MONTHLY GIRLS NOZAKI KUN GN (2025)

"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!"

"Umetarou Nozaki, a high school student leading a double life as an ultra-popular shoujo mangaka, is an extraordinary guy. But not to be outdone by Nozaki-kun, the people who hang out with him are pretty unique in their own rights too for some reason - and that's just one way of putting it! With the main cast finally assembled, the romance and gags are turned up a notch in Volume 2 of this zany comedy!"

Then, Nozaki gets his hands on a girls' dating sim after an attempt to cozy up to his editor, and the boys have a sleepover to play it through, only to be shocked silly by the absurd plot twists! And wait, what's this? Nozaki has a little brother who's as much of a weirdo as he is?"

"The Umetarou Nozaki party heads for the sun and surf! When the group tags along for the drama club's training camp, summer fun runs amok, and season gags abound, whether at the best, at the inn, or even in the bath! And if that's not enough drama, the story of the spring day Chiyo fell in love with a certain rather dense young man is finally told!"

Yuzuki Seo will never give up! Although her past attempts at confessing to Wakamatsu were met with... well, not a positive response... she will keep trying until they get across! But before her next attempt, Mashima and Hori-senpai agree to teach her about love. Might they come to some new realizations themselves?

Today...is not the day. Although Nozaki maybe sort of noticed he might have certain feelings, the actual shape of them is still pretty fuzzy.

Meanwhile, Hori and Kashima's communication is as stellar as ever, while Mikoshiba just can't accept another person's feelings for the idol he likes...

Seo witnessed something impossible: Wakamatsu promising to go on a date with a classmate. Sakura witnessed something unacceptable: Nozaki reminiscing about a date with an underclassman. It's gonna take some serious sleuthing to get to the bottom of this situation... But if Seo and Sakura were half as good at untangling misunderstandings as they are at starting them, it'd be a snap!
