24mThis Love... Is Being Turned Into a Shojo MangaShe confessed her admiration to Umetaro Nozaki, stating she was a fan. He responded not with a rejection, but with a signed autograph. "I want to be with you always," she declared. Nozaki, in turn, invited her to his home and presented her with what he called "beta work." Hours later, the nature of the task became clear: she was inking panels for him. She realized then that Nozaki was a shojo manga artist whose work appeared in a magazine she had purchased.

24mMeet the New HeroineNozaki introduced Sakura to Mikoshiba, a popular and flirtatious young man. Soon, Sakura discovered that beneath his confident exterior lay a crippling shyness and a tendency to be mortified by his own words. He spent an afternoon at Nozaki’s, anticipating Sakura's request for assistance, yet too timid to initiate the conversation himself. Sakura learned that Mikoshiba specialized in crafting background details – flowers and flourishes that enhanced Nozaki’s artwork. She also discovered he serveJul 14, 20148.0Jul 14, 201424m8.003
24mViolence vs. the PrinceNozaki introduced his best friend, Yū Kashima, to Sakura and Nozaki. Known throughout the school as the "school prince," Yū was, in reality, a popular member of the acting club, though prone to moments of endearing cluelessness that often earned her scoldings – and occasional physical reprimands – from senior club member Masayuki Hori.
After assisting Hori with painting set designs, Sakura discovered a surprising connection: Hori was responsible for creating the backgrounds for Nozaki's mangJul 21, 20148.5Jul 21, 201424m8.504
24mThere Are Times When Men Must FightHe hesitated, the words catching in his throat. "Would it be possible… to stay? I need to ask you something about girls."
The question hung in the air, laced with a nervous energy he couldn't quite conceal. He’d envisioned a straightforward conversation, but now felt a surge of uncertainty.
Nozaki blinked, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "Girls, huh?"
What followed was not the discussion he had anticipated. Instead of a simple explanation, Nozaki led him into a world of pixelated rJul 28, 20148.5Jul 28, 201424m8.505
24mThe Man Who Envisions LoveNozaki’s editor, Ken Miyamae, was a fleeting presence, often appearing and departing with such haste that Sakura wondered if he disliked Nozaki. Yet, Ken’s praise for Nozaki stood in stark contrast to his past experiences with another editor, Maeno.
Later, while meeting Nozaki’s neighbor, Yukari Miyako – another manga artist at the same magazine – and then encountering Maeno himself, Sakura observed Nozaki's interactions with a new perspective. When Ken suggested the manga’s heroine lacked eAug 4, 20148.5Aug 4, 201424m8.506
24mI'll Cast a Spell on YouNozaki found himself face-to-face with Wakamatsu, a junior from their middle school basketball club. Wakamatsu confided in him, burdened by stress and sleepless nights caused by Seo's disruptive behavior. Yet, the mere sound of Lorelei’s singing would instantly lull him to sleep, leaving him refreshed. Inspired by Nozaki's shōjo manga, Wakamatsu attempted to address Seo, but his efforts were misinterpreted as friendly gestures. Soon after, Nozaki fell ill with a fever and sent out an urgent "SOSAug 11, 20148.5Aug 11, 201424m8.507
24mThe Manga Artist's Brain, Nozaki-kunHe agreed to accompany her on his day off, and Sakura couldn't help but perceive it as something more intimate. However, Nozaki had other plans, eager to glean inspiration for his manga. They spent the afternoon at the mall, where they spotted Mikoshiba browsing in a doll store. Later, Mikoshiba surprised them both by offering to model for the art club.Aug 18, 20148.0Aug 18, 201424m8.008
24mThe Prince (Girl) of the School's ProblemsHori found himself increasingly exasperated by Hori’s antics, yet bewildered when he discovered Hori and the others engrossed in Yumeno’s shojo manga, treating it with surprising seriousness. He challenged Nozaki to create some backgrounds, but Nozaki’s insistence on artificial perspective – resorting to placing boxes beneath his characters – proved infuriating. Assuming a hidden desire for regal attire, Kashima replaced Hori's clothes with something decidedly more feminine. And when Hori collapAug 25, 20148.0Aug 25, 201424m8.009
24mDo You Have Enough Excitement?A downpour caught Chiyo and Nozaki unprepared. As rain began to fall, Nozaki seized the moment, envisioning a romantic scene for his manga centered on sharing an umbrella. Seo, ever generous, offered them hers.

24mWhat's Strengthened Is Our Bond and Our Reins.To orchestrate a meeting between Wakamatsu and Seo, Nozaki subtly steered the conversation toward a movie date.

However, when Mikoshiba offered his services, Hori was struck by a striking resemblance to Mamiko.Sep 8, 20148.0Sep 8, 201424m8.011
24mRice and SaltA playful dynamic unfolded as Nozaki sought to inject surprise into his manga narrative, employing various tactics to elicit reactions from Sakura. Meanwhile, an unexpected downpour led Mikoshiba, Hori, and Wakamatsu to seek refuge in Nozaki's apartment, resulting in a shared overnight stay. With the opportunity for observation, Nozaki began to subtly incorporate his companions into the next installment of his work, using them as inspiration for new developments within the story.Sep 15, 20148.0Sep 15, 201424m8.012
24mIf This Feeling Isn't Love, Then There Is No Love in the WorldA persistent thought lingered in Chiyo's mind: the Valentine's chocolates she hadn't yet given Nozaki. She found herself seeking ways to deepen their connection, a subtle push towards a more intimate understanding. As the summer unfolded, they and their friends gathered at a festival, the vibrant atmosphere stirring memories. Chiyo was unexpectedly transported back to the very moment she and Nozaki first encountered each other.Sep 22, 20148.5Sep 22, 201424m8.5
