Synopsis
Three eccentric manga club girls chase artistic dreams amid absurd hijinks, supernatural encounters, and endless distractions.
Eccentric high school manga club members Ai, Mai, and Mii all share the same dream: to become brilliant artists. Despite wanting to improve their drawing skills, the girls are often derailed by absurd situations involving intricate jokes, animals, and supernatural encounters. Joined by their upperclassman Ponoka, the girls fill their days with hijinks and never suffer a dull moment.
