Synopsis

When Ranmaru Kurisu left his countryside hometown to attend a university in Tokyo, his awkward and self-loathing nature followed him all the way to the capital. Still as friendless and miserable as ever, it is no surprise that he thinks everything is his fault, even when he finds himself in the middle of a zombie attack—after all, he just ruined a shoot for the film club's latest project. But Ranmaru's apologies are quickly swept aside when he is abducted by the quirky group in charge of the film's practical art: the Art Squad, a small club led by the charismatic Ryuuji Gouda.

Despite constantly struggling with eccentric directors, low budgets, and short deadlines, the Art Squad nevertheless strives for perfection, catering to the backstage needs of all four film clubs at the university. While Ranmaru initially might seem like just a convenient pair of extra hands, his new friends soon realize that he has a lot more to offer, and Ranmaru himself might have finally found a place to let his own talents shine.

Another great way to revisit the best of Bisco Hatori's style. Although a short series (only seven volumes), there is a great overarching character arc for everyone involved in the story. While the ending may feel a little rushed (whenever I see shorter series like this I am curious if it was planned this short or was cancelled), but the story still feels satisfying. In some story settings, you can only do so much. If we continued to do "We have make X for Y genre of movie!" it would get very stale quickly. Thankfully, this manga strikes the perfect balance of paying tribute to ...

Preliminary (34/40 eps)
Here's a criminally underrated manga by a great author.
Urakata!! is a very unique slice of life manga by the same author as the iconic Host Club.
Despite this, it barely got any attention, to the point that right now, finding the last volume i need to complete the series is pretty hard.
I've never met a single person who read this except from my sibling, who borrowed it from me, and it's such a shame.

The art is really good, very shoujo-esque with the use of light, sparkles, flowers etc, almost like a more polished version of the artstyle in Host Club.

The characters are lovable and sometimes deep, ...
