She tells him that she is a fan of his, even though she means something different. He mistakes her for a real fan, which is why he gives her his autograph, but she tells him she wants to be with him forever. He invites her to his house and lets her help him out with a few manga drawings. Chiyo discovers that Nozaki is really a famous Shoujo Manga artist, Sakiko Yumeno. She accepts a job as one of his assistants to get closer to him. While working on his manga with him she meets the people who inspire his stories and the other assistants he has for his manga.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18648\" src=\"http:\/\/avo-magazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/gekkanshoujo-nozakikun.jpg\" alt=\"gekkanshoujo-nozakikun\" width=\"593\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/gekkanshoujo-nozakikun.jpg 593w, https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/gekkanshoujo-nozakikun-222x300.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main character Sakura Chiyo doesn\u2019t seem to ever be worried about very many things, which can sometimes be a bit annoying. She tends to think there\u2019s a romantic meaning behind everything, which causes her to be disappointed a lot. There\u2019s a bit too much comedy, which sometimes overshadows the romantic aspect of the show. This is why I would\u2019ve loved to have seen a bit more romance in the story.<\/p>\n<p>The drawing style is very pretty and colorful, the characters have also been portrayed very nicely. The opening is one of my personal favorites compared to others. It\u2019s a very cheerful and fun song, which even has some very nice guitar playing in it. Because I watched the subbed version, the original Japanese version, I thought the characters\u2019 voices were very fitting. For those of you who prefer dubbed versions: there is an English dub available for this anime.<\/p>\n<p>Sakura Chiyo would profit from being a bit less emotional, in my opinion. There was a little too much comedy for my liking, this could\u2019ve been balanced more by adding more romance. The opening song (Kimi Janakya Dame Mitai (\u541b\u3058\u3083\u306a\u304d\u3083\u30c0\u30e1\u307f\u305f\u3044)) was very well executed: the guitar play is nice and cheerful and the voice of Masayoshi Ooishi only adds to the perfection. Aside from that it\u2019s good to know that the manga is still ongoing, but there has no word on a possible second season yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studios:<\/strong> Doga Kobo<br \/>\n<strong>Started airing:<\/strong> 7th of July 2014<br \/>\n<strong>Number of Episodes:<\/strong> 12<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 85\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story starts with a schoolgirl names Sakura Chiyo, who secretly has a crush on Umetarou Nozaki.
