Goodreads Synopsis:
Things can be very
trying for a high school student. It's tough to make extra cash...unless
of course you have a special talent. Najimi's friend Tsuyuri has been
making money on the side drawing naughty fan comics and selling them at
conventions. Najimi doesn't have a knack for drawing comics and has
fallen in with a very unusual crowd. They are living in fantasy worlds
and are now on the fringe of society attending comic conventions and
hanging out in odd circles of friends with wacky interests and fetishes.
But how can Najimi make money if she totally sucks at drawing?!
Review:
I picked this up
kind of on the spur. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, though I figured it
would be comedy. I also thought it would be a little dirty. I wasn’t expecting
it to be so good, though.
This is mostly made
up of four-panel comics, and I like those. It’s pretty much all comedy, and
it’s well-done. The artwork is pretty good.
There’s a group of
four-to-six main characters, and they’re all hilarious. There are
misunderstandings, and lots of underhanded tricks. There are also a
surprisingly amount of dirty jokes and innuendos. Nothing is actually shown,
but there’s a lot of context, which I honestly thought was hilarious,
especially since the characters all write dojinshi, much of which is hentai
based, and some of which is yaoi.
I really enjoyed this short series; the
translations seemed well-done, and most of it was just very funny. But there are
apparently six volumes in this series, and only four have been translated and
released over here. I thought it was discontinued, not just canceled in
English. Ugh. Now I just get to hope that someone translates the rest?
