This manga in terms of tone was very different from what I expected. Despite having to do with the eroge industry, it was surprisingly tame, wherein not much really happens really. Like the scenes they're acting out are obviously ero, but that doesn't bleed much into their actual lives. Rather, it felt for the most part that it was trying to be more cute than ero. I can see the appeal in that, gap moe but kind of in reverse, though I'm not much of a fan. In terms of story, it was decent. The story felt like it was dragging on at times, especially when it was starting out, but once it started adding in new characters it remained interesting enough, even though it did feel like nothing was really happening at times. It felt like there were two kind of storylines, one regarding the various characters growth within the industry and interactions therein, and the other involving romance. The former worked out pretty well with a lot of solid growth and it ultimately coming to a pretty great conclusion. It also made a good point about not being judgmental, but to some degree considering the likely audience it's probably preaching to the choir. The whole story regarding romance between Kanna and Motoki, with the random side with Ayame, was much more of a mess. It was incredibly random, and to a large degree didn't even make sense. I have no idea what they were trying to do with it, and though it ultimately had a conclusion that seems solid enough, it should have happened long ago and how long the buildup was simply didn't work. Regarding both of these aspects, I think the cast of characters was really good, and I was fond of pretty much the entire main cast, who were all weird but pretty awesome. The comedy was reasonably solid, though kind of repetitive. The art and designs were quite plain.
