<\/a>this girl should be the main character<\/p><\/div>\n
I have to commend Nozaki-kun<\/i> for sticking with the shoujo manga parody theme. I expected Mikoshiba and Seo to be introduced as main characters, and then the show would lapse into some sort of horrific shoujo parody slice of life thing – think\u00a0Lucky Star<\/em> with periodic forced shoujo gags. But\u00a0instead, these characters were compared to the characters within Nozaki’s manga, bringing it all back to a commentary\/joke about shoujo manga. This makes it easy to introduce new characters with all sorts of traits without deviating from parodying shoujo manga. Impressive!<\/p>\nHowever, this doesn’t make it interesting enough. While\u00a0Nozaki-kun<\/em> doesn’t seem to be turning into my worst nightmare, it still suffers from bad jokes. Specifically: Why does Mikoshiba go all embarrassed when he says something playboy-like?<\/strong> This kind of character trait might get a kick out of female viewers and endear them towards Mikoshiba, but for a male audience\u00a0<\/i>and for me in particular, it doesn’t click. It’s not funny. It’s not even interesting to me. It seems like the author can’t decide how much shoujo to put in this parody, but this is enough for me to drop the show.<\/p>\nP.S.: This all follows somewhat from my previous post, where I argued that\u00a0Nozaki-kun<\/em> shouldn’t and won’t incorporate actual shoujo elements, simply because it’s directed towards guys. Maybe I was wrong. oops<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"New post.
