Welcome to Otokita Manor, a haven for several manga artists! Its residents include Hana Fujimori, an 18-year-old up-and-coming manga artist who spends her limitless energy on everything except actually making manga; Kanoko Imamura, Hana's roommate of the same age who supports her but wishes she was more responsible; Moe Kitayama, an aggressive and easily frightened manga artist of poor skill; and Tamaki Nishikawa, a relatively older and more experienced artist who advises Hana while also occasionally joining in her tomfoolery. Mangaranai. follows the daily life of these four girls—parties and hijinks included. But amidst the fun, will Hana ever start making manga? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Even though Mangaranai. is extremely generic and simple, it still managed to be entertaining enough for me not to be able to say it was bad. It's just average. Mangaranai. follows a bunch of aspiring mangaka who live together in the same apartment complex and their daily lives: the lazy one, the normal one, the tsundere and the drunk/pervert. Later on they're joined by a few other characters, but you get the gist of it. The art is cute, the humour is light and there are some pop culture references here and there, but that's about it. You might get a chuckle of two out of it,but there's nothing memorable and nothing really changes throughout the whole thing. The best thing I could say about it is that it gets somewhat cozy when you get used to it. It's serviceable as a 4-koma manga and it did grow on me a little bit in the last 10 chapters, but I'm sure I won't remember anything about it a week from now. You should read this only if you've completely run out of 4-koma manga to read.
