Airing on TV Tokyo, *Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun* is a hilarious romantic comedy that turns genre tropes upside down. When high school student Chiyo Sakura confesses her love to the stoic Umetarou Nozaki, a misunderstanding leads to her becoming his manga assistant, not his girlfriend. Chiyo is shocked to learn that the clueless Nozaki is secretly a famous shoujo manga artist.
The series follows Chiyo's chaotic attempts to get closer to Nozaki while helping him meet his deadlines. Along with a cast of quirky and eccentric classmates, she becomes the unwitting inspiration for his dramatic romance stories, even as their own love lives are a complete mess. This clever and charming anime has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns.
