Gekkan shôjo Nozaki-kun

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.

This is how it goes in high school, don't expect the relationship to be extremely hot. It is adorable and true. Love at this age is often called a friendship between a bot and a girl and this is what it is. This is a teenage romance before the first kiss. If you know that in the manga Nozaki tells his little sister that he had an eye on Sakura from the very beginning, but she was the first to address him, the little events in the anime would seem more meaningful as they are for the teenagers in the show. Besides, such tandem, a huge athletic phlegmatic and his short superactive girlfriend (whom he sometimes carries from place to place) is a couple no one can resist in their sympathies. The way they are monopolizing each other is such a sweet recognizable childish approach. The same goes for the other couples. The emotions and images are very well-balances and the sound background is great.

Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun is an amazing work of art. Main characters are lovable and the chemistry is fun to watch. I laughed a lot of times in this anime and watched a number of times and can watch many more times.

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.
