History Trivia / MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun

* TheWikiRule: Has a [[http://gekkan-shoujo-nozakikun.wikia.com/wiki/Gekkan_Shoujo_Nozaki-kun_Wiki Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Wiki]].

*** According to Volume 0, while Seo is (from what little we see of her) completely unchanged from her final draft, Tsubaki's comments admit that Kashima's "base changed a lot". The one page we see of her shows her aggressively flirting with Miyoshi rather than any girl, and she's the one who [[BelligerentSexualTension regularly gets mad at]] her eventual partner (who is unnamed and [[TheFaceless un-faced]] in the short sample we're given).

* AllStarCast: The main cast of the show contains the voices of Creator/YuuichiNakamura, Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto, Creator/YukiOno, Creator/MiyukiSawashiro, Creator/RyoheiKimura and Creator/MaiNakahara (Who is also PlayingAgainstType here). The supporting cast contains Creator/MamoruMiyano, Creator/DaisukeOno, Creator/AyakoKawasumi and Creator/KentaMiyake.

* NamesTheSame: Yuu Kashima (鹿島遊, female) shares the same name as Yuu Kashima (加島優, male) from the BoysLove series ''Yarichin☆Bitch-bu'', albeit using different kanji characters.

** Kashima's Japanese and English voice actors. Creator/MaiNakahara usually voices very feminine and often soft-spoken characters, while Creator/MonicaRial is usually cast as the noisy, fun young girl type. Kashima is instead a princely {{Bifauxnen}}.

*** One alternate pathway for chapter 45 still revolves around Wakamatsu's misunderstanding over Kashima's gender and thinking that she's Seo's boyfriend, but it goes unresolved. He asks Seo about Kashima himself, except Seo's answer only worsens [[DomesticAbuser his assumptions]]. He then confronts Kashima about making "Senpai" sad... but she thinks he's referring to Hori instead, which culminates in [[ItMakesSenseInContext inadvertently giving Hori the impression that unless he plays the part of princess she'll quit the drama club.]] [[http://okamitempest.tumblr.com/post/100512902721/afterward-of-gekkan-shoujo-nozaki-kun-chapter-45s Tsubaki stated]] this was shot down as too many misunderstandings would confuse Tsubaki herself, and Wakamatsu becoming too concerned over Seo's "boyfriend" along with Hori getting too caught up in considering playing the princess role for Kashima's sake would be too troublesome.
*** The other alternate pathway for chapter 45 also plays with Wakamatsu's (again unresolved) misunderstanding over Kashima as he and Hori spot her with Seo at a cafe. Wakamatsu, who previously told Hori about the 'handsome guy who might be Seo's boyfriend', points Kashima out to Hori as the guy he was talking about, but upon recognizing her Hori just bursts into laughter without explaining why to Wakamatsu, leaving a confused Wakamatsu thinking that since Hori got so lively about the subject, that [[MistakenForGay he must really like handsome guys]]. Meanwhile, Kashima gets a misunderstanding of her own when she's shocked to see a [[WhenSheSmiles laughing Hori]] with Wakamatsu. The end result is her and Wakamatsu fighting (via Seo) over "Senpai" (Hori/Seo), thus evolving the situation further into a complicated [[LoveDodecahedron love rectangle]] between Wakamatsu, Seo, Kashima, and Hori - which was exactly the reason for putting this plot in the rejection pile.

** Tsubaki stated Mayu was at first intended to be a girl.
** The fanbook reveals that Nozaki's ''sister'' (a character who's only made an appearance in an extra chapter in the main series) was supposed to be the main character. Nozaki was just supposed to be the mangaka older brother that appears every once in a while and Seo and Kashima were supposed to be Yumeko (the sister's placeholder name, which was eventually used as the basis for Nozaki's pen name)'s friends. Nozaki just gradually took over the manga and Tsubaki didn't want to introduce a new character randomly so the poor sister is [[DemotedToExtra stuck in the background]]. Basically, Nozaki stole his sister's ''main character role, name, friends, and her entire existence''. Things didn't turn out all that bad for her, however -- Yumeko managed to get a spotlight chapter in December 2015, although she was isolated from most of the cast to compensate, and Volume 0 (extra material that came with Volume 13 in August 2021) focuses on her as a high school student.
*** Volume 0 also features a sub-example in Kashima: While Seo is (from what little we see of her) completely unchanged from her final draft, Tsubaki's comments admit that Kashima's "base changed a lot". The one page we see of her shows her aggressively flirting with Miyoshi rather than any girl, and she's the one who [[BelligerentSexualTension regularly gets mad at]] her eventual partner (who is unnamed and [[TheFaceless un-faced]] in the short sample we're given).

*** One scrapped chapter has Sakura secretly trying to sleep over at Nozaki's after their work session, except she finds out too late Hori is ''also'' sleeping over. [[SarcasmMode The night is romantic as Sakura wants it to be,]] and she's eventually sent home. Reasons for scrapping included subsequent awkwardness between Sakura and Kashima (who [[NotWhatItLooksLike catches Hori returning Sakura's ribbons saying "you forgot this last night"]] and starts to feel pangs of jealousy that she [[ObliviousToLove doesn't understand]]) and [[OutOfCharacter Sakura being unusually bold in her attempt to sleep over at Nozaki's]].

* InternationalCoproduction: Averted in in the Latin American Spanish dub: Unlike previous Creator/SentaiFilmworks' Spanish dubs, who were done between Argentinian and Chilean voice actors, this one was done entirely in Argentina.

* QuoteSource: Kashima flirtatiously nicknaming her admirer "my princess" provides the page quote for AffectionateNickname.

* FanNickname:
** "Ribbons" for Sakura. Later becomes an InSeriesNickname, courtesy of Miyako's classmate.
** "BEST GIRL/HEROINE" for Mikoshiba.
** The art club member who makes Mikoshiba pose like a despairing boyfriend who just got dumped for infidelity (See second example of BreadEggsMilkSquick in the work page) is referred to as [[{{Netorare}} NTR]]-chan.

* QuoteSource:
** AffectionateNickname

** History repeated itself almost exactly for Creator/JulietSimmons. She had done some bit parts previously with the odd supporting role, but Sakura was her first gig as a heroine. Her casting announcement was met with confusion as to who this Juliet person was, until fans recognized her voice, proclaiming many to go, "Wait, Music/JubyPhonic does voice acting?"

* ActorAllusion: The sailor suit Nozaki tries to get Sakura to try on looks a lot like the summer uniforms his classmates [[VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}} in another franchise]] wear.

* DarkhorseCasting: In contrast with the aforementioned AllStarCast of nearly every single other character, [[Creator/AriOzawa Ari Ozawa's]] casting as Sakura was her first notable role, as she was a relative newcomer at the time. This ended up being her StarMakingRole.
* DevelopmentGag: In September 2014, Tsubaki admitted Mayu was at first intended to be a girl, and that a female Mayu would have been paired with Mikoshiba. Chapter 59 revolves around Mikoshiba and Mayu texting one another, each mistakenly believing that the other is a cute girl.

* ActorAllusion: The sailor suit Nozaki tries to get Chiyo to try on looks a lot like the summer uniforms his classmates [[VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}} in another franchise]] wear.

* DarkhorseCasting: In contrast with the aforementioned AllStarCast of nearly every single other character, [[Creator/AriOzawa Ari Ozawa's]] casting as Chiyo was her first notable role, as she was a relative newcomer at the time. This ended up being her StarMakingRole.

** "Ribbons" for Chiyo. Later becomes an InSeriesNickname, courtesy of Miyako's classmate Haru.

* NamesTheSame: There's another [[Manga/MuhyoAndRoji Sakura Chiyo]].

* SheAlsoDid: Chiyo's English voice actress, Creator/JulietSimmons, is better known by her internet handle Music/JubyPhonic, well known Music/{{Vocaloid}} utaite.

** The fanbook reveals that Nozaki's ''sister'' (an unnamed, barely appearing background character) was supposed to be the main character. Nozaki was just supposed to be the mangaka older brother that appears every once in a while and Seo and Kashima were supposed to be Yumeko (the sister's placeholder name, which was eventually used as the basis for Nozaki's pen name)'s friends.

** "Ribbons" for Chiyo.
*** This is also an InSeriesNickname example, as one of Miyako's classmates calls Chiyo this when spying on Miyako and Nozaki's "date", which Sakura "interrupts".
