I think it's because all the characters have their own distinctive believable core. Then on top of that, they're all completely nuts. Everyone has depth and everyone gets to be hilarious in their own ways.

When I reread the manga, I noticed that the shoujo romance stuff has far more of a presence than I thought it did the first time through. I think it's easy to be laughing too hard to notice.

Also, this week, the Chiyo scene between the ending song and next week's preview was super adorable. Looks like they're definitely doing the festival and the flashback to when they first met for the finale. Makes sense.

Poor Chiyo-chan. I was really rooting for her at the end.

I was kind of dumbfounded when she said their relationship hasn't progressed at all, though. At the start of the series, she was just this borderline stalker person he didn't know existed. Now they're quite close friends. He's willing to eat off the floor for you Chiyo! Appreciate how far you've come.

Those were pretty good. Thank you for the link. It makes me feel bad for Sakura all over again to consider how I could really see that happening to those two.

I love that she has to jump. I like that the manga doesn't gloss over the character's crazy height difference. It's endlessly amusing to me.

That's a good catch.

Also, even Sakura's cellphone has ribbons.

She considers just putting it in the freezer, but that's not good because she wouldn't be able to see it all the time.

I thought Seobro was Sakura's brother, but I guess other families have people cursed to fall for clueless mangaka.

Maeno's ability to be the worst is breathtaking.

Yep. Clearly Seo-bro was named in honor of commercialism's conquest of the red house of communism.

At its heart, this manga is about people too dumb to realize they've found great romantic relationships.

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.

Just checking, but Chiyo's the one who does the beta for Nozaki's manga, right?

Yup.

The expectations for manga are really low. Think about how bad Bleach and Naruto got for years at the end. They were still in the top 5 highest quality titles in a magazine that has, what, 15 plus series?

This missordering of the cookies at the end killed me.

And Nozaki is always so concerned about Chiyo. It's love.

Nozaki knows and thinks they’re already dating.

There is a fan comic set several years in the future that takes this interpretation and starts with Nozaki proposing. It's so good. Only one who doesn't realize they're in a serious relationship is Chiyo.

You know it's a good chapter when you alternate between being horrified and laughing your rear end off.

This is a good description for this manga.

It's been nice seeing more concrete signs of Nozaki's feelings.
