Gimmick! revolves around one of the most basic concepts of modern Manga: a protagonist does one thing, and does it well. Kohei Nagase is not a spots professional, nor a ninja, nor a super-spy. He is a special effects artist. Specifically, he focuses on make-up effects, although he tries his hand in pyrotechnics and other sleight of theatre...

An interesting premise: Kohei Nagase is a makeup and special effects master who helps people in need: trouble with the law? hiding out from an abusive ex? fanatical fan won't leave you alone? Studio Gimmick is here to help! A little bit serious and a whole lot silly this first volume ends on a cliff hanger (I hate that!) as one of Kohei's creations is co-opted by bad guys.
I wish the hero weren't such a perv. It's a cheap joke, and I think the series really can stand on its own merits. All the background information about special effects and make-up tricks is pretty fascinating. The art is also really well-done.
This manga was about Nagase Kohei, who works as special effects artist and gets into predicaments (and such)
Its a really funny series, the first was of course one of the best to read, I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone, I hope everyone gets to reading this really awesome book, and all the others in the series.
