Comments of Poet was not Built in a Day

I really dig the art. Like I really like it There's just something about pretty 80s-90s manga boys.
The story.. while not a masterpiece...it was surprisingly fun to read. I like the girl michiru too.

Didn't like the ending. I was hoping Rendou would find what he was looking for and be the person he wanted to become.

From the beginning I was asking myself “ok, where’s this going” and continued to ask that till the second last chapter. Each new thing that happened to him felt like the beginning of a plot, until it veered off to another beginning, then another, etc. This story isn’t fully constructed with a straight forward plot like so many others, but instead is more of a winding scenic route made up of a string of side stories or those ‘this happened to a friend of mine’ stories. That’s the feel I get from it anyway. But even though there isn’t a clearly identifiable direction or aim for the story and the character ends up in the same exact same place he was at the beginning of the story, I still found it an enjoyable read.
I also find it refreshing that the story is both Yaoi and heterosexual, much like the real world, that’s why I like to see Yaoi that has straight characters. But I especially like how (although reluctant) this character has truely Bi-Sexual experiences, instead of the usual, which is a statement that they are Bi while only doing gay or straight stuff.
Aida Rendou, ex-student and would-be poet, struggles to earn a living in the big city. As a talent scout for the adult video firm, M+ Productions, he hunts for potential actresses but it's not enough to pay the rent. So boss Nanazuka offers him extra cash to use his body to seduce men and women alike.

Had potential, It apparently has a lot more chapters than what was uploaded so hopefully someone can take it up

An odd story. Shows hetrosexual & homosexual sex. A guy who is very gullible & goes with the flow, no take charge attitude.

It's... interesting

Yea, there was more hetero sex that yaoi, but it was a good story about a poet trying to gain life experiences as have a "casual" job of being an AV scout. I liked it, it was entertaining and a good read. The end was open ended, this would have been a lot better had it gone on to be a true yaoi. I think they ended it to soon.

#Av scout #Affairs breaker #Slice of life
A strangely attractive poet-to-be too innocent for his own good ends up in comedic life or death situations.

Strangely attractive poet to be ends up in comedic life or death sitations. Weirdly good.

This manga is really bad the story is not going anywhere it's not even purely yaoi, I'm definitely lost of words on how terrible this manga is.

This is not funny nor interesting.
One poet-to-be who can not find work other than scouting for adult film gets into weird, non-related encounters.
Complete waste of papers

This manga seemed kind of plain to me. The story felt as if it didn't go anywhere. I wouldn't place this in a Yaoi category either.

2* ...it was really boring
