Recommendation: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (anime)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is translated as "Monthly Girls' Nozaki kun" and is an anime available on Crunchyroll (a streaming service for Asian content), based on a Manga. It is a charming show that my daughter pointed out to me. Shoujo manga is a type aimed at teenage girls. The show is entertaining because it hits at three levels: it has standard shoujo tropes; it lovingly parodies standard shoujo tropes; it gives a behind the scenes glimpse into the manga business. The title character is a high school boy that writes shoujo manga commercially, though few of his classmates realize it. The main female character is Chiyo, who has a crush on the clueless Nozaki and ends up being part of a team that produces the manga.
