Lumayan meta. Manga shoujo tentang mangaka shoujo. Isinya menyindir trope-trope yang ada dalam manga shoujo, tapi ternyata cerita ini juga jatuh ke dalam lubang trope shoujo dan rom-com pada umumnya seperti main chara yang ga pekanya tingkat dewa dan ga jadi-jadi nembak

I watched the anime for this back when it aired, and I loved it! It had great characters, hilarious story, lots of references, and so much more! Then I heard about the manga being translated to English and I knew I just had to have it.
Now, it is finally here, and I really liked the manga. Though I have had the same problem I had with other manga that I read after I watched their anime and where the anime followed the manga closely. I just knew most of the jokes, and they fell flat now. They were still fun, but they just missed the impact they had when I first saw them.
Still I was delighted to see the characters again, to see Mikorin, Sae-chan, Sakura, our Prince and her murderous escort, and most important Nozaki-kun! Because even though Sakura is the main character, Nozaki takes a huge role. And thankfully so, as he is fantastic, silly, hilarious, brilliant, but also a huge idiot. He doesn't see it when people don't like him, he is at times rude, but doesn't see it, and when he makes up situations for his manga they are often just silly things that get scrapped quite soon.
His manga is brilliant (I love how he just uses his main guy character's head for everyone else, which causes quite a bit of confusion).
The manga is 4-koma, and I must say that it fits this series perfectly. Not always will it work, but with this one? I think if it was one long story, or chapters of stories, that the puns, the jokes, and the silly stuff would not work. That the characters wouldn't come out right. So I am really happy with this. Though it is a bit different from normal 4-koma stuff, instead of 2 times 4 panels, this one is just 1 time 4 panels.
I really loved to read about the manga process (and we even have a part about how stuff works), and I can't wait to read the rest of the manga to read more about how manga is made. :)
I also have to say that I feel sorry for Sakura, she loves Nozaki so much, and he? He doesn't even notice. Just thinks she is a fan. I do hope that the later books will show some progress about this.
All in all, this is one manga I would recommend if you are looking for a hilarious series with an oblivious character.

This is one of the funniest mangas I’ve ever read. It’s really innocent and cute, but the comedic timing is immaculate. It’s also in a joke per page format so it’s easy to share.

I finally got around to finishing the anime, and then felt compelled to pick up the manga because that ending was just not quite satisfying enough (though (unfortunately) very appropriate and in character).
I hadn't realized that this was a 4-koma comic like Azumanga Daioh. It made the flow of the anime make a lot more sense. Not that it didn't make sense before, but each episode seems to be comprised of skits, which had been a surprising choice to me. I wasn't a fan of the Azumanga Daioh anime (though I thought the manga was great), but so far I have enjoyed this in both of its forms.
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is super cute and rather clever with how it subverts different shoujo cliches and tropes. For that, I have enjoyed it greatly. Definitely a funny, light hearted read that was very needed in my life right now. Can't wait to finish it!

I haven't laughed out loud at a manga for so long. <3

This was a fun story, with lots of laugh out loud moments. It reads like a list of mini scenarios, so there aren't any of the slower moments of transition between scenes. Because of this, even though its mostly talking heads throughout, it reads fast and with a lot of energy. Sometimes this speed made it a little difficult to tell who was saying what on panels where the speakers weren't in the image. It also took some time getting used to the shift between real life and the manga imaginings of the characters, as there were no obvious clues (such as change in style or shading), but after a little while I was able to pick up on the subtle clues.
