I don't usually review publicly any kind of anime/manga, because I find difficult to express what I feel and make my opinion clear enough. Also because English is not my main language, but that's besides the point. Please bear with me for a moment and take into consideration that this is MY point of view on this manga, and MY opinion. Having said that, lets get right into it:
Story: 9/10
Considering the date that the manga was written, and the kind of plots other mangas (H included) have, I think I can safely say that this was an original and interesting plotline all along. We did
...
see some similar ones in ero-stuff, but precisely Koe de Oshigoto! is unique because it takes those ideas usually only seen in +18 content and brings them over to the reader in a much safer way, accesible for a larger audience. Also even though the plot is spread along a kinda long stretch of chapters, each and every one of them feels important in its own, you don't really feel like there's "filler content." Also, to really judge the story one has to finish it, and sometimes the ending of a story feels off or out of place. Luckily, this wasn't the case, and I can say I left the book feeling satisfied. An interesting story from start to end.
Art: 9
The art is nothing really special or exquisite, but it being kinda simple and that ero-feeling vibe it has is actually what makes it charming in its own way. Sure, it can become monotonous after a while, but it's still not "boring", and except the fact that some characters are hard to tell apart one from another, I have no issues with it.
Characters: 10
Let me just say what a character in this manga said himself: the story becomes much more interesting if the characters are. And hell be frozen if these characters weren't charismatic and enjoyable! Each one is a unique piece of the plot, putting their grain of sand into it. You have variety, but far from being a case of "A lot to see but nothing to delve into", each personality is well defined and you can explore their mindset through their dialogue and motivations. They truly feel alive, alas a bit eccentric at times, but they're the kind of people I'd love to have around to interact with. They make it easier to immerse oneself into the story, or at least that's what happened to me.
Enjoyment: 10
I think I've made myself clear enough, right? This was super-enjoyable in all of its aspects, specially the comedy and character development. From the happy-go-lucky moments, to the heart-warming ones, you're sure to have a smile on your face 24/7 while reading this piece of art.
Overall: 9.5 (10)
Koe de Oshigoto! is a story about that typical Japanese girl, all innocent and oblivious to almost any sex-related knowledge, being drawn into the world of eroge and voice-acting and meeting some really interesting people along the way, all for the sake of her maturing and opening to a new vision of the world. And it was one of the best mangas I've had the honour to follow until its end, quickly becoming my Top 6 on mangas I've fully enjoyed, and would recommend. Heck, I might even read it again! I wish they made more OVAs, or a full-fledged-13-episodes-anime.
