14 Volumes (Complete)





It's cute and simple I won't say it's crap because of it's any other shoujo story line. The art is really nice and you have an easy going plot to read. I really enjoyed it, I espically like Yuushin & Kou-chan.
This series is for YOUNG GIRLS (early middle school ect..) so to be honest most of us reading and rating this series are probably older that the intended demographic. (WHICH IS WHY TO SOME IT MIGHT SEEM DISAPPOINTING!)But it is not at all its a rather pleasant & cute read (IT'S NOT LOLICON BTW !) the story & flow so far is rather good and the art is improving as the story also goes on. though some of it is cliche but it's shojo lol. btw i had my friends younger sister read this (she's 12) she rated it a 9/10 and I (22yrs) thinking what would I have really rated it if i was in the age bracket of 12-16 would have given it a 6 1/2 so I went with a 7/10!
also Though the female lead can be a bit shy & crybaby I like how she's working on improving herself to be better on being more outgoing and not running away from her problems every time.
The protagonist (Hiyori) is so shy and emotionally-weak that it just becomes incredible annoying to read. She literally cannot do anything without the help of others and cries at every chance she gets (probably every chapter she is crying). There really isn't any character growth in her throughout the series. Typically, other protagonists like her learn to become stronger but this girl stays the way she is until the very end. It's honestly frustrating to see a character as weak as Hiyori is.
If you're looking for something cute and amusing, and not very deep, then this might be right up your alley.
In terms of its genre and target demographic, it's quite fair to say this is one is on the better half side of things. It isn't bad, and is very spot-on in its light-hearted humour.
I suppose it all boils down to personal expectation of what you expected to read when the plot basically involves what it says on the tin.
On the comments about the height difference being absurd, it's part of the point of the story? Not necessarily as a point of struggle, but more as a something used for fluff and humour.
If you're thinking about the contortion involved for the couple in this series to have a realistic kiss or whatever eye roll, then, really, I'd love to see the oppai girls, so very much common shounen, have actual back pains once and a while, not to mention the pain of having DD-cups, that they should already struggle to hold up, getting squished when they try to kiss their significant other. Talk about contortion pains.
Also, and I'm saying this as a girl (whose reading selection is widely varied and not restricted to shoujo, which very much includes all kinds of porn), is it weird that I started reading this mostly to amuse myself in reading something that very much looked like Non-H loli? Ok, I'll admit, it's pretty weird.
No, she's not a prepubescent girl, and, Yes, there's such a thing called Size-Difference Kink. Albeit, it's used here in a non-H way.
I found it cute and something enjoyable to read when one is in the mood for fluff. It doesn't have a lot of surprises, and, yes, it's typical shoujo, but at least it doesn't have random rage-inducing tropes just to keep things exciting/angsty.
Give it a shot, it just might surprise you. Or you'll hate it enough to come back here and give it a 1, a common reaction to typical shoujo. Heh.
The manga is just some cliche school life romance manga. The main girl is just a frustrating, shy, no confident cry baby. Overall, this story is expected.
However, I don't know why I still find it captivating. Probably it's because this manga has it's own uniqueness, with the characters having a height difference of 50cm. And, maybe it's because there isn't too much of a dramatic scene that makes me want to stop reading. Though the female lead is some typical crybaby, but I don't find her weak. Though she is not strong either, somehow, it just seems to me that she will try to work things through.
She may not be the ideal female lead and the guy might not be the ideal male lead. But maybe that's why it's still capturing my attention. After all, no one is perfect.
This is a pretty typical shojo. Shy unpopular girl meets friendly popular guy and you can pretty much guess how it all goes from there. I enjoyed this manga for what it is at the beginning. The female MC is cute (albeit a bit annoying for how much she cries) and has a good heart. The side characters are interesting and made me want to learn more about them.
Towards the end of the series however, it seemed like the author was struggling to find ways to keep it interesting. But rather than ending the story, more elements were pulled in from out of nowhere to add drama seemingly just for the sake of drama (i.e. the appearance of Akiho). I felt that the pacing was off with this series, especially with the romance. I didn't really believe when
Yuushin asked Hiyori to go out with him. You could tell that, up to this point, he had some kind of soft spot for her, but I never got real "romantic vibes" from him. It became more apparent as the series went on, but I found the romance from Yuushin's end to be rather flat.
This manga is enjoyable for the most part and I do appreciate that, despite the large amount of cliched plot lines, most of them are resolved quickly and without unnecessary drama. Unfortunately, it's just not a memorable series.If you're looking to pass the time with a lighthearted story, then I'd say give it a go, but otherwise I'd probably pass on this.
Good enough to pass time I suppose. As many earlier posters have said, it sticks to the standard cliches - Valentine's day drama, pretty childhood friend rival, guy rival causing jealousy etc. Not exactly bad, just boring. I got tired of the protagonist - aside from her timidness and insecurity about her height, she ends up being the typical 'kind girl' and has very little going for her otherwise. Main guy is the usual 'refreshing' lead, nothing new. The side characters were somewhat entertaining.
Huge Height Difference and these are the sort of things that actually annoy me when i don't find the Couples Compatible but Hiyokoi surprisingly did the reverse for me
Characters are really good, even the side characters are investing enough for me to NOT have any particular character that i dislike (another Rare for me)
Story is Cliched alright, but this Social outcast Couple thingy makes it an Interesting ride all along...you get this amusing feeling of how people around them react and how they respond to certain situation albeit Awkward ones
The Female lead starts out weak like most Shoujo leads but along the way she starts to accept the new things around her and gradually find Confidence for her lack of height
overall recommended....very cute manga albeit in a weird way
Only two chapters out so it's a bit early to make a definite judgement, but I'll update my comment as the story unfold.
So far the art is great, The girl is very cute, and the manga is very pleasant to look at.
The story is a bit cliché at places, but it's not enough to prevent us from enjoying the manga.
I'll recommand to any one that wants a very cute, pleasant to read shoujo. It's something you can read and enjoy at anytime, even (or specially) between two more complicated, heart shredding shoujo.
Hiyori seriously gets annoying after a while. All she does is cry and people jump to the rescue. She's super dense and oblivious and insecure and she never really gets stronger. Okay, she gets a little less wimpy, but that only reaches the point of where she'll stand up after crying...but only with cheering from her friends. Yuushin is pretty shallow as the male lead. He's the typical nice guy, but he's nice to the point of...not being very memorable.
Pretty much all the side characters felt like they have more emotional depth than the main couple.
