This work is very entertaining, but it suffers the fact of being of short publication. At first I thought it was echie although it turns out to be a soft romance with comedy and dialogues about art.

Personally I do not recommend it for someone who is not used to short stories or conclusive episodes since it has that feeling of slow progression. Something curious is that most of the chapters present a scene in the art room and develop an internal monologue with the female protagonist.
The general feeling I was having was "an incomplete modest work" , lack of romance but original and ... fresh. Maybe it is not for a reader with long manga preferents but the drawing is good enough to forget that it is a short publication.
Please give it a try if you are looking for something fresh but short on content.

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.

✦Story
I went in expecting simply good lewd fanservice with comedy, but once I were done with it. Instead of finding it lewd I found it extremely adorable and wholesome.

It had great balance between sexy approach yet extremely heart-warming love story.

... I enjoyed it.

✦Art
Very pleasant Art style, and with the whole modelling fanservice approach with that hot thick girl who discovered surprising fetish she had and at the same time hew own feelings over time, was simply well presented.

✦Character
Not much to add aside main female lead being extremely adorable with somewhat kinky side. I did really enjoy seeing her meltdown and reactions.

Aside that, rest of characters are also rather oddballs and interesting. Did enjoy them for the most part.

✦Enjoyment & Overall
Expected sexy painting sessions. Ended with wholesome experience where ecchi element became simply a cute-fest.

tl;dr: A short and sweet comedy manga focused around an artist and his model. 

This manga is a comedy focused manga that's really short and sweet. There are twenty-five chapters, but each is usually around 10 pages so it's really not that long at all. That does seem to work pretty well though. The characters are pretty flat, but what they do have personality wise is greatly exaggerated, so they come out as pretty funny. The short chapters also results in things having to move really fast, which results in a brisk pace that I also think works pretty well in terms of quick humor. Though the short structure also results in a plot ... that is very minimalist, basically just focusing on Megumi's feelings in response to Eda drawing her and such. Still, with the ending they very much had to rush it due to time constraints and not having it built up at all up to that point, but in terms of characters and relationships it was pretty amazing and a great way to end. The art was a solid, though the framing of Megumi posing and such was what really made it stand out.
