Pantsu Pantsu Pantsu. 
If I could comprehend this anime into three words it will be those magical, hallucinating words- Pantsu.

Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to as the name suggest is an anime about a Mangaka, Aito, and his female assistants. A very light hearted harem with just right amount of graphic ecchi to keep it funny and away from any overdoing.  

Story: 4/10 (Meh)

Being a 13 min per episode ecchi-comedy there is not much to expect from the story. Each episode is divided into 3 skits and each of them plays out independently. Though the next episode does picks up the elements devised in the last one, story is still not the strong point of Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to and you should not be looking into this genre for story anyway. 

Animation and Sound:  6/10 (Will do)
If you have ever at a point read the manga, you would definitely notice the difference in art style. And luckily a difference that makes stuff even better and interesting. The characters are drawn in a slender, stereotypical anime form yet retain all their charm from the manga. On the other hand, the sound is good. No complains to that side, it's nothing too splendid  to talk about in a big-new section but it's just right and it's right there.

Character: 7/10 (Alright, getting there)Don't expect a lot of character development and you will be surprised. For a 13 min episode, divided into skits, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san wondrously develops all major characters, there is nothing to fear and to drift toward the source material. The anime did a really good job to define all the characters well into their position. The voice acting is good and radiates the right vibes. Aiko would definitely hit a lot of punches right at the moment you least expect them. And the cards are easily stolen by the awesome main-side characters, even the typical tsundere of this show is extremely enjoyable. Oh, and if all the humans fail there's this little cute Bra-Nya who purloins the show swiftly.   

Enjoyment: 8/10 (Wasn't expecting that!)
To conclude I would say, it might not have been the one anime I was waiting eagerly the whole month. But damn- it was hilarious. 

Pros : +Right amount of Pantsu +Loli-tsundere +Bra-nya!  
Cons: -Barely gives any insight of a mangaka's life -Ecchi themes might get annoying
