Goodreads Synopsis:
To the eyes of classmate
Chiyo Sakura, high school student Umetarou Nozaki--brawny of build and
brusque of tongue--is a dreamboat! When Chiyo finally works up the
courage to tell Nozaki how she feels about him, she knows rejection is
on the table...but getting recruited as a mangaka's assistant?! Never in
a million years! As Chiyo quickly discovers, Nozaki-kun, the boy of
Chiyo's dreams, is a manga artist...a hugely popular shoujo manga
artist, that is! But for someone who makes a living drawing sweet girly
romances, Nozaki-kun is a little slow on the uptake when it comes to
matters of the heart in reality. And so Chiyo's daily life of manga
making and heartache begins!
Review:
After taking a break from this
series, and reading more of her Oresama
Teacher series, I
think her humor has started growing on me again. This volume was a
lot of fun, and just what I was looking for. I'm very behind, but I
might have to catch up.
There's a rather big cast in this series, and I tend to
forget who some of them are. We got a few chapters featuring side
characters, like Nozaki's publishing team—his editor and his
friends, like at a school reunion. Aside from that, there are some
miscommunicated dating attempts, a visit to the glee club, a check in
with the theater club. Chiyo finds her forgotten Valentine's
chocolates for Nozaki, and Wakamatsu discovers and renames some
tones.
I really do enjoy all of the time spent working on Nozaki's manga,
and how crazy it can be. Seeing his flaws in that area is also quite
funny. The other school antics are great, and all of the characters
are so odd. It's a lot of fun to read.
I'm really looking forward to the next one now.
