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.

If you ever feeling down or sad, try to read Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. Believe me, this manga will make you laughed the hell out of it.

Story : It has a pretty nice start. A girl confessed to a boy she likes. Turns out, the boy mistook her as one of his 'fans' and ended up giving his autograph. Well, who knows. The boy was a professional shoujo-mangaka. As the story progress, you can see that Chiyo had to struggle to caught Nozaki's attention but Nozaki is not seemingly aware with Chiyo's feeling towards him. The manga consisted with 90% comedy and 10% romance, so you can't expect any significant romance development between Nozaki and Chiyo in here. It's an 8/10.

Art : The art was great itself. It was well drawn! The mangaka pointed some of the tools they usually used when making manga and it was a new information for me. Also, the manga uses a different art style for every manga they drew in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, so it won't confused you. It's a 9/10.

Character : The character were superb. You have the dense shoujo mangaka, his assistants (which consist with : the one who he mistook as a fan that's in charge of inking, the playboy yet shy who's in charge of effects, the tired reliable senpai who's in charge of background and the first year athlete who's in charge of screen tone), the school prince and the 'wild' Lorelei, the editors etc. The characters were all unique to begin with, and sometimes their interactions were just pure hilarious. It was a 9/10 from me.

Enjoyment : As I said, whenever I feel down or sad or maybe just bored, I immediately read this manga from chapter 1 again. I could never got bored with the story because every page was just pure hilarious and has it own greatness. It was a perfect score from me for the enjoyment.

Overall : A great 9/10. You're looking for a hilarious 4-koma manga? Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is your answer. Each page will make you laugh and you'll want to read some more. You won't regret reading this.
