The Comic Artist and His Assistants

A pervy manga artist’s studio becomes a comedy‑drama battlefield of panty‑obsession and unexpected kindness.

Yuuki Aito is a talented but lecherous manga artist whose greatest artistic ambition is to sketch every style of women's underwear. He surrounds himself with a rotating cast of eager female assistants, each of whom becomes both his muse and his unpaid research subject. Aito’s studio is a chaotic blend of sketchbooks, panty‑laden photo references, and endless requests for “just one more pose,” leaving his assistants to juggle their own lives while tolerating his pervy inquiries. Despite his obsessive fixation, Aito isn’t a one‑dimensional creep. He often surprises the girls with genuine generosity—offering advice on their own art, covering rent, or stepping in to solve personal crises. This contradictory nature creates a tug‑of‑war within the staff: they’re drawn to his kindness yet repulsed by his constant objectification. Over twelve breezy episodes, the series riffs on the absurdity of the manga industry, the thin line between inspiration and exploitation, and the uneasy camaraderie that forms when a group of women must endure the whims of a perverted yet oddly caring creator.

A workplace comedy centered on a manga artist who constantly sexualizes his female assistants under the guise of 'reference gathering.' The show mines his inappropriate behavior for laughs while occasionally showing him as genuinely kind, creating tonal whiplash between raunchy ecchi gags and sincere character moments.
