The story of "Chuusotsu 1.5th Graduation" serves as a side narrative to the original, featuring the same three protagonists while introducing a new character aspiring to be a manga creator amidst a dystopian backdrop. While it maintains a lighthearted tone with moments of serious self-reflection, the plot is largely predictable and lacks the depth and character interplay of its predecessor, resulting in a somewhat static experience. Overall, it offers an interesting exploration of the challenges faced by artists but may leave fans wanting more due to its brevity and limited engagement.
“The story this time follows Arue and her newfound friends through the process of creating a doujin manga for a futuristic comiket-like event, all tinted in the same dystopian and extremely dark background of the world they are living in.”
“Ahem, keeping it serious, the story takes a moment to call out the prepotence of artists, criticism over the merciless doujin and commercial battleground involving game, manga, and other materials creation in Japan, and combines it with the even heavier background provided by this very close and bleak future where people are controlled like sheep through nanomachines.”
“The chuusotsu are as adorable and heartwarming as ever, meeting new friends and facing new challenges in this short story follow-up to the original.”
“Overall, barely passable and expensive for the largely so-so quality of the work, and the short story.”
“The first story's appeal and depth, the internal conflict and intricate interplay of personalities ... are mostly collapsed here into fairly static interactions and externalized conflict.”
“Her attitude provided a nice counterbalance to Arue's incessant whining and self-pity in the first story, but now instead she is paired with a character in a loop of fragility and emotional validation which does not really advance a plotline, focusing instead on rhetorical exploration of the artist's dilemma.”
