"I think she only pretends to study. Azuki's not calculating, she's just being a girl. ...well, like, she's naturally absorbed to the idea that it's feminine to be graceful and well-mannered. And that girls should be serious, but not too smart. She was born with the ability to sense that being too smart isn't too cute. That's clever, right?"
"Let him do it. Men have dreams that women can't understand."
These dialogues surely push my button. If I could I would punch Takagi's face out of infinity and beyond..
The idea of society rules on what women should do and shouldn't do, it's toootallly Victorian era!!
but hey, I have to admit it.
that'slife for ya, girls.

I don’t think I’ll continue this. I enjoyed the anime but I just find the main character a bit of an incel. Somehow the anime didn’t have that problem because everything seemed more genuine and earnest.

this is not a very action-packed manga, but it's entertaining so far. they act like japanese teenage boys for sure, the casual and low-key misogyny is there but barely noticable, quite authentic imo. the art is great, and the characters look good.
Maybe when I read a review of this, I thought there would be more. But... a boy who can draw well, but thinks that the dream of writing/drawing manga is just a dream and he needs to be down to Earth. And... yep. That's the premise? I didn't finish the whole book, but that's because I couldn't feel this moving in any kind of interesting direction. Maybe I'll push through it some day and find out that he fights dragons, too- but this just wasn't enough to hold my interest.

The most compelling part about this would be the big question “Are the boys going to meet their goal and have their work made into an anime?” and that’s it. The art actually got worse than Death Note’s and the story is not the greatest. It’s not witty. It just flows decently well.
It’s not one of their greatest works. It’s mainly about the boys gaining momentum and excitement for creating manga while trying to deal with life and romance. The romance that was included was cheesy. I can see how they wanted it to be a major influencer on the boys’ manga but it didn’t fit.
The characters are nothing to be too amazed by. They seem like different versions of their older characters from Death Note. The girl and her mother looked very doll like... It’s creepy.
The biggest and most annoying part was the blatant sexism! Hated hated hated that! They really could have and should have removed that.
What this mainly did for me was giving me creative inspiration to draw. It gave me ideas of how to do certain paneling ideas. But all this was happening while I was reading the manga. I would be thinking up ways to do that and suddenly I’m 5 pages ahead of where I was and somehow I understand what’s happening without any context.
If these two authors collaborated on a horror manga, it would be more of a hit than this one. They did Death Note and that other manga series that was nearly Death Note, so I do know they can do horror. Maybe even suspense!
