Gekkan shôjo Nozaki-kun

This anime is a refreshing and positive rom-com anime with a realistic background and atmosphere yet cliché.

The story is about Chiyo who has a crush on Nozaki, the story follows up through Chiyo with Nozaki as the protagonist with exploring characters that come with their own traits and talents. The characters run through the lives of manga-ka Nozaki and are shown primarily through Chiyo. The gags are derived from the ongoing bizarre relationship between the characters and the atmosphere at the schools.

The directing and animation were spot on. Despite having a brilliant premise and background, the characters are funny but one-dimensional, the opening and ending music was not good, the gags are sometimes not connected with the audience and felt repetitive nevertheless it's not your other shoujo anime it connects with both the audience. Hoping there's an S2.

I watched this show dubbed and honestly, this is one of the only anime's I've ever seen where I was actually laughing out loud at most of the jokes. Comedy aside, the story is great and the characters are funny and relatable. This show would definitely benefit from a second season because some plotlines deserve to be explored further but the way it is right now, it's great.

When I first heard of this title, I thought, "Oh great, another romantic series I have to fake being obsessed over." Now, I am not one to hate every one of these series, but let me tell you, my mind was BLOWN! This series is a gag on shoujo manga, and even other anime titles as well!

Nozaki Umetarou, who goes by another alias called "Sakiko Yumeno", is a renowned manga artist. Sakura Chiyo, the cutest main character I've seen in a while, has a crush on him. Upon confessing her feelings, which Nozaki himself believes to be a fan of his, gives him her autograph. From then on, Chiyo actually discovers that he is a renowned manga artist, and agrees to be his assistant.

The manga they work on, "Let's Fall in Love" also takes inspirations from their fellow classmates, who also assist and encounter them for their work.

Lastly, I started reading the manga right after the TV series concluded, and I must say, I was not at all disappointed. I read from beginning to its present chapter, and I have had not felt good since I read something.

10/10, for the off-the-wall humour, lovable characters, colourful animation, and overall, a story that hasn't made me laugh in forever.

An anime on Netflix about a high school girl having a crush on another student that wrote shoujo manga.

I enjoyed how cute and hilarious this anime was. Each character had their own funny personality, and their interactions provided constant comedies. Many scenes had me laugh out loud because these characters misread situations and were oblivious.

The style of the anime was unique because characters were similar to typical characters in shoujo manga or anime. The comedy also came from characters reacting to situations based on what they read in a shoujo manga while the shoujo manga author character wrote his story based on the characters he interacted with. It's a funny way of looking at how people can look at life based on manga.

As for problems, the anime wandered a lot. Characters interacted frequently, but it seemed like the story didn't progress much. Because of this, the end felt rushed, even though it was cute.

Overall, a short, fun, and entertaining anime. 7.5/10.

(7/10) A fairly standard romance anime about a girl who is in love with an romantic manga author who is oblivious to emotions unless he is writing about them. This series is cute and funny at times, while it was fairly run of the mill I did enjoy the number of romantic story lines occuring between almost all feature characters.
