Plot Summary: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu centers around Yūto Ayase and Haruka Nogizaka. Yūto is seemingly ordinary, but Haruka is attractive, intelligent, and rich, which prompts other students to idolize her and even give her French nicknames like “Nuit toile” (The Silver Star of the Night) and “Lumire du Clavier” (The Shining Princess on the Piano). One day, Yūto wanders into the school library in order to return a book and accidentally stumbles upon Haruka’s deepest, darkest secret: she is a diehard fan of anime and manga, in other words, a regular otaku. Promising Haruka to keep this a secret, Yūto becomes her advisor and confidente of some sort and hangs out with her more, though earning some viciously envious glares from his fellow schoolmates.

Looks pretty good. The girl looks absolutely kawaii. That and the design kinda reminds me of Futakoi Alternative. But the description for it is juz something that makes me quite eager about it! A Bishōjo who is an OTAKU!
yeah, these kinda shows would usually draw references from popular series or such. And since she’s an otaku, there will almost be a 99% chance that there will be some kinda cosplay episode involved.
problem with that is they often tend to lose their charm after the show aired…
Lucky star for example won’t be half as funny in a few years as it was when it aired
Hmmm Lucky Star was heavy on the comedy and parodies department though. This series might take a different direction and juz go more on the romance side. The parodies and comedy would probably be a quirk thrown in to help complicate things a little.
okie tried it out. The subs are not exactly up to standard. In fact there are certain parts where they dont exactly show up also. So hopefully there will be other groups picking this up. (Though there was a post saying that this was not the official sub release or wadsoeva by the group. Don’t exactly know wad they mean anyway with that line…)
As for the show… Haruka is juz super moeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-kawaii!!!
for me it didn’t show up for only one part, but it did show up just kinda late and for like 3/4 of a second, so you just have to pause it to read it ^^* but zomgnowaiftw haruhi ending?!
okie~ apparently the above linky i posted is not the final release by the group. Seems that it was juz an early version that was thrown out to juz give a heads up as to wad it would be like. So there should be a better version from the group coming soon.
The first episode was pretty good. Her expressions are adorable....its just that it would take me some time to get used to her voice. 
thats probably the issue with Mamiko Noto i guess. I’ve read about comments from other forums bout how some people actually don’t really think she is suited for the role cuz of her voice is pretty much one tracked. There is not much variety with it. But i don’t really have an issue with it for this series, and some parts she did make Haruka extremely adorable.
