Futami, a novice shojo manga artist, is finally publishing her beloved shogi manga, Dear Subaru. But…the stress makes her stomach hurt, she’s forced to push the deadline for her first chapter, and she isn’t making any progress on the storyboards. To top it off, she’s gaining weight from midnight snacking and starts having wild delusions! Will Futami be able to enjoy life as a manga artist?!

The verdict

Senpai’s take

Season picksDecentFall 2025

A painfully anxious new mangaka fumbles through her early career with a barely hidden crush on her editor. Entertaining cute-girls-doing-cute-things that is fairly educational about making manga, though there are better moe shows about making manga and anime.
