[Fan of fanservice]

This series has a sentimental value that most manga readers will appreciate. Very cool to see the intricacies of the ups and downs in the production of manga is, with a nice rom-com emotional motivator to make the series have growth that feels tangible and more realistic.

I actually teared up when the height of the volume tension was reached and our two protagonist characters had this great moment together where they grew even closer because of Niina letting Uehara know what she thinks of his manga. It was very heart warming and didn’t realize that was something this needed, but it did feel so right.

I can’t wait for the next volume, this author/series has such great designed characters and story, I love this unique take on manga aficionados lol also makes me wish we had weekly/monthly manga magazines like what Uehara was published in, but thanks to we have manga regardless.

This has got to be my favorite one in the series so far! The opportunities, the crunch time in getting a draft and finished product out and when everything is about to go out of control for Miyamoto who shows up on the doorstep, Uehara to save the day. But it doesn't stop there because she is always there for him when he is in the crapper too once his publication debut comes first and nobody likes it as far as he knows. She has a special way to tell him that isn't so. Then the ending, damn bro, if you don't feel that you must be dead.
