Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun

Why am I awarding this show five stars? Well because this show mainly features an incredibly interesting group of unique characters where almost everyone is a little different than they first appear. The main male protagonist secretly creates a very successful shoujo manga, even though he has no personal experience with love and seems unromantic in real life. Mikoshiba is so delicate and gentle that many girls would envy him, although he ineptly tries to mask it by looking like a delinquent. The idol of the school for most female students is a girl who acts the lead male role, usually that of a prince. And there is an idol with an angelic singing voice who is a tactless, rude, and tomboyish girl. The interactions between these characters are often incredibly entertaining and elevate this otherwise fairly decent shoujo, at least in my view, to a great experience I was looking forward to. I, therefore, have no choice but to give full marks to the originality. Because I was right royally entertained, I did not even mind that it did not really go anywhere during the twelve episodes.
