Najimi Osana's goal is to make a fortune in life, but in reality, she hasn't been having much success in her job. Tsuyuri, a doujin artist and a friend of Najimi, takes her to a convention to help her sell her doujin; and after learning that her childhood friend Justice is a very successful doujin artist, Najimi declares that she will make her fortune by creating doujins of her own. However, Najimi has never created anything close to a doujin before, and will struggle through many difficulties. Together with Tsuyuri, Justice, and Sora, they will work together for Najimi’s sake to gain fame and fortune in the doujin market.
One day, the otaku Kouta Morisaki returns to his apartment complex to find that a young girl by the name of Kanou is waiting for him - and she claims that she's his daughter! However, much to their mutual horror, Kanou then enters Kouta’s apartment and sees his anime posters, video games, and ‘mature’ figures. Though he tries to explain away her claim, Kouta is soon reminded of his high school sweetheart when sees Kanou and realizes that the young girl is telling the truth. The two must now live together, but in a society where an otaku is thought of as a pervert and a freak, how is nine-year-old Kanou supposed to adjust to a new life with her father? With unusual neighbors, manga conventions and single life habits laid bare, maybe Kanou and Kouta will be able to gain a new outlook on life and its values together.
If you'd like a little more story with your otaku comedy, then you should give Otaku no Musume-san a shot. Like Doujin Work, it focuses on the lives of struggling amateur and professional manga artists.
OnM focuses more on developing its characters and plot than Doujin Work, but the results pay off in more rewarding laughs and some decent serious material. If you're looking for a manga with a similar tone, but a little more meat, Otaku no Musume-san is for you.
