Why?:
As usual, I pick up just about any new
series from Shojo Beat; I’m a sucker for their series. The art, as of the
cover, looks nice, it sounds good, and it’s only a few books long, which is
also nice. I’m kind of getting a Black Bird vibe from it, at least from the color and image on the cover; I have
hopes of similarities, but it could be very different.

Goodreads Synopsis:
MEET THE COMIC RELIEF
Kanna Tezuka is a serious 15-year-old manga artist, already being published as a pro. So when she finds out her high school is starting a manga drawing course, even she gets excited. But it's a fiasco! The teacher is useless, and the only other students — three pretty-boy artist wannabes — quickly adopt Kanna as their (unwilling) sensei. But they all have ridiculous delusions about being an artist, and if Kanna can't bring them back down to Earth, she'll never get any work done!
A sharp-witted satire of the manga world from the creator of I Am Here! and Missions of Love!

Why?:
I’ve read Kodansha’s other Toyama
series, I Am Here! and Missions of Love, and enjoyed both of
them quite a bit. I’ve been made a fan of her series at this point, so I’m
definitely planning on picking up this one. It already seems to have
similarities to her other series, but I don’t mind at all. It’s also only a few
volumes long, so that’s nice, since Missions
of Love is still going. I’m looking forward to picking it up.
