The manga depicts the craft of movie-making and revolves around Joelle Davidovich "Pompo" Pomponette, a talented movie producer who looks like a little girl.
Operating out of the movie capital "Nyallywood," Pompo has been shooting one B-grade entertainment flick after another that anyone would enjoy. One day, Pompo's "movie buff" assistant Gene spots a new script written by Pompo, and is moved by its exquisite story. In a fit of passion, he proclaims, "I want to see this as a finished work in theaters as soon as possible!"
However, Pompo tells him, "So you shoot this film." Thus, Gene takes on his first directing gig. Meanwhile, Natalie, an ordinary girl who just arrived in town with movie actress dreams, has been discovered by Pompo.

Where it came from
Pompo: The Cinéphile originated as a popular web manga series by Shogo Sugitani, which gained a dedicated following for its passionate exploration of the filmmaking process. In 2021, the studio CLAP adapted the work into a feature-length animated film directed by Takayuki Hirao. The production was intended as both a love letter to the medium of cinema and a grounded look at the technical and creative sacrifices required to bring a vision to the screen, centered on a talented but eccentric film producer named Pompo.
The aesthetic of the film was heavily influenced by the vibrant, energetic style of the original source material, emphasizing the frantic pace of post-production. The animation team focused on utilizing dynamic editing techniques and lighting effects to mirror the protagonist's own obsession with the 'magic' of film cutting. Upon release, the work was well-received by critics and audiences alike, particularly within industry circles, for its sincere portrayal of the creative struggle and its heartfelt tribute to the joy of watching movies.
