2. Should Mikorin have a girlfriend?
        1. Being all alone is its own charm!
        2. He has Mayu! (for merch)
        3. Give the poor guy one.
        4. He has tanuki! (for merch)

3. Kind of late to ask, but what's your opinion on the time progression in the series?
        1. "It can be like Saza_-san where there can be infinite summers! Trips to the pool every year!"
        2. Either way doesn't matter to me.
        3. "Let actual time pass like it should. Nozaki should keep Hori's impending graduation in mind and find a new background assistant!"

4. If a special chapter were to be drawn of one of the main character's sibling(s), whose sibling?
        1. Chiyo's little brother!
        2. Hori's little brother. (He was planned to be a tall megane boy.)
        3. Kashima's little sister.
        4. Waka's big sister and little brother.

5. If there's a minor, as-yet-unnamed character you think deserves to have a name, who is it?
        *Fun fact: Tsubaki Izumi was shocked at who #2 was.

Roselia Scans Fundraiser and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Chapter 67!

Soooo we totally forgot that it's that time of year again, when Roselia Scans needs to pay for our webhosting (oops) so we've decided to do a little fundraiser ^^"

Roselia Scanlations will be releasing lots of your favorite manga over the next couple of days, and if you like what you see, please consider donating!

Your charity will help keep the forums and our high quality manga reader running for another year, and any extra money we have left over will be used to buy more high quality RAWs of your favorite series.  Last year, we were able to pay for our webhosting in full, thanks to the help of everyone's donations, so it would be wonderful if we could pull it off again this year! Every bit helps!

For now, here is chapter 67 of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, as promised. Stay tuned for more manga in the next couple of days~ :D

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Download Files

PSA: So it seems like a whole bunch of the chapters of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun have been removed from Mediafire due to copyright infringement? D:
I don't know which ones exactly, since there were so many, so if anyone can help us figure out, please let me know! Otherwise, the chapters are still available on our online reader, plus any other number of manga streaming sites!

In slightly related news, Izumi Tsubaki drew a color insert for Vol. 5, with the colored version of the Satan End from Secret Days♡ and silly dialogue from our male gamers.  zcatcracker translated it, so I'll just post it right here~

Change of Plans for Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Gap Chapters

It's been brought to my attention that Habanero Scans has been working on the gap chapters, so Roselia Scanlations has decided to drop our work on them.
In the case of chapters 42-52, the reason we'd continued working on them was because we'd were literally 100% ready to release 42-46 when fixitinposttat started working on them as well.
It'll be a little lonely seeing that hole in the middle of the list on the GSNK page, but since we're not yet done with the gap chapters and Habanero Scans has been doing a good job, we'll just leave them to it, unless there's a demand for us to work on it or something.
Thanks, everyone :)

About Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Releases....

Hi everyone, I have a question for you all regarding the release schedule for Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. Due to high demand, we started filling in the gap between the chapters Panda Scans scanlated and the point where we picked the series up. I'd intended not to release on any of the newer chapters until we filled that gap, but the truth is, we've been working on those chapters all the same. That said, I'd like to ask you all, would you rather we focus on completing all the missing chapters before we release new ones, or would you rather we release the new ones first? Please spread the word to any Nozaki fans you know as well!

Thanks so much for your input!

[UPDATED] COMING SOON: SECRET DAYS♡!!!

In case you all didn't know, Japan is rather fond of April Fool's Day, and the staff in charge of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun are no different! Thus, here is the official PV for the upcoming otome game that all the boys are raving about, Secret Days♡! The official site is gone now, but here is the PV for the game!

Creds to zcatcracker for all info in this post!

Human Tanuki!

Now, for translations: Under Character Introduction, they understand you. If you don't have your guy type right there, you've got no drive to fall in love. But never fear! Secret Days♡ features around the same number of living men in-game—that's right, 3.6 billion! The ones on-site are main characters.

 

The secret characters are Mikoshiba Kotomi and Umeno Sakitarou (basically Mikorin and Nozaki).

Here, Umeno is secretly an otome game developer. He might recruit you as his assistant, and perhaps the more you debug, the more intimate you become...♡

Shortly after release, the responses were so overwhelming that they crashed the servers! They managed to salvage a few, though!

N-saki: Basically identical comments from chapter 32, but apparently the Saotome character (the blonde tsundere) was the sakura fairy.

W-matsu: He can't even eat pickled plums after the experience.

H: "Like I thought, Kashima is more ikemen than these guys."

M-koshiba: Complained that the cast setup was too weak, how the difference between the facade vs. their true natures were basically weaksauce. Hard to sympathize with heroine because she was emotionally too flighty. And during Okada (the glasses character)'s date scene, he kept saying, "I'm nervous, this is the first time I called you to my house..." and that was SO annoying! "I went to your house 20 times! Keep track of your flags, damn it!"

Also, the Gangan Online website was entirely revamped into Gekkan Shoujo Romance:
http://www.ganganonline.com/romance/
It even has Maeno's blog:

And here are some posts from the mangaka Izumi Tsubaki's twitter...

Animate Shinjuku officially helped out, too:

BONUS: If you are a fan of Izumi-sensei's other series, Oresama Teacher, she made a fighting game for April Fool's Day as well:

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun gets an Anime!
