Nozaki himself admitted that he hasn’t experienced his first love yet - and he doesn’t show any desire to have one, either. Chiyo tries to initiate various romantic activities with Nozaki, but he quickly turns each and every one of them into an undeniably unromantic manga-making opportunity.
Chiyo confesses to him, Nozaki thinks she’s a fan of his work and gives her an autograph.
That’s right, Nozaki-kun knows all the romantic tropes - and yet he doesn’t recognise them when they’re literally happening to himself. Well, that might be a little more difficult - just ask Chiyo Sakura! If you want real-life romance with him, though. You want fluffy storylines about teenage romance and heart-throbbing feels? This guy can whip you up a masterpiece in no time. Umetarou Nozaki is a seventeen-year-old high school boy, who also just happens to write shoujo manga.
