This is at the same time so very odd and so very normal; it's a slice-of-life series about four friends that try to make a comic book and nothing really unusual happens but at the same time it dismisses all the clichés so much and at the same time references them that it becomes original; it's surreal in how contemporary it feels and how much of it references the very current state of comic book production and self-censorship in Japan and the ire of the author with censorship regarding controversial content can clearly be felt.

What one shan't find in this story is:

- a faceless (male )protagonist meant for reader-insertion: there are four protagonists( — two male, two female) — all of which are æequally the hero and the story takes place from all of their perspectives.
- a male boy meets female girl story, despite it being about love developing love and relationships it handles this in an original way.
- clearly developing love for the audience whither the characters are oblivious; the internal dialogue of the characters as their love develops is seen and they quæstion themselves and their feelings

As per usual with the author there is a tonne of casual sexual harassment and I love it. We have four friends: three students and one teacher, two males and one female that are sexually oddly open with each other for such a dynamic and casually sexually harass each other and seem to be fine with it. The line "Bitch, get your tits off me; I'll rape you." was actually uttered. This is absolutely not one of those series that tries to spread the idea of "Sexual harassment is fine as long as it's not a male doing it to a female." but rathe "Sexual harassment is fine when it's done amongst friends that can laugh about it." and it's completely æqual opportunity — in essence it's a power phantasy for sex-positive people that want a world or at least friends where sex and sexual taboos aren't treated so sensitively and one needn't define one's sexual taste with rigorous labels.

The story definitely isn't about lolicon but references it all the same with one of the characters openly calling children "before they grow pubes" "hot" and another claiming to be borderline after having seen pictures of another character as a youngster.

Apart from that the plot definitely takes a backseat to the interactions, comedy, and social - and comic-book market criticisms. There isn't really an overarching plot except four guys that are trying to make a comic book together and more or less succeed and discover and find themselves through the complicated, censorship-stained world of comic book publishing — it's a holesome story in the end with a happy end where all the characters can look back on what they learnt and discovered about themselves and how they improved.

If one be looking for a faceless protagonist self-insert harem power-phantasy then one should look somewhere else: the men of culture are talking now.
