For a second I thought it would be an anime about traps, I'm disappointed now. :/

Hah, I read the title "Moegirl!" and was guessing what the heck it can be about xD
Another Yonkoma huh... But synopsis interested me a little, I might check it when it's out.

Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be as much about drawing manga as K-ON! is about music?

Oh, right. it's a Yonkoma just like K-ON!, that's why. Thanks, but no thanks.

And this, though reverse traps would make more sense with that title. I'm good either way, though as far as gender-bending goes.

When I read "slice of life" and "4 girls", I thought "another K-on again ..."
But the rest of the synopsis is quite interesting and I would probably watch it.

Me too, but it's probably the abbreviation for 'manga girl', but the name asks for misunderstandings.

I also expected something else when I had seen the title...
Still, I doubt I will watch this, too; it seems like a try of Bakuman...

Sounds good. I'd expect a more localized title if any companies pick it up for streaming though.

Honestly I thought it was going to be about futa's or something or people getting sex changes.

..But now I get the title. "MAN" from "manga" and "girl" just because they're girls. MANGIRL.

For a second there I thought it would be about a couple of transgenders. But I guess the "Man" in Mangirl is short for Manga, huh?

Shame it's not called Man-Thing.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.
