About the series
Charming and meta, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun is a Yen Press comedy manga series (2015–present) that flips the shōjo romance genre on its head. High school student Chiyo Sakura confesses her love to her crush, Umetarō Nozaki—only to discover he’s a reclusive shōjo manga artist who mistakes her for a fan and recruits her as his assistant. What follows is a delightful, gag-driven series of misunderstandings as Chiyo and an eccentric cast of classmates help Nozaki meet his deadlines, all while the actual romance takes a backseat to the absurdities of manga creation.
