Holiday Reviews: KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EIZOUKEN!

We've spent most of this month honoring some of the best (and worst) art that manga in 2020 had to offer.  It's only fitting then that we look at a manga that's all about making art - animation, in this case.

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EIZOUKEN! (Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na!), by Sumito Oowara.  First published in 2016 and first published in North America in 2020.




PLOT:

Ever since she was little, Asakusa has been fascinated by animation and exploration, filling up sketchbooks full of wild landscapes and mechanical ideas.  One day, she and her money-best friend Kanamori get swept up in a chase with Mizusaki, a rich girl with a keen eye for drawing people and motion.  Together they decide that they should found a club to make their own anime, but it's going to take a lot more than talent to make their dream come true.
