Synopsis

On Izu-Oshima, a small island south of Tokyo, Ai Yasumi is the kind of manga fan who probably knows more about her favorite artists than her own classmates. When she finds out that Hoshi no Rei, a manga creator who's been inactive for years; is showing up at COMITIA, she makes the trip to Tokyo to finally see them in person. What happens at the convention sets her on a path she never planned for: actually trying to make manga herself. Which, as it turns out, is a completely different thing from reading it. The series follows Ai as she fumbles through the gap between loving something and learning how to do it, surrounded by characters like her childhood friend Sachi, an art club prodigy named Kokoro, and a Japanese teacher, Rei Teshima, who doesn't sugarcoat anything. The island setting gives it a quieter, more grounded feel compared to most shows about creative work, but there's a real sense of distance between Ai's world and the Tokyo manga scene she's trying to break into. If you liked the creative passion in Bakuman or the "kids figuring out how to make art" energy of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, this covers similar ground but from the perspective of someone starting from basically zero. It's comedic and warm without being saccharine, and Shin-Ei Animation handling it feels like a good fit for that tone. A nice one to watch when you want something earnest about the messy early stages of chasing what you love.

That's fantastic final eps to see. I love how after got smooth rejection from Kongouji, their not give up and process to impress her with liitle revision in short time. I can feel Kongouji see spark of mangaka from both of them. But I still feel Teshima Sensei feel Yasumin gonna end up have same experience with how hellish Manga Industry, but looks like Yasumin see this as even more fuel to make more fun manga for her and others, Which make Teshima remember her first time meet with little Yasumin and to not into Dark Route. And those sensei start her new concept of Manga based on Yasumin. My Take this eps is 'WOW' this is prob first time anime that SoL that have pretty heavy drama but still chill in the whole time, Really remember me with last season 'Kirio Club'. Glad to see this got second season. See you soon Yasumin and Others :)

That was a Fantastic eps to watched. Sekiryuu that searching friends / companion to her life that lack of direct affection from her mother and Belong to 10% People (Elite on the other words). But Akafuku simply dont care about it and always try well because she always Act First Thinking Later, Thta's why Sekiryuu love her relationship with Akafuku as not only Friends that always make her day a little bit better, but also can stand a chance agaianst her Mother Words. I really like this eps, Hope we can see this kind again in the future.

It was such a cute and heartwarming scene that Rei and Yasumi met when she they were younger. In a way her own manga inspired and helped others, which in the end helped herself as well. It's so refreshing and inspiring to see Yasumi's perspective on drawing manga. To her, going pro seemed "small" compares to her love for manga. Itwas not what shes aiming for but just a sincere love and desire to draw manga that she likes. It reminds me of being passionate about something when you're young and losing that passion into thinking you have to be "successful" and go pro at it.
