GIGAZINE access analysis results for September 2024

This article is available only to paid members of the GIGAZINE Secret Club , but will be available to everyone until November 30, 2024.

Announcement 1: The first episode of GIGAZINE Manga's new series 'Let Me Make It! Ejima-san' has been released!

[Free Manga] 'Let me make it! Ejima-san' Episode 1 'Let me make a love game!' If you make a love game with the person you admire as the main character...

The synopsis is as follows.

Aya Ejima, a member of a game club at an art university, is troubled by a source of worry. Kaidou, a junior in the club, does not hide his feelings for Ejima, but continues to create a love game in which Ejima is the heroine. Sometimes, it even includes erotic events and mini-games...
Ejima doesn't like Kaido, who only dotes on the in-game 'Ejima-san,' so she tries every trick in the book to get him to notice her real self.
A love game begins between a man who wants to turn the woman of his dreams into a game versus a woman who wants attention to herself, not the game!

This time it's free and in full color, so please give it a try.
