New assistant incoming. She accepts his naivety because she's like him. It's like Hayami-san's character is taking care of two kids. To write more interesting... The reason Hayami-san's character joined the "team". He was that shy?? And making lots of mistake.

Fuwa <3

Didn't take long to introduce her but as usual, Aito has those bizarre delusions. Ashisu in that cute outfit though? Oh shit.

I guess this anime is for our enjoying various skills of VA, especially Aito's voice.
---
By the way, the most creative way of naming is here. I have very bad chills. Hahaha.

Aito, Yuuki (愛徒 勇気) = Ai to Yuuki (愛と勇気) = Love and courage
Ashisu, Sahoto (足須 沙穂都) = Assistant and support, or assistant. Her name of respect form "Ashisu-san" also pun on assistant.
Otosuna, Mihari (音砂 みはり) = "Don't drop! a watchperson." It means, "I am the watchperson to prevent you from postponing final manuscripts of manga." in Japanese.

Yuuki and Rinna are pretty much two peas in a pod, I want to ship them now. Poor Yuuki, at first he would make Rito look brave at the first glance.

Aito is a bit odd and their first meeting I'm like he's such a klutz for spilling the tea on Ashisu.

Fuwa ^_^
Ashisu slapping Aito was hilarious. He tries to clean her shirt but instead grabs her breast by accident during their first meeting.

Some scenes of the episode:
Ashisu's expression is too kawaii
Aito is one odd and weird guy as shown in this scene
Super kawaii Ashisu and Fuwa bunny cosplay as the ending art
First thought during this scene was omg Ashisu looks a lot like Inaba from Kokoro Connect

He was trying so hard to be polite and show his hospitality but it failed completely.
Still she become his assistant so i guess he did something good.
The new assistant looked interesting as well and she was spot on when it came to his hobbies...

Aito just seems like a really naive and nice guy who is totally unrestrained by the conventions of society. He isn't afraid to admit that he likes what he likes. He also genuinely likes women (even if he is the terminally shy otaku) and was quite ready to take responsibility up to fatherhood and marriage with the new assistant.

So, that how Aito and Ashisu met, their first meeting was fuuny.

Lol at Aito's reason for hiring inexperience girls who cannot draw and how he accepted them because they are cute.

Fuwa was so cute.

After watching this ep. I still think Aito's voice doesn't fit him. He sounds way too young, which is a shame because otherwise the seiyuu sounds great and the girls sound pretty spot on (not a big accomplishment though considering they're supposed to have a pretty/cute voice and that's pretty much the standard).

Also, I don't think the dot-style works really well with this show. It feels out of place (same with the OP), maybe because despite all the dumb jokes and harem stuff the universe is strongly set on a "normal" setting with no supernatural elements and the manga lacks that kind of artistic eye-candy. The most supernatural thing they've got is a cat that can draw and understand human language, but that's about it. I guess the style reminds me more of moe high school anime, despite the cute girls and perverted situations I regard ManAshi outside that look. The style is pretty normal and more slice-of-life, so seeing the dots is kind of jarring.

The jokes aren't well planned. Many funny situations in the manga that made me laugh out loud feel like just passing the time in the anime. They aren't carried well or they don't end strongly, and they lack the heat they had in the manga. Overall they feel pretty bland.

The manga is really better in the end. Still it's much better than what happened to his other manga Doujin Work (the anime was pretty bad, badly animated and badly executed), ManAshi is a bit better handled but not by much. Only people who liked the manga should stick with the anime, and even then only because it's short so it's not a big deal.

The episode lenght is fine imho. Or this would turn into 23mins of ecchi/SOL, which would be pretty exaggerated and lame since the setting is pretty static.

Oh man this is funny. I would have liked it to be a regular 23 mins length though. The first thing she saw was a hell of a nosebleed. I'm surprised she didn't freak out at the end, she's too nice for her own good haha.

Uwaah just when I thought it couldn't be more bland. This is even less funny than the 1st episode (and that one was already pretty bad). I didn't even smile once during this episode. The whole thing just showed Aito being gross. How did this guy even managed to get his manga serialized? any other editor would cancel his series since he doesn't even seem too interested in making his work more interesting.

The only redeeming value in this anime is Ashishu because damn, she is one of the finest/hottest girls I've ever seen in anime. Her proportion is just so damn perfect and not to mention she's voiced by the sultry Saori Hayami. Too bad she can hardly distract me from the poor jokes.

Love this. Glad it's only 10 mins per ep, as it means no time for fillers. That backstory of how he & Ashisu met, found myself laughing out loud at the whole tragedy.

Cant wait for next week's ep, needed a series like this to fill in the void.
