His blog is more popular than any of the series he's currently (mis)handling.

Like you see in the comic, his incompetence forces his underlings to manage themselves, and he's great at taking credit. He's... not that unrealistic of a character, sadly.

I'm pretty sure that's why everyone really hates him. Anyone with a job probably knows someone like that.

I wouldn't hate Maeno so much if he got some sort of comeuppance or wasn't such an oblivious poo poo to everyone around him. I like Ken, but I loving hate Ken chapters cause they generally bring in Maeno, the only character who is not in the running for Best Character.

Maeno is also really good at casual social interaction. If your relationship with him is really shallow, you think he's a great, fun guy. Given this is Japan, drinking is an extremely important part of work life. I bet he's the life of work drinking parties and his boss's boss loves him.

God I hate Maeno.

Cool high schooler Ken looked pretty cool in that brief chapter where you learn Ken only turns non-bishie when Maeno is around

I want a chapter where for some reason Ken spends a day at Nozaki's school. Have him visit for a relative's parent-teacher conference or something.

Nah, Ken meets Mikoshiba without Nozaki and realizes the inspiration for Mamiko

It's okay, even if she was the world's greatest speaker, the impenetrable vault that is Nozaki-kun would still not let anything through.

All rolled together, they come close to an average episode's length. I think it's less that they're OVA's and more like Bonuses for the DVD/BD releases.

They're like 5-minute extras on each disc release. It covers the Drama club's summer camp, and is amazing but more like a single episode than 6 OVAs.

I died laughing at "tanuki"

Also, at what point did Miyako realize that Sakura likes Nozaki? I don't remember this.

Pretty much everyone who's seen Sakura and Nozaki in the same room basically knows she has a crush on him.

I like that with each passing chapter there's been more little hints that maybe?? Nozaki kinda has feelings for her too? Like trusting that she came up with good story suggestions (unlike everyone else) and how the height difference thing stuck with him in the end :3:
