Manga Review: Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Volume 6, by Izumi Tsubaki


Rating (Out of 5): ~4
Publisher: Yen Press
Release Date: February 2017
Volumes: 10+
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 1. 5. 7.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Hit shoujo manga-ka and high school boy Umetarou Nozaki will do just about anything to find ideas for his manga! He'll test his courage with horror games. He'll even play the role of the girl manager for a sports team! But will he get that romantic payoff at the end? Better yet, will Chiyo, whose passion spirals out of control when her beloved Nozaki is away?!

Review:

I love all of the ridiculous relationships and characters in this series. Nozaki is always doing crazy things as research for his manga, like when he drags Hori and Kashima to do a scare test by staying at school overnight, and when he experiments with doing a horror story by turning off the lights and playing a text-only video game with Sakura and Mikoshiba.
Then we see Sakura missing Nozaki during the break and going to visit him, in his parents' home. Nozaki and Seo attempt coaching basketball, and Kashima tries not to talk to Hori to get ready for a role. There's also a texting debacle starring Nozaki's younger brother, and I love seeing how utterly bad he is at it.
I am quite infatuated with this series now. I can't wait to read more, and might even have to try the anime.

  1. Ah, it is good series (even if I had read only scanlations). Didn't watched the anime version, was it good in your's opinion?
