Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun

Prepare for a delightful dive into the unexpected as a high school girl's earnest confession takes a hilariously wrong turn. Sakura Chiyo, hopelessly smitten with the stoic and oblivious Umetarou Nozaki, attempts to declare her feelings, only to find herself handed an autograph and recruited as his assistant. It turns out Nozaki isn't just any classmate; he's a celebrated shojo manga artist, writing under a female pen name, and his real-life experiences – or lack thereof – become the bizarre inspiration for his romantic tales. What follows is a charmingly chaotic exploration of the manga industry, high school life, and the comical misunderstandings that arise when art imitates a very peculiar reality. Join Sakura as she navigates the eccentric personalities of Nozaki's creative circle, all while secretly hoping her affections might, one day, finally get through to the man who can craft intricate romantic dramas on paper but remains utterly clueless in person.
