Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun

月刊少女野崎くん

When Chiyo Sakura works up the nerve to confess to her tall, deadpan classmate Umetarou Nozaki, he hands her an autograph instead. It turns out Nozaki secretly draws a popular shoujo romance manga under the pen name Sakiko Yumeno, and Chiyo signs on as his assistant just to stay near him. Inking pages and gathering reference, she gets pulled into a circle of friends like Mikoshiba and Kashima, whose tangled personalities keep feeding both Nozaki's manga and the comedy around them.
