"Ecchi Sketch: Draw Cute Girls Every Day," by NewWestGames

From The Manufacturer:
As Yume Akiyama, you'll quit your dead-end job and become a full time manga artist, working in an office with a bunch of super cute girls! You'll need to show them the ropes, and perhaps a little more, in one of three endings in this cute, sexy, visual novel!

Pros:

• Occasional voice acting, but never by the MC.  It sometimes felt random as to which lines were voiced.
• Potential con: one of the characters, Rin, has a voice that is a touch grating.  Thankfully, it only comes up every so often. 
• The game delves into themes of BDSM, but in a way that (generally) focuses on consent and respecting boundaries.  
• The parental figures in the story seem (mostly) supportive.  This is a nice change of pace when compared to the trope of rejecting parents.

Cons:

• I figured out the "twist" for one of the story-lines almost immediately.  
• The rest weren't hard to figure out, either.  If you are looking for twists and turns, this is not the V.N. for you.
• The interspersed manga panels are well-produced, but show virtually no movement.  
• UPDATE: there is really only a page or two of manga shown.  If you are expecting to see the final product of the group's efforts, you will be disappointed.
• The "chibi" versions of each of the girls looked a little weird to me, and when she is rendered the MC doesn't seem like she has a nose.
• I had to suspend my disbelief with regards to the lady loves not being found out immediately by their office-mates.
• Also, I'm sure there's at least half a dozen HR violations in this game (lol).
• The same goes for the (minor spoiler) slumber party scene.  It seems like it was just a convenience excuse to have that scene, rather than something the characters would choose to do on their own

Conclusion:
Other than the premise / subject matter, I'm not sure there's much that stands out about this game.  The best way I can describe it is, "serviceable."  Those looking for a deeper plot, more naughty stuff, or less generic music will be disappointed.  Still, it might not be a bad pick-up if the description intrigues you and you can get it on sale.

Final Score: 
6.5/10
