Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the first 12 chapters or so have a pretty bad translation. So if that's not your thing, the anime covered those pretty well while excising a few jokes here and there. Another group picked up the manga afterwards, so everything from 12 on is fine.

Taniguchi Jun'ichirou, the character designer and animation supervisor for the Nozaki anime, put up his weekly Nozaki illustration anyway: "Thanks for watching Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun! 1 season was not enough! >_< I want to work on season 2 soon! Keep on cheering for us!" https://twitter.com/syaorin_2009/status/516189795765063680 Also, Seo is still the best.

I am sad that I discovered Nozaki-kun on episode 10 so there wasn't much left for me to see after watching up to that point. I read through the manga though and it's just as fun I think. Though now I'm stuck waiting for new chapters of it too.

Got around to watching the last episode. Do they explain why Nozaki is covered in bandages during the flashback? If it's not explained I'll just assume "swarm of cats."

Seeing Ken-san react to Nozaki's continuing desire to have some more action in his manga was great. Poor guy.

Reading the manga gives me the deepest sympathies to Ken-san. Dude has to worst luck. Especially when his annoying co-worker was also the annoying classmate he went to high school with and all of that stress makes him gain weight.

It's amazing how Nozaki can actually make the couple workable in his manga; the second to last page got me really badly... Nozaki and Seo work surprisingly well when they're together in scenes.

Man, now I want Chiyo to see (the real) Seo and Wakamatsu interact just for what her reaction would be. Also, remember: Seo is Seo.

Oh yeah, apparently the BDs come with some extra animated content covering part of chapter 45 (aka the beginning of the beach arc). I don't think anyone has subbed them though. Nondevor fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Some twitter dude has posted a series of "Nozaki and Chiyo 5-6 years later" strips that are pretty funny. Here's an album. Maybe there are translations floating around somewhere.

Just watched the entire series over the weekend, I really hope it gets a second season too but I guess I'll make do with the manga. Seo is amazing but I think Kashima was my favorite character.
