Beth's Reviews > Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Vol. 14

Sometimes I literally can't understand individual lines in this manga, and it's hard to tell if the translation's off or whether the author's humor is missing me. Despite these occasional mismatches, I chuckled quite a few times while reading this volume, especially as it becomes more and more evident that Nozaki, as a mangaka, could be described as a hack. His manga stories are inspired by his real life surroundings to an embarrassing extent, and he draws his background characters literally identically until given some guidance from Mikoshiba. In the meantime, Hori and Kashima's relationship maybe doesn't progress all that much, but they do come just a tiny smidgen closer to understanding each other thanks to a play script written by Nozaki.
