THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Although I don't like Ken much int his show, he is quite amusing.

The shoujo manga development was kinda funny again. Well, we have Mamiko in her usual cliche moments from the fictional work.

And MAENO. LOL. This was gold.

I see why Nozaki picked his new editor to be Ken.
He can't stand Maeno's presence, not that I can either, lol.

It was nice to see Nozaki impersonating Mamiko during school. Chiyo really liked his bento and admitted that he is better cook than her. Even Mikorin had a share.

Carting Kashima around seemed pretty exciting, albeit on the extreme side. I guess Nozaki had fun portraying a female shoujo character, in the end.

Gotta love those Kashima x Hori moments.

That epilogue...lol.

Nozaki acting like Mamiko was hilarious. The moment he realised why he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment after hiding from Kashima's fangirls, I couldn't stop laughing.

This was brilliant.
So many funny moments this episode i really loved it.
The part where Kashima was driven around on the cart made me laugh none stop and then there was also the part where Mikota got the bento.
I also loved all those Tanuki they where very funny tho i feel a bit sorry for Miyako.

Nozaki portraying as Mamiko was very funny. Those bento's looked great that he made. The best bit was when he was with Kashima and running away from those girls.

If I've learned anything from this episode, is that "Tanuki tanuki, tanuki, tanuki tanuki tanuki, tanuki. And tanuki."

Also, being a guy eating a bento from another guy is completely acceptable. I mean, free food, right?

This series is too much fun :D

Nozaki's love for Ken is so lol and Sakura's reactions when she thought he's a mature woman XD Really love Sakura's tsukkomi'ing <3 Telling him that Ken just doesn't like him XD

But no wonder, if u have that kind of editor like Maeno, a trauma is inevitable XD Tanuki's everywhere XD

WAKAMOTO narrating was so good :3

"Nxt time...It's revealed to be Yamamoto-san" XD And Nozaki throwing the manga XD Hilarious XD Spoiling the culprit in the pv XD

"Those 2 only think about love and don't study enough" XD Says the author XD

Nozaki pushing Kashima running away from the girls thinking he knows now what it feels to have many girl enemies XD Then dumping her "I can't feel ur something special" XD

Waka incoming >.<

This show is still awesome, I love who Nozaki gets his inspiration for his manga from, both male and female, or is that female and male?

I love how the writer subverts gender stereotypes without actually subverting the gender of the characters.

And Ken is a great editor.

You do realize that is nothing cute about making your love interest feel inferior , right?
He even considered that he insulted her ....but nope?
She HAD to insult his "manliness" ........
I didnt find that cute at all.


Also the image needs some editing to show that he was about to transform into a super saiyajin!

Maeno's so full of himself that so far he's the one that has gotten the most emotion out of Nozaki.

Ken-chan is actually a pretty good editor--he picked out the three identical panels and identified a problem point and then he left it up to Nozaki to decide how to make them more expressive about Mamiko's feelings. The rest of the episode was straight laughs--clearly the comedy of the season if not the year.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Kawaisou, Nozaki no Editor-san. ;__;

When Nozaki was carting Kashima around I had to stop the video because I was laughing too loudly to hear anything. Glad I was home alone 'cause it was probably like a hyena or something.

In Conclusion: 2/10, not enough Mikorin. </3

Joking aside, the pacing felt quite different than usual, a little more like the first episode, but it was a hell of a lot of fun. And still really cute! Nozaki's infatuation with his editor is well-deserved. FFFFF Maenoooo *shakes fist*

OH the bean throwing instead of Valentines had me laughing hard. As a fan of Hatoful Boyfriend, it was like Legumentines/Mamentine had come to life a hundred years too early. XD

Chiyo's fantasy was shattered in an instant by that phone call and Nozaki's rush to clean up.

Chiyo's reaction to the fact that Nozaki said he wouldn't this stressed over a girlfriend and her misunderstanding what he said about his editor was pure gold XD.

Well... um... his editor is nothing like what Nozaki said he was like...

Poor Nozaki doesn't understand that his editor doesn't like and that he's not responding quickly at all, I'd say he's taking his sweet time actually... apparently he's faster than the ones that took an year to respond lol.

Nozaki sure didn't have a lot of luck when it came to editor it would seem...

TANUKI POWER!!!

LOL, that next chapter preview spoiled every dream of an interesting plot Nozaki had thought it would be.

We get to meet a new mangaka that this time around is a really girl that's a college student.

That Maeno seems like one annoying bastard... poor Miyako-sensei T.T

Hahahaha, Nozaki's outburst and the way Chiyo had to hold him was funny XD.

"Suzuki-kun... She keep calling out to Suzuki"... epic...

Hehe, Nozaki's going to play the role of Mamiko for the whole day XD.

LOL, the feeling of having girls as enemies by stealing Yuu away from them, priceless.

Nozaki toyed with Yuu's feelings and now she feels like she was dumped XD.

In the end Nozaki still went for the "study more" part that Mamiko was neglecting lol.

Continuing from the end of last ep. Cool lady? No, it was Otaku looking guy! Fast replying, and nice recommendations when asking for opinions. lol @ previous editor Maeno. Mangaka neighbor?! lol~ his editor is Maeno!!

Nozaki-kun's Bento to Nobu's character is actually delicious (oh, he made for the girl, too)! Helping out that trap who is popular with girls.

He realized he needs the girl in his manga to study?

I thought Ken was pretty much of an a-hole in this episode because of his personality, but then after seeing him on a few scenes and being a hard worker, he looks pretty cool. I agree on Nozaki that his previous editor was an a-hole.

LOL I was laughing when he is imitating as Mamoko to find out about feelings for his Manga XD. Also using Kashima as a prop for his ideas XD. Although I like the nice little moment between Kashima and Hori.

Yukari is not bad of a person, but she can be fooled easily when it comes to Mitsuya's pictures.

Wow, Nozaki-kun's previous editor is such a narcissist. Can't blame Nozaki-kun that he went with the much more competent, but emotionally colder editor. Those tanukis were indeed creepy.

The second skit was hilarious though. Having Nozaki-kun role-play as a shoujo heroine was gold enough, but put it through this show's genre subverting hands and it becomes brilliant. The parts surrounding Mikohiba and Kashima were my favorite.

And Norio Wakamoto as a narrator. Now my life is complete.

We don't know if Ken is really colder, he has much the same problem in dealing with Nozaki that Sakura does: Nozaki doesn't get the hint. Ken is actually an extremely good editor and he is trying to help Nozaki become a better writer, but he is frustrated that little actually gets through to Nozaki (a good example was when he had Nozaki read those three panels).

But that is what is so much fun about this series, if people actually got the hints this show would have been over in the first episode, but because no one gets it, they do.

And yes Kashima lifting the guy was cute, because Kashima inadvertently acts more like a boy than all the male characters in this show, all while still being 100% a woman (just like Mikoshiba inadvertently acts more like a girl than all the female characters in this show, all while still being 100% a man). That is where the charm and comedy of this show comes from.
