Review of Kakushigoto

I was really surprised by how much this series grew on me by the halfway point. I'm usually not much for comedy series, but I initially gave it a shot because it was refreshing to get a story about not only an adult but a single father. I also liked the idea of a series that would poke fun at the world of manga artists. During the first four or five episodes, I thought it was a little ridiculous that a father would go to such lengths to hide things from his daughter, but the hints at something deeper at the end of each episodeas well as the charming relationship between father and daughter kept me coming back. During the second half, once it became apparent where the series was heading, I just couldn't wait for each new episode. The finale is wonderful, so stick with it. To briefly mention downsides, I think it would've been nice to get more character development of the supporting cast. However, it appears that the manga upon which this is based is still publishing, so perhaps there will be a second series. I definitely plan to read the original work in the meantime!
