If you enjoy the genre of 'Cute girls doing cute things', This is for you.
Characters: 8.5/10
The protagonist, (nicknamed Kaos), Is the immature, small crybaby, and though some people exaggerate her moments to seem like she is screaming from start to finish. She actually has lots of character development and has her shining moments. The 3 other supporting characters each fill some sort of character troupe, and even though there is many contrasting character traits, they all feel like a very well written friend group. There is the classic Tomboy, Tubsasa, who writes shonen manga. Koyume, a bubbly girl who loves sweets and writes shojo manga. And Ruki, A self-conscious girl who is very loveable and writes... adult... manga. The girls all mesh together well and create a positive enviroment…

The show is cute and the art is nice. However, the rest of it is very dull. If you'd like to know anything further, let me break down the protagonist, one of the worst I've ever seen, and we will see if she's for you...
If you like undersized, childlike 15-year-old girls that are immature in every possible way, she's your girl. (The three supporting characters make up for this, thank God.)
If you like the kind of girl that cries, whines, screams, self-deprecates, passes out and takes away valuable screen time from the characters could be using to enhance the show, she's your girl.
If you like the type of girl that has the unbearable screeching voice of nails on a chalkboard in your ear all the time for at least half of each half episode, she's your girl.
If you like the type of girl th…

Comic Girls is anime based from 4-koma seinen manga which published by Kirara Times.
How about the story? I think because it's Slice of Life and also from Seinen demographic, they must to be realistic but still with light plot and light jokes too. Not to be cool like some seinen and shounen demographic, but with cute girl doing cute thing concept, the story still connected and still have philosophy like another seinen demographic. For example, I really like how kaosu doesn't surrender when she submitted the concept to editor and it's related with some undergraduate student to accomplish their thesis for final task (at least, in my country). Some rejection and ended with accepted. So, I enjoyed and also relax to watch it even in burned out situation. Also, they character must fit in with t…

Cute Girls 4-Panel shows are a dime a dozen, and while each has their own flavor, they are somewhat derivative of each other, usually featuring the same couple scenarios like going to the beach, fighting over a misunderstanding, summer festival and fireworks, one of them secretly being the rich heir to a big corporation or royal family - give or take a few. And at first, Comic Girls seems to follow in the same vein.
The four main girls are moved into a dormitory together with the expressed goal of it being helping them develop their skills as Mangaka. Two of them - Ruki and Tsubasa - are already very much busy with the industry, keeping up with weekly chapters or developing new ideas, whereas the other two - Kaos and Koyume - may have debuted, but still have to get their work off the gro…

This is a pretty good anime, if you like anime that contains the daily life of cute girls, I think this is on your watch list.
Centered on Moeta or commonly called Chaos-chan / Chaos Sensei whose personality is easy to think negatively, especially when the manga is always rejected in every episode. Even so, he never gave up and learned from his friends around him. As the title suggests, this anime is about the daily life of a mangaka, but like an anime that contains girls in general, their feminine thoughts will be inserted.
What I think is unique here is the Chaos character who looks funny, and if I think about it, his behavior is like a male otaku who doesn't have any female friends (lol). But I quite like it because his behavior is funny and his words seem to describe a male audience lo…

Most Kirara shows end up being very similar to one another at the end of the day: Take a random grabbag of established archetypes and have them mingle about for 12-13 episodes. If anything, this formulaic structure means newer shows based off of a Kirara series, or something very similar are already in a disadvantage. So, some shows do make an effort to differentiate itself from the crowd to varying success.
Comic Girls is unique not because of its theme on drawing manga (that theme ultimately has very little impact on the whole show), but because of Kaoruko. Kaoruko, or some say Kaos, is an incredibly unique and bold choice for a protagonist, for she is the embodiment of the author herself. More than anything, Kaos' personality and interactions with the rest of the cast is what makes th…

(I'm bad at writing reviews, sorry)
I have always been a sucker for moe slice of life animes like Anne Happy, which is a recommendation if you like this anime. This anime even made me want to pursue my childhood dream again, which is to be a manga artist.
Story
If I told you that the plot was 'four high school girls living in a dorm and making manga', you would automatically think that it was very, very boring. But OH BOY. This show's plot is so simple and so mundane, when you get on to watching it, something is just so charming about it! I really don't know how to describe it-its making the most normal thing and turning it into something that just makes you happy, like you are rooting for the protagonist's dream.
Art
The art style and animation are really good! It's colourful and feels…

This is my first time writing a review, I am sorry if this isn't the most coherent and well-done thing.
I can't remember who or what made me decide to watch Comic Girls, though I'm definitely glad that I did.
For starters, I find it hard to identify things about this show that come off as particularly bad, irritating or harmful by any means. I'd have to nitpick the show to find anything worth dedicating a lot of complaining to as the show is good all around.
I'll keep this as spoiler free as possible. The story overall is very simple, easy to follow and light-hearted. It's perfect for the genre and it's purpose. The story doesn't involve any amount of unnecessary drama or chaos that would hinder the enjoyment of the show and gives a good amount of insight into the lives and work of the m…

Here is the thing with Comic Girls: it is literally just Yuru Yuri. If having another season of Yuru Yuri with new jokes and slight tweaks to the characters and the central gimmick of the show appeals to you, you will enjoy Comic Girls. If it sounds derivative or boring to you, you'll hate Comic Girls.
The jokes land pretty regularly, it had me laughing IRL more than most comedies, and there are some solid in-jokes for people that are more knowledgeable about the manga industry. The characters tend towards the overly cutesy side, especially the main character Kaos, but they all get their turns to shine, even the side characters, and show some real character development from start to finish. The show looks nice as well, and the characters are well designed and easily recognizable. The voic…

Comic Girls is one of those anime you decide to try out and end up finishing in one day; meaning its pretty damn good. The characters of this anime are just fantastic. From the crybaby main character Kaos-chan, to the tomboyish Tsubasa, there’s someone in the anime to like between the high school quartet (i think that means 4 sorry if it doesn’t ;-;) I love how these characters develop so much, even if it doesn’t always show.
What this anime lacks is a good story. Now, this anime’s story is kind of like K-on!! where each episode has one big looming problem, that lasts for the duration of the episode. However, Comic Girls normally attempts to fit two into one. This isn’t much of a big deal, and isn’t my problem either. My problem is it falls into the Phineas and Ferb sort of series where e…

If you just want to see cute girls doing cute stuff and mainly just drawing manga, then this is the anime for you. Because it's hecka cute and the characters are all awesome! I didn't find anyone I hate at all, though some can find them to be annoying and I usually would in other anime but they are well written in this one. It's a lovely cute anime and that's all there really is to it.
It's funny but not in the way that you would laugh out loud but more just a smile on your face and go awe that's cute... or silly and stuff like that. It has a lot of yuri vibe, so if you don't like that stuff, then yeah don't watch it.
If you want more serious anime that focus on manga, then I say don't watch this because though it does have some element of seriousness, it doesn't take itself seriously,…

This is a very cute anime in and a nice anime. The characters are cute and their interactions were also cute and sometimes funny to me to what they were doing, well one of its genre was comedy. I liked the character that Moeta Kaoruko had at learning more about how to improve her art and how to have confidence in my opinion. This is just part of my taste in anime so you dont have to agree with me if you dont like my opinion. So i will recommend this anime to people that like cute things and slice of life.

I enjoyed seeing the character develop as people throughout the series as they bonded through different obstacles in life. I thought it was interesting how the adults were connected with one another in parallel to the next generation.
It was pleasant to see how each of their characters matched what genre of manga they work on.
I wish they gave more insight into the struggles they face such as trying to stay motivated or when they run out of steam while working. It was shown but I was still curious on the process of how they find motivation once more. Other things I would've hoped to see would've been the differences between drawing traditionally and digitally, and what editors search for while reviewing the final drafts. I would've liked seeing them explain some manga jargon and perhap…

Comic Girls is a cute slice of life that I would recommend to anybody interested in the CGDCT genre. While the story is nothing exceptional, it was moving enough to let me watch all of the episodes. While I do have some complaints on how the series concluded (which I will not go into detail about), I was generally pleased by the light, easy-to-digest story. The visuals were very vibrant and colorful and blended nicely with the story and sound. The characters have distinct personalities and develop a bit throughout the series, with each character facing their own challenges. Overall, while it may have not been extraordinary in any specific area, it's pleasant enough to recommend to a casual CGDCT fan.

Bakuman....MOE Edition.
Comic Girls is another in the line of "working girls" anime but this time in becoming a pro mangaka. The comparisons towards Bakuman is probably just at the surface level of making manga and all the trials and tribulations", seeing that Comic Girls is a Manga Kirara Time work, the competition aspect is barely there, instead more about friendship and camaraderie of helping bring manga's to life in this anime.
Kaoruko "Kaos" Moeta voiced by Hikaru Akae is our resident narrative focus of the anime and we do get a plotline of her growing as a mangaka and learning it from her dorm friends. She is also the typically shy and extremely nervous character of the core cast and has a REAL habit of crying whenever she does something bad (or even a jabby compliment gets to her)…

Let’s keep this one brief shall we, at least by my standards. Brevity is the soul of of wit, as old Shakey said. Comic Girls manages to carve an identity for itself within the oversaturated market of ‘CGDCT’ shows by being a very genuine portrayal of what it means to be a struggling creative up and coming in a brutal and unforgiving industry, which will definitely be relatable to many people, myself included. With a unique artstyle and design sense, Comic Girls sets itself apart from the pack by giving weight to it’s characters and environments. Like such past shows as K-on, the locales and backgrounds of Comic Girls feel like real lived in environs, which only furthers to enhance the atmosphere. The animation is impressive for what it is too, providing excellent comedic timing and some gr…

Spoilers: None
Recommendation: Very Good
Comic Girls is a better show than I thought it would be. In fact, it is one of the better examples of the CGDCT genre I've seen. That it is not the absolute best CGDCT show around is due to the existence of genuinely excellent shows like K-On!, but any fans of the genre should make a point to watch Comic Girls. They will not be disappointed.
The cute things our cute girls are doing in this case all revolve around manga. All four main characters are young manga artists living and drawing in a dorm together. I'll get to the girls in a second, but it is worth pausing here a moment to make a point. One of the things that sets Comic Girls apart is that it takes this subject matter, the difficulties faced by young aspiring manga artists, seriously. Yes…

I might spoil the show when analyzing the characters. So don't read if you haven't watched the show! Unless you don't care...
I am an artist. It may seem like I'm bragging, sorry if it does, but it is pretty important to my enjoyment for this show. Cause even though every artist doesn't have the same experiences, there are things that many artists do feel.
Being ashamed of oneself work, not feeling deserving of food and other self-destructive thoughts.
I have never really seen an anime about art that shows this side of how artists feel. There are probably other shows that do this. Maybe even shows I have seen that do this. But this is the show that has made me remember that part the most. Cause the artist part in many anime characters is irrelevant in most cases. The character might be…
