NEWS: Aharen-san wa Hakarenai's Asato Mizu Launches Blue Archive Manga

So my main impressions of the characters are cute little gremlins messing around with each other and being oddball.

I'm not familiar with Aharen-san or anything else by Mizu, but the art style is a great fit for the Game Development Department's antics! Exciting! This has to be both the easiest pick and the best pick for a manga. So happy to see more of these silly girls.

Yes and no. It's not lacking in drama even within its first arc, and takes some pretty serious turns, but the daily lives wouldn't be out of place in some of the comfiest SOL shows despite how frankly awful Kivotos is on several levels, even if restricted to the whole "superpowered young adults making their way with troubled autonomy" aspect that encompasses all of Kivotos' varied essentially city-states. A number of BlueSechi's animations are just straight up text with slight exaggeration (if any), or otherwise in the spirit. One event is all about an adorable ninja girl of the resident Ninjutsu Research Club working on becoming a better ninja while (softly) beset by others not taking her seriously, and another sees you help cozily deliver Christmas presents while two factions are butting heads to the problem of everyone else.

So if you like Sechi's animations, I would be surprised if you didn't like this too (I haven't started it yet though).
