I hope that Sakura gets her courage up to tell Nozaki how she feels about him! Only 1 episode left!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Ah, I'm so sad to see that this show will be ending next episode. This was definitely the funniest series that I watched this season, possibly the most hilarious anime I've ever seen.

Again, Nozaki continues to study people for his manga. I find it quite curious that he hasn't yet used Sakura as an entire character reference; is it because it's hard to profile her personality, or some other reason? It seems that he views her in more dimensions than the other characters; actually, I have a difficult time defining Sakura's personality myself. She seems at once dreamy and down-to-earth, logical and somewhat idealistic. Unlike the typical shoujo heroine, there are plenty of times when she finds Nozaki to be quite realistic, and tires of some of his actions.

I feel Nozaki's pain, though. Often, when writing, there's a point where you hit what I call the "writing wall". It becomes difficult to think of new ideas, and you search desperately for something that would reactivate the plot or just create some action to lead back into the writing muse without seeming too ridiculous. Of course, it's a careful balance. Too fanciful and it's unbelievable and incredibly difficult to follow with a coherent story; too boring and you soon find yourself running out of words again. In a manga that seems like a very typical shoujo, I'm sure it's difficult to define yourself from others because there are many things that people want to see, and things that they don't want to see. Unfortunately, Nozaki doesn't seem to have a very good perception of what's an excessive surprise and what has the good balance. His actions towards Sakura, at lunch especially, were quite cute, but it's difficult to put them into a manga without them seeming strange or awkward. Indeed, it's the same for any type of writing- either it sounds great but then when you image it playing out in real life it's totally ridiculous, or it works in real life but sounds dull and somewhat awkward in the story.

And yet, in the background, we feel the question romance between Nozaki and Sakura approaching. It's been depicted as completely one-sided for most of the anime, or at least from our view, but yes, when Mikorin asked the question about what Nozaki thinks of Sakura, I realized that the idea of romance has been slowly growing throughout the series, and, judging from the preview of the next episode, it's going to be addressed directly. Hopefully. Knowing this anime, I'm sure there's going to be some sort of plot twist that will be funny and disappointing at the same time. And quite frankly, I actually don't mind if Nozaki and Sakura don't end up going out with each other, or Nozaki doesn't actually have feelings for her. The way they are now is fine; I mean, if there was romance added I wouldn't complain, but it's the evasion of romance that contributes to a lot of the humour in this series.

No no no. Better to end on a high note than to drag on into mediocrity. The one thing I love about Japanese shows is that they end. Better imagining what "could have been" then experiencing the "god this should have ended 5-12 episodes ago."

So true.

Only problem is, often enough they don't give us a good ending, so I really hope they do so with this show!

I watched both episodes 10 and 11, I think I liked episode 10 more though with more focus on WakaxSeo, I can't wait for Waka to finally realise Seo is Lorelei and does not have the tone deaf voice of The Prince.

Nozaki's ability to turn boy talk into an extremely girly talk is scary and I also like the fact that Hori still continues to get Mikoshiba's name wrong in episode 11 after discovering that Mamiko is based on Mikorin in episode 10.

I guess I caught up in time because the last episode should be out tonight.

This anime is amazing, I'm quite sad that there's only one episode left to go. One of the few animes where you love EVERY character that's been introduced, I never usually enjoy the cliche girly MCs in slice of lifes, but Chiyo has got to be the best girl ever lol can't get enough of her.

Uhhh but we know there definitely won't be any sort of development realistically speaking. This is what annoys me in this series, the romance is part of the joke, nobody will ever change.

Yet another case that remains of a unique beauty, never a dull moment over me.
Narrative that sees always take the piss every situation in every context, all the characters do their dirty work without making mistakes.

Surprising Sakura was hilarious. From Nozaki using himself as a chair, to popo up flowers, and Sakura taking the flowers which cause Nozaki's hand to fall off xD


Nice way to surprise someone furing lunch. Put the white rice on top, curry on the bottom, and they won't know there's curry there.



Amazing how rain can stop trains and cause traffic in a matter of minutes. Nozaki has a sleepover with Mikorin, Hori, and Waka.

The manga ideas are getting more hilarious. That "surprising idea" of Nozaki with Sakura. LOLOLOL.

Mikoshiba, Hori, Wakamatsu and Nozaki are having a sleepover party. Nozaki is taking it seriously, he is finding some ideas through the boys talk and stuff. LOLS.

One episode left.

God damn, that first half of Nozaki surprising Chiyo every time. So funny and when he said he just wanted to walk with her, that scene was good. I think the first half confirms it that Nozaki x Chiyo is the OTP.

Gotta love the second half too, that's what I call pure bromance between friends. Nozaki is such a good friend to them. :3
