Out of curiosity, does anyone else think that they could have... idk maybe thought of a new title? When I was checking my site for anime streaming I saw this title and I immediately busted out laughing when I saw that it had nothing to do with well.. a mangirl! Hehe I guess my mind is just being immature right now :P but I can't help it lol anyone else have any thoughts on this?

P.S other then that, anyone like this anime so far? I haven't watched it yet since I'm busy but would ya'll suggest watching it?

The title was pretty misleading, assuming it's read "Man-Girl". Anyways, just watch it if you want, it's only 3 minutes long per episode.

the 1st thing I thought of about the title (without knowing this series existed) is actually girls drawing manga. Mangirl(mangaru) does sound like Manga :)

Well in Japanese まん doesn't mean man, as in male, and is used as a short hand for manga so it was misleading probably only to westerners lol. But yes, I was misled too.

3 minutes per episode? Alrighty doesn't sound like it'll be a big deal and haha what a relief that I'm not the only one that mistook the title; thanks for the explanations as well everybody

That's the problem. It's マンガガール (Manga ga-ru) in Japanese and has two "ga". Mangirl is shorter and easier to read for Japanese.

Daily Lives of High School Boys (Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou) also mislead me because of the recent attention of "boys love" material.


Dainshi Koukousei no Nichijou is not that misleading. At least I didn't think that of BL.

I thought this was about traps and was about to make a post about it, but it looks like somebody beat me to it 5 years ago.
