# Where to Watch Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun **Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun builds its comedy around a wonderfully awkward mismatch: a girl understands romance firsthand, while her crush writes it professionally and misses every signal she sends. Netflix, Hulu, and Hoopla carry the complete TV series, while HIDIVE has removed it from its catalog. Hoopla is the most useful first stop for anyone whose public library participates. Released in 2014, this finished Doga Kobo adaptation has 12 episodes at 23 minutes each, making it easy to sample without a long commitment. The humor comes from confessions going astray, manga work reshaping ordinary school encounters, and romantic expectations being applied in exactly the wrong way. Despite all the misreading, the affection never feels disposable. Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is a particularly good fit for viewers who want a warm school comedy that pokes fun at romance manga while still caring about the feelings behind its jokes.** ## Where to Watch - [Hoopla](https://www.hoopladigital.com/television/monthly-girls-nozaki-kun-season-1-yuichi-nakamura/16309472) - [Hulu](http://www.hulu.com/monthly-girls-nozakikun) - [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80081848) Check Netflix, Hulu, or Hoopla for the complete series. Hoopla access requires a card from a participating public library, and HIDIVE no longer carries Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. ## Synopsis A schoolgirl finally tells a classmate how she feels, only for him to interpret her confession as admiration from a fan. The misunderstanding leads her into his unexpected private life: he creates romance manga and soon puts her to work as an assistant. Being invited into his creative routine should bring her closer to him, but his eye for fictional love does little to help him recognize the real version beside him. School friendships and everyday encounters keep feeding fresh material into their odd partnership. Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun turns that setup into character comedy with a steady thread of sincere, mostly one-sided affection, all without leaning on heavy drama. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** TV - **Episodes:** 12 - **Premiered:** 2014 - **Studio:** Doga Kobo - **Score:** 7.7 ## Watch Order Start Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun with episode 1, then follow the TV episodes in their numbered order through episode 12.
