Plot Summary - Moritaka Mashiro, a junior high school student, content to live out a relatively normal life as any other does, is persuaded by his classmate, Akito Takagi, to become an aspiring mangaka when the latter realizes his natural talent as an artist. However, Moritaka is reluctant to pursue his dream as his uncle, once a mangaka with his own serializations, died from overwork trying to regain his lost status. With Akito's help, Takagi gets another classmate and his school crush, Azuki Miho, who is an aspiring voice actress, to voice in the anime adaptation of their future manga once it is completed. However, Mashiro also proposes to Azuki, who surprisingly accepts only on the condition she will marry him when both of them have achieved their dreams. With a goal set before him, Mashiro begins a long and struggling path to become a famous mangaka.
My First Impression - Definitely an inspiring anime! I loved how the characters were so realistic, and the drawings were different, but well-done! This anime actually did not live up to my expectations! After all the wonderful reviews, I thought this series was going to go above and beyond! But I still liked it. I'd really like to see where this anime goes from the first episode, and what happens ahead! I also like the reference to Death Note, which was hilarious! So, I'm sticking with this one, and I recommend it to you aspiring mangakas, and voice actor/actresses!
