This review is from: Comic Party, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

One of Kazuki's biggest fans at the comic conventions is Asahi Sakurai, but she also one of the shiest. Everytime she comes up to him, she can hardly stutter out a conversation. Who would ever guess that she is actually a pop idol, famous across the country for being a singer and radio personality. The only problem is that she can't talk very well unless she has a script in front of her. Maybe Kazuki can charge up her self-confidence? Related to this problem is Kazuki's friend and fellow doujinshi Aya Hasabe who is giving Kazuki an education on how to write original work instead of parodies. But after Eimi blasts her work for not appealing to the masses she too begins to suffer an identity crisis. Oh, the tragedies of shy girls!

Volume 4 of Comic Party is a good read for fans of anime and manga and really shows the inner workings of normal people struggling to become artists. It would be nice if we had this level of passion and oppurtunities to exhibit amateur work in America.

I would also recommend the Comic Party anime, which is superior to the manga series.
