Comic Girls

Comic Girls is a TV comedy slice-of-life anime produced by Nexus, based on the manga by Kaori Hanzawa. The series follows aspiring manga artist Kaoruko Moeta as she moves into a dormitory for manga creators, sharing her days with the bold Ruki Irokawa, the cool Tsubasa Katsuki, and the cheerful Koyume Koizuka. Together, they navigate the joys and struggles of chasing their creative dreams. Directed by Yoshinobu Tokumoto with series composition by Michiko Yokote, Comic Girls blends heartwarming humor with an authentic look at the manga-making world—a must-watch for fans of cozy, character-driven storytelling.

Set in a vibrant world where manga creation meets youth and ambition, the story follows Kaoruko Moeta, a 15-year-old high school student who pursues her passion for drawing manga under the pen name Chaos. Facing the harsh realities of the industry, she finds herself moving into a specialized dormitory exclusively for female manga creators — a place where dreams are both nurtured and tested. There, she shares her daily life with three roommates who each bring a distinct creative flair: Koyume Koizuka, who crafts heartfelt shoujo stories; Ruki Irokawa, who specializes in teen romance narratives; and Tsubasa Katsuki, who tackles the action-driven world of shounen manga. Together, these four young women navigate the joys and struggles of honing their craft, forming bonds that go far beyond simply sharing a roof.
