This one is difficult to rate as for some people it might be really boring. This game needs a lot of imagination from you and is very repetitive. To me this is extremely immersive game with probably the slowest pace from all Kairosoft games. I love the idea of a grind from the bottom. I love as well to imagine the stories I am making. This is a game which you love and will be your top 3 of Kairosoft or one of the worst. If you can afford - get it and try it out. If not - just go for Anime one.

Played it for hours my first go, you need a lot of imagination too feel like anything is happening with this game, luckily im a writer myself so... But yeah, got a manga too a million sales, only a day in, super grindy, wouldnt recommend if you like balls to the wall action or anything. Love it.

Definately a much more simplified Kairosoft game this time. Theres not a lot of interesting mechanics here and once you get to a good point publishing series it just seems very repetitive. Other Kairosoft games have done a much better job at keeping this repetitive loop going and this game just dosen't do it as well. On the other hand I do love manga so that definately helped in keeping me interested for a bit.

★★

Wanted to like this one, but it's easily one of their worst games. Grindy even by Kairosoft standards but with very little payoff. Absolutely nothing to do. Do not waste time and money leveling assistants, they are borderline worthless and get extremely expensive after a few training sessions. Prioritize warehouses, work speed, and placing/leveling furniture, then uninstall and play any other Kairosoft game (if you have Play Pass).
