Hiyokoi (review by nekochan)

Japaneseひよ恋
English: "The name of the series is a pun between 'Hiyoko' (ひよこ, which means chick) and 'Koi' (恋, which means love)." source: http://en.wikipedia.org

If you're ok with a SHY female lead, then you might like this manga. If you liked Kimi ni Todoke's slow progress, you might like this as well. Hiyori is the shiest and most cry baby female lead I've ever encountered! @.@

nekoRATING : 3/5

Status: ONGOING
English translated version: ONGOING/COMPLETED (volume 6 chapter 24, as of today)


Released: 2009
Artist/Author

Main characters: Nishiyama Hiyori and Hirose Yuushin

Nekochan's review starts now...
*SPOILER ALERT!*  
For the female lead, Nishiyama Hiyori...
She's soooooooooooooo SHY. And, she's sooooooooooooooo INNOCENT. She's soooooooooooo SMALL. Almost everything can make her cry! She looks so fragile. If she's a puppy, maybe she's a chihuahua. XD









For the male lead, Hirose Yuushin... 
Do you know Kimi ni Todoke's Kazehaya(male lead), they have similarities. But, he's more like a baby sitter as Hiyori looks like a baby and being beside her makes him taller(well, he's already tall 190cm). He's a little clever at times, but his little moves' sweet. He's the most popular guy in their school. 










The storyline/story:
Really slow development that even the characters got impatient(me too, actually). XD Well, Hiyori is such a kid. @.@ The concept of the story's cute but awkward. o.O Hiyori's 140 cm and Yuushin's 190 cm. What the?! They really look like father and daughter, most especially when they held hands. Really awkward @.@

The title:
Perfect title. It's all about Hiyori, anyways. :P

The Art:
Hiyori looks like Toradora's Taiga after getting a haircut. XD
Pretty nice artwork. But, I think Yuushin's face lacks something(I just don't know :P).

What's in this manga common in other mangas I've read(so far, I've read 22 mangas):
Famous male lead

What made an impression on me:
The awkward height difference
Hiyori being soooooo delicate
Mi-tan <-their hopeless romantic, hilarious homeroom teacher XD

What else?
This has an OVA.
