of them, but by watching the episodes, characters get developed, their relations, the drama and the love comedy moments give a really good story.

Very enjoyable.

This slice of life anime series is set in dōjin (self-published manga) shop. Much of what they sell is aimed at the 'adult' market so expect plenty of slightly suggestive jokes without too much fan service this is far more comedy than ecchi.

The cast which includes a girl with a zombie obsession, a man who instinctively knows what title a customer wants, an aspiring mangaka and a government inspector who visits to check the pornography doesn't cross the line while not so secretly loving the material that does are an entertaining bunch. Not much really happens in each episode; we just see the characters daily lives which are laugh out loud funny much of the time; as an example in the final episode two characters are travelling on a train while one is somewhat drunk; we only see their back as they talk but can see the face of a passenger who clearly fears he is going to be vomited on!

The character designs are nice and the animation is decent enough without being anything amazing; the show doesn't really need great animation as it is about laughs not action. Overall this series is a lot of fun but I don't think it will ever be considered a classic still it is worth watching if you want a laugh.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

It's not fun even for an otaku

WORKING!! Even though I used the animation character setting, it's not fun even if the development is predictable.

Above all, I don't feel any charm in expressing the characters of this animation, and the degree of completion is low.

It is only the teacher character who has clear concerns and goals. The other characters are just everyday characters, and the kissing scene is really boring.

I don't know why the charm of an elementary school student, big breasts, tall and silent character is not appealed more.

At least the teacher character was good, but if you clearly showed why you are poor and what kind of past you have, your score might have gone up.

The most disappointing thing is that the cosplay event has no meaning.
