The world of shojo anime and manga has always adored its staple clichés. It's rare to come across a shojo series that doesn't indulge in melodramatic love triangles, miscommunication drama, or "opposites attract" plots. The overabundance of tropes in the genre is a perfect ground for satire and deconstruction, and that's exactly the niche Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun takes up in the shojo landscape. Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is a cult-classic shojo parody about cheerful high school sweetheart Chiyo Sakura's attempts to make her dense love interest, Umetarou Nozaki, acknowledge her feelings.
