This might be one of the most nuanced manga I've ever read, and it's about eromanga of all things.

Everything, from the character interactions to everyone's individual flaws, from the story pacing to the resolutions; all of it feels meticulously laid out to be incredibly engaging and genuinely human. Many of the characters here feel like they could be people out there somewhere in the world, and I can only say that for a very select few manga. There's something really special here, and I don't wanna say even a bit about the story itself because I want you to go read it yourself.

It's only 30 ... chapters long, but I will always treasure the time I spent with this manga. Please do yourself a favor and experience it like I did.

It's surprisingly good! I don't normally write reviews, but I think this manga is a hidden gem. It's about erotic material (I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone under 17) and I think I'd call it sex-positive but it's not really a "sexy" manga. If you like stories about creating art and writing stories, character studies, and learning about the work of ero-manga artists in the modern age, I'd recommend it!

The tone of the story is fairly down-to-earth without getting stale-- The two main characters especially are memorable and have good chemistry, but everyone in this story really does feel like they could be a ... real person you know. It also has a very sharp sense of humor, so it doesn't take itself *too* seriously, but it knows the time and place for gags and the story/character drama rarely feels like it's getting sidetracked.

The cast are drawn in a less moé and occasionally goofy style, and (I believe) different guest artists are occasionally brought on to act as the different characters' artstyles. Speaking as an artist, I thought that was pretty cool.
