This is probably one of the funniest 4-komas I've read in a LONG LONG LONG while, especially since a lot of popular gag 4-komas and manga are echii.

But THIS is an absolutely hilarious read.

Story: (7): There is a plot. It does exist. But it's not really something that needs expanding upon. Initially, the plot is that Chiyo has a crush on Nozaki-kun, and wants to be closer to him. But in the end, she ends up being his mangaka assistant. She keeps trying, but always returns to square one due to a mutual obliviousness. Don't expect too much romance development, as this manga's main ... purpose is to produce laughs. So don't expect sudden plot twists regarding romance. But, all the same, it's fun to see how everything develops, so this still gets a decent score.

Art: (9): I love the art in this, the emphasis on tones, inking, and using different styles in order to convey the different mangaka's styles inside of the manga universe. It's good.

Characters: (10): The highlight of the entire series. Each and every single character is enjoyable, relatable, and hilarious in their own unique way. I have not encountered a single character I would not want to see more of. Even the side characters are amazing. As more and more characters are introduced, the story continues to improve.

Enjoyment: (10): I re-read this whenever I'm a bit down. I then leave my laptop giggling like a maniac. Nuff' said.

Overall: (9): A good read if you're interested in comedy, some romance, and 4-komas. If you're serious about romance, then I'd be a bit vary about this one, because the romance seems to get nowhere. At. All. But it's still an absolutely fabulous read, and I'd recommend to it to everyone who's just itching to get a good laugh.
