Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun? More like, THIS SERIES WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH UNTIL YOU CRY

I really love all the characters, and the author gets double kudos for upsetting gender roles/stereotypes so frequently. The art is amazing, especially the colour pages at the beginning- and though it took a while to get used to, I find the 4 panels per page format a nice change for manga.

Also, I know, I know, it's probably never, ever going to happen. The couples in this manga are mostly just for comedic purposes and likely aren't going to get together... But, seriously, I SHIP EVERYONE SO MUCH. Sakura and Nozaki, Kashima and Hori, Seo and Waka. Mikoshiba and... Ehhhh, Mikoshiba has his video games lmao

Oooh, but one thing I've always wondered is whether this is classed as a shoujo or shounen series? Like, it completely turns all the shoujo tropes on their heads, and I remember my friend telling me it was shounen... But the art style, and lots of the characters do still seem fairly shoujo... I DON'T KNOW

Oh yeah, and, if you haven't already seen it, I'd definitely recommend the anime! It sticks really closely to this amazing manga series, and the voice acting is brilliant ((:

When you thought the misunderstandings couldn't get worse, then you read this volume which is so full of misunderstandings I was just laughing my butt off and also wondering how anyone in the world could go through so many misunderstandings.

And I am already laughing hard when I read this manga, as it is just totally hilarious. But in this one I was laughing even harder. I also showed several pages to my boyfriend and he was in stitches as well.

I am also delighted to see some manga-only things. It has been some time since I watched the anime (when it aired), but I don't remember several jokes that were in this volume. So we are finally getting closer to having some original stuff that the anime hasn't touched. \o/ Don't get me wrong, I am happy that the anime did such a good job, but it does make reading manga a bit boring.

I have several favourite scenes, but two of them would be when Seo and Wakamatsu go on a "date", and the other when Nozaki had to learn to remember the seating places in his manga, and every time they tried to teach him he just drew exactly what was in front of his nose. He just couldn't see his characters. :P

I also still feel sorry for Sakura. That poor girl still likes Nozaki (though I really don't get why with each passing volume), and he just doesn't get the hint. Or thinks she is thinking something totally different. I just can't imagine these 2 getting together.

I also love the other characters, though I have to say I just hate that blonde manga-editor. He is just so obnoxious. :|

The art is really great, and I have the feeling it gets better with each volume.

What more? I think I said all I wanted, though I have one last thing left. I would highly recommend this one to everyone!

This was so much fun and so wholesome. I don't think I have ever been this happy reading something; Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is, really, my favorite manga out there. What I liked best in this volume was THE COVER ohmygod I love these two so much and I adore especially how unapologetically tall Kashima is compared with Masayuki and that this doesn't play a lot in their relationship... it's just a stream of fresh air! Love them so much. My favorite part in this volume was the talk about the mixer party and the theater mini-arc!

Howling with laughter on every single page - Mikorin and Seo are so much fun together, and Nozaki's SWOON sign is just too much.

Read 2. This one has more side stories than the last one. It’s ridiculous, how oblivious these people are sometimes.

This was hilarious! I really enjoy how this digs at the shojo genre's typical cliches and instances that it includes. Mikoshiba is still my favorite. He's hilarious how he flirts and then gets embarrassed about it.

Loved it!

the first one was kind of a drag and I was going through it without picking up on the plot so once I got to this one I was like ! jokes--I actually laughed? but still confused because I didn't remember who was who or what their main thing was
