Decent at best not worth the watch. While no doubt the characters are cute and the background looks nice there is no covering the poor plot. Manga creation is a steady hard working job like most jobs. Requires skill, effort and a lot of money. They expect the viewers to be okay with the idea of not only an entire cast of amateurs trying their luck in the field but amounting to success? Sure, weird stuff has happened that can't be explained. Like what is up with area 51? Or the constant discovery of new creatures. But to say a gang of ... school girls will have what it takes to run a proper manga is too much.

Looking past the poor plot and into each episode's content we see no improvement. While there an occasional comical retort or scene it isn't enough to stop me from fixating on how fast the cycle of progression is. A good manga allows the reader or viewer to relax and sink into what is happening. It is not meant as an old fashion Garfield strip. The point being those strips were meant for seconds of time. Art was nice for those but the fun lied within the words. Once the word bubbles were read that was mainly it for strips. But with manga it is more complex. While they both share text and pictures they provide more impact. Pictures are more detailed. Words are not told in simple joke form but in story form. With that education provided imagine one's feelings to when after a set time of a little past three minutes the episode cuts off. Disappointment comes to mind.
