Plot

High school student Chiyo Sakura has a crush on schoolmate Umetarō Nozaki, but when she confesses her love to him, he mistakes her for a fan and gives her an autograph. When she says that she always wants to be with him, he invites her to his house and has her help on some drawings. Chiyo discovers that Nozaki is actually a renowned shōjo manga artist named Sakiko Yumeno. She then agrees to be his assistant in order to get closer to him. As they work on his manga Let's Fall in Love (恋しよっ Koi Shiyo, Let's Have a Romance),[4][5] they encounter other schoolmates who assist them or serve as inspirations for characters in the stories.

Despite making a romance-oriented manga, he has no personal experience in love (as such, his story ideas are often ridiculous and farfetched).[ch. 1,2] He appreciates Sakura's drawing ability but is oblivious to her feelings.[ch. 1] He lives on his own, having convinced his father that he can cover expenses with his manga royalties, and that he can cook for himself.[ch. 33] In middle school, he was captain of the school basketball team.[ch. 11] He is now in class 2-B.

For instance, the basketball team has her practice with them so they can learn how to deal with selfish and difficult players.[ep 2] Despite her rude and tomboyish demeanor, she has an angelic singing voice and is nicknamed "Glee Club's Lorelei" (声楽部のローレライ Seigakubu no Lorelai).[ch. 4] She enjoys pestering Wakamatsu, whom she calls "Waka".[ch. 23,34] Nozaki makes a male character based off her named Oze.

Due to her tendency to ditch, Kashima is often dragged by Hori to their club activities.[ch. 5] Later, it is revealed that she is tone deaf and had Yuzuki as her "coach".[ch. 25]

Voiced by: Yūki Ono[6] (Japanese); Adam Noble[10] (English)
President of the school drama club and Nozaki's assistant for background work, in exchange for Nozaki writing scenarios for him. Despite having incredible acting talent, he is conscious of his own short height and prefers to work on stage props instead of acting on stage. He reacts violently towards Kashima whenever she makes some inappropriate comments or disrupts the club.[ch. 6] But despite all of that, he still favors her and somewhat acts like a doting parent to her.

Due to stress caused by Seo's behavior at the club, he suffers from insomnia, however when he hears Lorelei singing, he immediately falls asleep, which makes him fall in love with her despite being unaware of who Lorelei actually is. He is in class 1-D.[ch. 11] Nozaki makes a female character based off him named Waka.

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake[12] (Japanese); Luis Galindo[10] (English)

Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano[4][13] (Japanese); Chris Patton[10] (English)

When Ken tells Nozaki that the heroine of the manga should express more feelings, Nozaki pretends to act like the heroine for the day by giving lunches to his friends and carting Kashima away from a mob of livid girls.

Reception

The manga's second volume reached number 18 on Oricon's weekly manga chart,[29] its third volume reached number 11,[30] and its fourth volume debuted at number 5 with 117,310 copies.[31] The fifth manga volume debuted at number 4, selling 185,392 copies.[32] The series placed at number 3 on a list of top 15 manga recommended by bookstores in 2013,[33] and ranked number 11 in the list of top 20 manga for female readers of the 2014 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook, which surveys manga industry professionals.[34] It was a nominee for the 8th Manga Taishō.[35]

The official fan book reached number 14, and the anthology book reached number 17 on Oricon's weekly best-sellers chart.[36]

Greg Smith of The Fandom Post found the anime adaptation to be a "both a celebration and a send-up of shoujo manga at the same time". He found it to have a natural flow and enjoyed the emotions and expressions presented by the characters.[37] He gave the series an A, noting it was one of the two consistently funny comedies of the season. He liked that "there was in general a lack of meanness or malice (except towards Maeno, which was quite well deserved)," and that it effectively showcased the absurdity of shojo tropes.[38] Andy Hanley of UK Anime Network gave the series 7 out of 10, highlighting its charming and lovable cast as well as the show’s visuals, although he would not call it a comedy classic.[39] Dee Hogan, in an article for The Mary Sue, found the show to be "simultaneously very funny and sneakily brilliant" and wrote about how the show "manages the rare feat of a triple-reversal, and all three deal with our understanding of gender roles in fiction."[40]

The reviewers at Anime News Network listed the anime as one of the best of the year for 2014.[41][42][43] with Amy McNulty [44] and Theron Martin naming it their top pick.[45] Kelly Quinn of Tor.com also listed it among her top 10 best shows of 2014.[46]
