Summary: Moritaka Mashiro, a junior high school student, content to live out a relatively normal life as any other does, is persuaded by his classmate, Akito Takagi, to become an aspiring mangaka when the latter realizes his natural talent as an artist. However, Moritaka is reluctant to pursue his dream as his uncle, once a mangaka with his own serializations, died from overwork trying to regain his lost status. With Akito's help, Takagi gets another classmate and his school crush, Azuki Miho, who is an aspiring voice actress, to voice in the anime adaptation of their future manga once it is completed. However, Mashiro also proposes to Azuki, who surprisingly accepts only on the condition she will marry him when both of them have achieved their dreams. With a goal set before him, Mashiro begins a long and struggling path to become a famous mangaka.

pros
+ well developed storyline with smooth flow, nice comedy, friendship, and some romance
+ interesting and relatable characters
+ makes you appreciate mangaka and their effort even more, takes viewers into the depth of the anime/manga business!
cons
- rather slow story
- main romantic relationship is somewhat awkward
- simple concept

conclusion: for once, an informative slice-of-life that doesn't border on boring! story is slow but flows well, even though it's faster in the manga (go read that one if you don't like slow storylines). characters are relatable and interesting, dialogue is easy to follow, and the animation's still pretty good. a simple one, but something that provides a deeper look into the anime/manga business and makes you appreciate mangaka and their effort even more! i prefer the manga (again) but this anime does a good job in following the manga, and can't be complained about.

peace.
