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.

This was sooo good! It was a perfect mixute of comedy and romance and it reallly made you root for the main carachters. Everyone in here has such unique personalities, they're all very well developed and often do unespected things. The only bad side is that there's only one season. I wish there would be more!

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.

(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.

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.
