Mangaroos

Ep. 25 - Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun vol. 1, by Tsubaki Izumi (feat. Minami Sakai)

Mangaroos

The fourth Mangaroo is back! We're always happy to have Minami Sakai drop by Mangaroos Mansion, because she provides us with hard-earned manga industry insider knowledge. And what better manga to apply that wisdom to than Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun? This is a comedy series known for its inside-baseball takes on Shojo manga tropes and the manga production process.

In this episode, we learn about the art of Kishōtenketsu storytelling, sloppily dissect Japanese comedy styles, and witness a Shojo manga bromance blossoming before our very eyes.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Minami mentions that the PV and MangaPark serialization of her series, 爆死して乙女ゲーに転生したので推しルートを攻略します!or "I Bombed a Pull So Bad it Yeeted Me into an Otome Game, so I'm Gonna Clear My Best Boy's Route!"would be up on November 15th, but they got pushed back! They will likely be available in December or later (exact date TBD).

Buy chapters of Minami's manga here.

Also! Minami totally likes and approves of a lot of Shogakukan Shojo manga. She is not hating on Shogakukan Shojo in any way.

Enjoy the episode!
