The Alternative Slice of Life
What Is Null Meta?
Null Meta is a 4-panel manga written by Kokamumo and serialized in Manga Time Kirara MAX since March of 2020. Null Meta features wacky, off-beat comedy that utilizes its casts strong personalities. This creates bizarrely realistic interactions reminiscent of a late night with friends. The designs are simple, but each character has clear charm points and an individual style. Null Meta is really funny and really cute it tells cute and funny stories but it can still warm your heart like in chapter 41 when gome-san confronts shiyuki about acting distant null meta is really cute and funny and sweet and moe and i love moe and i love null meta!!!!!!
Null Meta's extended cast
Outside of the main cast, Null Meta features many side characters. The side characters all feel like proper members of the world, with their own lives and personalities. The most notable side character is Gome-san, a small girl with cheerful facade. Gome is friends from middle school with the Souen faction, and online friends with Shiyuki. Despite her demure appearence Gome-san has a sharp tongue and a cynical personality.

Null Meta Anime?
Despite being serialized to great success for over 5 years, Null Meta has not had an anime announced. However, Null Meta remains highly popular and has a consistent record of beating competing manga in sales. While it becomes less and less likely for Null Meta to recieve an adaptation as time goes on, I believe Null Meta still has a fighting chance!
