The “Monthly Girls'” in the title refers to shoujo manga, which is published monthly, lol;; To search for merch and stuff, also try the Japanese title, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun~

This show is SOOOO FUNNY, omg. And the cast of characters is wild! One by one, you will be introduced to the colorful classmates that have influenced Nozaki as he writes shoujo manga in secret. The heroine of the story is the only sane person here, for real.

We’ve just entered Autumn, although at the time that I am writing this, it is still HOT enough to be Summer!! oAo

This selection of new arrivals from Candy Rain is almost perfect for this time!  They are light and flowy as usual, but with cozy, knit sweater details!

–

Candy Rain – Off-shoulder Long-Sleeve Sweatshirt

The long, loose sleeves on this cozy, embroidered top
actually have a layer of chiffon over them, with dainty little details!

–

Candy Rain – Fray Spaghetti Strap Dress

Okay, maybe this one isn’t warm enough for the weather as it gets cooler,
but it was in the new arrivals and I really wanted to share it!
It’s such a perfectly sweet pink color,
and the playful overall look is in right now!

–

Candy Rain – Bow Mock Two-piece Long-Sleeve Top

Look at this super smart-looking top!
I love the mini tie.
This brings a school uniform to mind!

–

Candy Rain – Plaid Pleated Mini Skirt

The super smart skirt that matches the blouse!
I would feel like I have to be studying and reading
the whole time I wore this.

–

Candy Rain – Mesh Panel Spaghetti Strap Knit Dress

Look at the pretty pink sweater part of this dress!
This is exactly what I’m talking about when I speak of
a fusion of Autumn elements with Candy Rain’s usual pretty,
princessy fashion~

(Tbh I am not a fan of the localized title for this show – I think “Cleanliness Boy! Aoyama-kun” is way better! The Japanese title, for those searching for it, is “Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun”~)

This is a comedic sports anime about a mysophobic character, and the incredibly weird characters all around him. Although it’s mostly jokey, I do appreciate that they spend some conversation in the first episode to make it clear that his fixation is a highly inhibiting disability, and how difficult it is that he has to work around it!

Though there is some cool soccer action in this series, there are all kinds of other hijinks going on, and sometimes it seems that Aoyama-kun isn’t even the central character, only showing up and doing something amazing when it’s important, lol!

Also enjoy the super retro thowback-style credits sequence LOL.

Do you remember being little and having a bamillion choices of fruit snacks and stuff, and you HAD to get them in your favorite cartoon character shapes??  That’s what these Pokemon snacks and things remind me of, lol!

These have the added bonus of being imported Japanese food, so you KNOW that they are packaged cutely and are a fun novelty to eat!

–

FURUTA POKEMON Jelly

These are convenient for putting in a bento-style lunch –
they are individually-packaged little servings of jelly,
for spreading on sandwiches or anything else appropriate in your lunch.
There is a different cute Pokemon on each one!

SANYO Sapporo No.1 Pokemon Noodles Seafood Flavor

Instant!!  Noodles!!  Y’all!!
This cup of instant noodles has little Pikachu faces in it,
along with Chimchar in the sample photo (I don’t know
if there are different Pokemon you can get, though)~
It looks SO TASTY!  Oh man, I’m craving noodles now…

MARUMIYA Pokemon Rice Sprinkles Minipack 

You know, I’m not totally sure what these are, but maybe you guys can tell me?
There are a WHOLE BUNCH of individually-packaged servings of “rice sprinkles”
that you get here, decorated sort of like Pokemon cards.
I don’t know if it is flavoring for your rice?  But it seems to be another convenient,
single-serving thing to put in your bento. :3

–

Pokemon Get Chocolate Maker Tsukuru Oyatsu DIY Chocolate Kit

This is a whole kit for making your own milk + white chocolate Pokeballs,
with Pikachu (and Rowlet!) inside!
I think this is probably the coolest thing in this roundup –
DIY sweets things are just totally my weekness!

This show… is so… GOOOOOOOD!!!! I really think there was no predicting just how emotional and investing this was going to turn out to be.

Figure skating is a beautiful sport to observe (I did ballet as a kid and love seeing ballet show up in this anime, too!), and there is a diverse cast in this show that we get to see performing a variety of routines!! And the friendships and blossoming love between the characters are so, so precious~

Good, GOOD stuff all around! Hope you enjoy it! nn
