I am positively stunned that this manga has such a small readership and absolutely no reviews. It feels like something so many people would be really interested in, given that the JAV industry is a little unknown to western anime fans. At least in terms of the specifics of how it functions.

AV Danyuu Hajimemashita's greatest appeal is in its detailed description of the JAV industry. It is presented with a relatively slow pace, taking care to show the step by step process that our protagonist and author took to be in his current position. While doing this, it is sure to characterize the main ... character and other side characters in order to genuinely keep readers invested in the world presented by the manga. In many ways, it reads like a cohesive story with continuous plot progression, rather than the usual slice of life that most manga diaries fall into.

The art for the manga is surprisingly impressive. The use of the white blob figure to represent our protagonist adds a staggering amount of humor while adding a degree off separation that stops the manga from feeling too ecchi to just consume for an average manga reader. This also leads to our protagonist having a wide range of expressions that adds to his characterization. At the same time, the girls are drawn with enough detail to further elevate the humor. At times we just have our blobby protagonist having sex with highly detailed women.

Thankfully, the manga isn't that uncomfortable either. It has some goofs with our main character's abundant sex drive and perversion, but it isn't so much so that it makes it hard to read. He can be very professional at times, making sure to characterize the industry more than the faceless mound of sex that so many people view it as.

If you happen to find this manga, totally give it a go. I'm sure you will learn a lot, or at the very least have a good time.
