(L+CR) Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

[MCAL]

Can't believe its ending next episode. I'm gonna miss this show.

Thought the first half was kind of meh, but the "Boys' Sleepover" was hilarious. Wished it went on longer.

[HandofFate]

I liked the bit when they were commenting on Waka's muscles as a parallel to girls comparing breast size, since I remember during gym class in the showers, the guys did do that lol.

[dniv]

That was a pretty funny episode. I also liked the second part more than the first half, but "I didn't win any of them." Poor Mikorin.

Also, that PV.

I really hope we get a season 2 for this.

[Random Wanderer]

"Could it be that you've actually read my manga?! What a shock!"

Poor Nozaki is so scarred from Maeno.

...Nozaki, the flowers would have been a perfectly fine manga development. The fake hand, not so much.

Chiyo... just... temper your excitement or you're going to kill yourself.

Oh hey, sleepover.

[Mubyoshi]

Damn, already last episode next week. This episode was so freakin' hilarious lol. The first part with the whole editor thing was entertaining haha.

[GDiddy]

I like how Nozaki was being all seriously divaish around Ken-san in the first half...

[Master_Yoma]

Nozaki still being an idoit but that some sleepover poor Nozaki missed everything

Chiyo is just so cute

[yulinard]

When will they do ch 48? Its on the opening but I doubt they use it for last EP.

[MgMaster]

Quite a few RomComs have girl late night talks about romance but a guys late night talk? Never saw that before. Well played, Nozaki-kun, well played

[Marcus H.]

Suddenly, the fact that there's just one episode left is a bit saddening.

[Guardian Enzo]

There'll definitely be a sequel. Show might sell 10K, and the manga sales have exploded. Might be a little while for the manga to get far enough ahead is all.

[Lota]

It shouldn't be that long of a wait, really. The adaptation will probably stop at chapter 38. There are still some very exciting chapters prior to ch 38 that are good to use in the 2nd season continuity-wise. And with the amount of chapters released so far, I think that in a year we will have more than enough chapters to adapt. So my guess is that, if we do get one, we should expect a second season in about a year, maybe two.

About the episode itself, looooooved it Poor Sakura, she thought she was about to be pranked and the guy just wanted to walk her home XD

As for the preview, isn't that

Spoiler for Manga spoiler. Kinda... you won't get it anyway...:

the apple bit in a deliberately confusing angle?

[ookamigirl]

Nozaki and his editor relationship... ROFL
That Nozaki sure had some pretty weird reactions.
Also his stories tend to go in weird directions if his friends don't stop it.
Damn, he really is one unusual guy.
Poor Sakura got stuck in his weird plot experiment.
Every time she got her hopes up about Nozaki, he totally messed it up with some weirdness.
Luckily, the bento thing and walk home were just perfect (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡
Of course he used it all for his manga..
Guys hangout at Nozaki's sure made Mikoshiba stressed.
That was the weirdest sleepover of all time (◎ヮ◎)
Damn, I really wanted to hear the answer to the Sakura question..

Yes, I can't wait for season 2. Also, the same thought was going through my mind. Chiyo was so focused on the pranking that she didn't focus on her time spent with Nozaki when he wanted to walk with her home for the first time.

That was my favorite ironic part.

As to the last part of your post:

Spoiler for Manga spoiler. reply to Kinda... you won't get it anyway...:

Yes. I was saying to myself as I saw it... THAT TROLL PV.

[Benigmatica]

Man, this show is ending soon that I feel like crying... I'm gonna miss Sakura-chan and Nozaki-kun!

You weren't the only one.

I'm preparing myself for twin disappointments. (1) The maybe a kiss in progress scene in the preview turns out to definitely be a not a kiss in progress scene. (2) The end of the series.

I'm normally on-board with relationship advancement, but it feels as if getting Nozaki and Chiyo into a relationship runs the risk of making this a more conventional show. I like the way it subverts demographic boundaries and gender stereotypes, and keeps the whole relationship equation a confusing mess.

I empathize too strongly with Chiyo's unrequited love to want it to continue indefinitely. Sometimes it hurts me to watch. Also, I believe the mangaka is talented enough that the subversion would continue even if on the surface Nozaki and Chiyo's relationship took a more conventional route.

You know, if he's just not interested maybe it would be the best thing if she just moved on?

If somehow Sakura does get Nozaki into a relationship (maybe she can sell it as a research opportunity) I fear she'd just end up as the anime Amy Farrah Fowler anyway.

I would agree with you if I were convinced Nozaki wasn't interested. (Ignoring the whole "it's not so easy to move on" issue.) However, I'm not convinced that Nozaki isn't interested. Quite frankly I have no idea how Nozaki feels about Chiyo beyond appreciating her help with his manga. Until Nozaki reveals to the audience that he's not interested, I'll continue to wear my shipping goggles.

Sorry, but the Amy Farrah Fowler reference was meaningless to me. Even after a quick Google/Wiki search to discover who Fowler is, I still won't compare Sakura with a character I have no first-hand knowledge about.
