▍About 16bit Sensation
16bit Sensation is a manga series created and illustrated by Tamaki Wakaki. The series initially began as a Doujinshi at the 2016 Comic Market and was conceived by Tatsuya Takahashi and Misato Mitsumi, until it was turned into a manga series by Kadokawa Shoten and is now being handled by Tamiki Wakaki.
The series was based on the trio’s original experiences working at Aquaplus and follows Meiko Uehara, a college student who began working part-time at a PC shop in 1992, though the story is actually a front for an erotic games developer for bishojo games. The rest of the story follows Meiko as she becomes a sub-graphic artist even though she’s never drawn anything adult in her life, and has to strive to be a creator of erotic games.
The anime, Another Layer does not follow the manga’s story and tells an entirely new story by the writers.
