Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun, Vol. 6, by Izumi Tsubaki 146 pages
This lighthearted romantic comedy stars high schooler Sakura Chiyo. When she confesses her crush to stoic upperclassman Umetarou Nozaki, he doesn’t quite understand what she’s trying to tell him—instead, he thinks she’s found out about his secret career writing romance manga, and hires her as his assistant.
Nozaki-kun is still more comedy than romance; if you’re expecting any actual progress in the relationship between Chiyo and Nozaki (or in any other characters’ romances, for that matter), then I’d recommend a different series. This is the slowest of slow burns. If you’re looking for lighthearted comedy, though, I recommend this series quite heartily. It’s funny, sweet, and sincere.
