Lois Bujold's Reviews > Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Vol. 1

I read the first two volumes from my library. Clean art style -- the eponymous hero is a high school lad who draws (professional) girl's manga, hijinks ensue. Nozaki looks very much like Domeki from xxxHolic, and is amusingly focused on his work, to the frustration of the girl who fancies him.

Interesting format -- each entry or unit of the story is a single page divided into four rectangles placed vertically, read from top to bottom, like a Japanese version of a four-panel daily comic read left to right. So the sense of story arc takes a while to build.

I believe there is an anime, which I may try to hunt up.
