THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
That was cute :>

Chiyo is adorable. The artwork of the show is quite something as well. Umetarou is a character that I find to be strict yet could be appealing as well. I think the manga has more humor so hopefully we'll see more of that soon. I find Chiyo's imaginations to be overboard lol.

I really like the charm of this show so far though.

OP is favorable. lol @ the opening interaction (failed confession). She followed him without knowing that he wants assistant on his manga. She didn't know until helping out that he uses female pen name to publish shoujo manga. And he notices her art.

This is so funny yet sad. The girl helping him out with manga (idea and assistant) while liking him, but he only considers her as his assistant without knowing that she likes him. Her confession failed again.

ED is cute.

lol~ Nobu's character! So he's assistant.

I also quite liked the OP song and video (when they attack that tanuki lollll)
But yeah.. The pacing is too slow!! The manga is hilarious! But it doesn't work if they keep going back to Chiyo's romantic feelings! We know she likes him, now get the gags going...!!
Well, some Mikoshiba next time, that should be funneh :D

I wonder if Nozaki is gay, besides doesn't the info states that his inspiration came from one of his assistant who is a guy.

That's the inspiration for the personality of one of the characters from his manga, not for the romance events or anything else within.

Eh.... not really into shounen made for a shoujo audience

There were a couple of funny parts but I'm really not into the shoujo art style.. idk to me it makes it look like Nozaki is 25 years old

Holy crap that opening <3 The acoustic guitar slapping is pure win.

That was a pretty funny first episode. This show definitely has potential if it goes down the right track. Animation and BGM was a bit lack luster, but the comedic value is there and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

That was funny!
The introduction as a mangaka on the book compared to the actual author xD
The two person bike, Chiyo's reaction calling it lame! Imagined it in an actual shoujo manga but then it came!
Chiyo being really happy then those disappointments!
Her constant blushing and tried to confess twice as a lover fan! She was really cute ^w^
Mikoshiba comes, those descriptions gave by Nozaki! Can't judge a person by their looks! A big main cast!

Cute series :3 I think I'm gonna like this :3

Lol'd at the beginning XD Quite the confession there "I want to always be with u" XD and how easy was that "Okay, u want to go home with me?" XDXDXD

She didn't even know he's a manga artist and did the Beta for 4 hrs XD

How his class treats him and how he's tactless even though he can depict women's emotions in his manga so well was lol

Dat double cycle was so lol XD How he first said a couple riding together would be against the rules so ofc he can't use it XD

The shoujo he's writing is so cute :3 How the hell does someone like that write this stuff XD And the VAing for the manga is cute too ^^

For someone who writes Shoujo manga this guy is so dense XDXDXD "What's so good about a guy like that XD"

I was thinking this is really fast paced if she really does confess at the end but Seems like we still have a way to go with that fail XD

And Dat Mikorin XDXD Really soothing type indeed XD "Liar" XD

Awesome episode, I fell in love with this series already.
Nozaki and Sakura are so funny and actually do look quite cute together.
LOL at the bicycle scene. I never would have expected Sakura to do that.
and LOL @ Nozaki: " What's so good about a guy like that?"

This wasn't a show I was expecting to pick up but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot.
The other student's reactions when they were on the two-seater bike was hilarious. And Sakura is so cute ahhhh c:

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Liked opening song a lot! The episode was fun. For me, some places seemed a little bit dragged out (like the second confession scene), but that's understandable, because they're adapting 4 koma manga after all.
Seeing Mikorin at the end was fun~ Looking forward to some Seo action next week.

Ohooo, Chiyo is really cute :3!

Um... Nozaki looks like he's older than someone in high school should be lol.

Chiyo... I'm sorry to say... but... you have failed...

Hahahaha, Chiyo thinking it was easy to get Nozaki to call her over to his place XD (I think he misunderstood what she was trying to tell him lol).

LOL, Chiyo thinks poor Nozaki brings girls over all the time.

Hahahha, Chiyo's reacted to Nozaki being a mangaka only afte she was leaving his place XD.

Oh yeah, Nozaki's exactly like those guys that wrote the article think "she" is...

LOL, nobody believed him when he told them that he's Yumeno Sakiko XD.

Yes Chiyo, he's after your talent not your body!

A bike for two! Good job Nozaki!

LOL, now Chiyo's with the two person bike hype XD.

Damn, Nozaki is totally oblivious...

LOOOL, the cat headbutted Nozaki after looking so weak on that branch!

Holy crap now he's got himself a whole cat family!

Chiyo... you have failed once again... but look on the bright side... you have another one of his autographs!

Yeah... Mikorin is exactly as Nozaki described him to be!

This series sure is funny. I haven't read the manga and whatnot so I can't say how it fares compared to that, but I like it.

The epitome of "will senpai ever notice me". Pretty cute and simple romcom. That's all i need to be happy with this show.

Probably edgy trolls thinking that anything that is romcom is cancer that is killing anime. Ignore them, they're just a vocal minority (note that it's just 6.9 right now with only 28 votes)

Ah pure love from shojo manga, how nice. I will definitely enjoy this title. Hopefully the story will develop in one way or another as 12 episode only about misunderstood love will last only few episodes more. Still if something got an anime adaptation it should have good development and I am looking forward to find out in which way it will go.

I liked the episode. Felt kinda similar to Itazura na Kiss without the badass teasing main male. Cant decide if thats good or bad yet, lets see :)
For now 8/10 from me.

I thought this was well done, it didn't really look like it was adapted from a 4-Koma even though some parts were a little dragged out.
I hope more people give this a try without shrugging it off as a boring shoujo or typical rom com. Since the manga is a gag manga.

Ahh... MAL didn't update the score for several hours. Still struck at 6.93. So I went to check the stats and calculated. Yup by the time i wrote this, it's 7.71 scored by 223 users.
The non-updated low score might make people not want to watch it :( Hope it could be updated soon.
