What it's about
Nana Futami has just debuted as a professional shoujo manga artist. She works hard every day with the help of her older editor, Kaede Sato, and her assistant, Mizuki Hazama, and she has a habit of drifting into vivid, over-the-top daydreams that she blames on the job. The series is a gentle workplace comedy about the everyday side of making manga: deadlines, meetings, ideas and the friendships between the three women. Studio Voil adapted the manga as a 13-episode slice-of-life comedy in autumn 2025.
