Where to find it: Anywhere manga is sold (also digital versions, which is what I read)
What is it, in summary?: A woman who helps organize a fanmade manga / doujinshi festival in Japan (based on the real Comiket) gets transported to a fantasy land where she must use her skills in organizing a magical version of the convention to find the spell to send her back home.
What do you love about it?: If you like reading about the manga/publishing/convention industry it's absolutely delightful. There are many scenarios that feel extremely real to anyone who has been in any sort of context related to conventions or publishing. The fantasy setting makes the commentary fresh and fun vs what's been done before (re: commenting on the publishing industry.)
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Just 'more adventures in the day in the life of Mika'!
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Yeah you only really need to read one manga volume to get it, although all of them are great and the main character does have a narrative arc.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Fantasy-typical violence but it's not very common, she just has to run for her life sometimes but it's all very lighthearted.
