i quite like the art myself and i honestly think it's quite nice...different and bit sketchy but does the job and it does appeal to me....it's not a horribly unskilled caricature sort of thing if u expect something like that....i'm in chapter 11 right now of the 2nd volume and i did enjoy what i've read
the story is essentially a slice of life one so it takes time to develop and is not fast like in other genres as is usually the case with slice of life...i find the story quite interesting and that it has to do with a 40 something guy drifting aimlessly through life while obviously doing far too little to achieve his dream of becoming a mangaka....it's a cross between funny and sad....
i dont really know yet what rating i should give
p.s: read till ch.21 now...still enjoy it...

I can only second pnyxtr's comment.
Another fine example of an alternative manga, that's so likable that you'll stop caring about the art instantly. If that sort of thing bothers you usually.
I think a lot of people will be able to relate to the main character in some aspects. What else would you call reading manga aside from "slacking off". ;-)

It's good. No, honest.

I bet at least 90% of the people here who got a sneak peek at the manga would be put off by both the story and the art. But never mind those, there's plenty of manga out there for them (that I wouldn't touch with a 10 meter pole, instead).
I was a bit sceptical about the art myself, at first, but it's grown on me. And it does fit perfectly with the story. You can't help but get the feeling that this manga is at least a little autobiographical.
