Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Vol. 8

I had no interest in this series based on the summary and the advertising I had seen, but my brother was home for the summer and said he had read it and found it hilarious, so I gave it a try. It's amazing! I love every single one of the characters and how they interact. The art style is nice too. The only thing I would warn is that the mangaka pulls no punches - makes fun of every aspect of the craft, so now I find myself looking for mistakes I'd never have noticed in all the manga I read (like, did the order they are sitting in change? Are their height differences consistent?). Now I feel like the people who look for moved objects in movies . . .

An excellent read! Wakamatsu discovers the truth about Mikoshiba that made Nozaki go into a slump was hilarious. Also the meeting between Seo's brother Ryousuke and Waka was something you would not have expected. As for Hori's feelings for Kashima was still a double edged sword since he does not remember what went down! Poor Sakura, she tries her best but Nozaki is still a moron at times.

I do love this series, its easy to read and hilarious. The characters really make this manga. I'd say its hilarious and appropriate for all ages.I just want to know where vol. 9 is... can't seem to find it on amazon.

I love this series!

Umetarou' quest for new inspiration for his manga continues as he involves his friends in bizarre games, while Chiyo not so subtly drops hints that she loves him (good god, this girl tries!) They try to find new romantic tropes to apply in the manga, but are outdone by reality when they find out some systems have changed! (I loved random library dude wondering whether these two ever checked out a library book, LOL) Not to be demoralized, they try another method, which leads to even more strangers getting caught up in the misunderstanding. By the way, we learn something new about manga publishing again - this time, about hashira, the blank space to the side where authors usually put their comments in the volume.Mikoshiba and Wakamatsu officially meet each other as Umetarou's assistants, and they are both surprised by the other being interested in the job. But hey, even Umetarou's little sister (who we are introduced to, through an extra) doesn't believe he could be a shoujo manga artist. Speaking of older brothers and younger sisters, Ryosuke's protectiveness over Yuzuki makes his colleagues think his sister is sheltered or something, which makes for a hilarious event when the former asks Kashima to help out temporarily at the cafe. This also drags Hori and Wakamatsu to the place, which leads to a tense, confounding and hilarious meeting between brother and henchman/love-interest.Mayu accompanying Mikoshiba to a mixer, though? That had to be my favorite part of this manga! I honestly don't want to spoil any moment of that glorious confusion, so I'll just leave it at that. Oh, and Seo causing an entire new currency to be coined in the school? That was funny, even though I didn't exactly understand how they were making that. (God, I so want Wakamatsu and Seo to finally be a couple!)

Every page is a gem. Savour it like the fine wine of all comedy 4-koma that it is.

ok

the characters are so cute.
