Hiyokoi is a nice and relaxing anime, its just a 1OVA Special. This is an adaptation of the manga, this OVA covers basically chapter 1 of the manga and thats it. The story is interesting, Hiyori is a really shy and small girl who had an accident and could not come to school. She was hit by a truck and was hospitalized, it is still a mystery to me how someone this small could be hit. That needs good aim lol. Anyways she comes back to school and as you might expect its not too good because of her shyness, her socials skills are low. Then she meets Yuushin who is uber tall and gets a seat next to him. He draws alot of attention which Hiyori does not like but later on that changes. The art and animation are pretty good and follow the manga well. My only complaint is that this is too short! It deserves a full series adaptation or atleast a movie. I hope they will make a sequel or another OVA of it in the future since the manga is up to like 8 chapters now. The characters remind me of Toradora! (lol at the locker scenes). Its great so if you like slice of life genre then check it out and you wont be disappointed. If you cant get enough then read the manga aswell. =] read more

This is like a squeezed version of Kimi ni Todoke. As a huge fan of Kimi ni Todoke, I really did enjoy this short show.
Hiyori's shyness is similar to Sawako's even though she seems a little less mature than Sawako. The story, like kimi ni todoke, is told mostly through the inner dialogues of Hiyori. I really liked that part of kimi ni todoke, so I enjoyed it in Hiyokoi too.
The animation and character designs are cute. Cute things these days tend to turn ecchi, but again, like kimi ni todoke, it stays pretty.
The male lead, Hirose, is like a less responsible version of Kazyhaya. Their personalities are awfully similar though. Even their looks, expressions, and gestures all look alike.
Unfortunately for this anime, it can only be compared to Kimi ni Todoke.
I want more episodes too, but I think if it gets more and stays the same way, there will be too much comparison, which will only make this work look bad.
But this gentle little episode is definitely worth watching if you are a fan of Kimi ni Todoke.

Feeling of a shy little girl (not good at social) falling in love with a popular boy in Hiyokoi is like Sawako (not good at social) falling in love with Kazehaya (popular boy) in Kimi ni Todoke. Except there's no rivals to fight against in Hiyokoi.
Produced by the same studio, similar atmosphere and a similar setting for both anime. Extremely shy girl meets popular guy who takes a liking to her, drastically changing her life.
Obviously! Same director, similar art. Shy, unsocial girl meets superpopular, kind boy and starts to make friends because of him. they are deskmates too
The female protagonist of Hiyokoi -Hiyorin- have the shy character of Sawako (from Kimi ni Todoke), and have the same appereance of Taiga (from Torodora) and in terms of height Yuushin and her are the opposite of Risa and Atsushi (from Lovely Complex). The story of Hiyokoi is similiar to these 3 animes as well.
Both about a popular boy helping a shy girl overcome her shyness.
Both main girl charas are shy and quiet and their partners are cheerful and outgoing. They start to make more friends as time passes by thanks to their partners
Both have shy girls who fall in love with popular boys despite obstacles. Both protagonists learn to make new friends. Both girls even have appearances that remind their classmates of other things (Sawako reminds her classmates of Sadako from The Ring, and Hiyori reminds them of a hiyoko, or baby chick).
both have the light fluff romance, between a popular guy, and an unpopular, unsocialised girl, which is very very shy
both have the sense of happiness, light warmheartedness, enabling oneself to grow, but thats the typical of shoujo romances.
both main girls start off with 0 or 1 friends because they dont know how to interact due to their shyness from different circumstances,
both girls start to develop friends, and become more open, all thanks to the typical popular guy wh has interest in the girls.
they are very similar, though Hiyokoi is a short 23 min film, its still a must watch if you really liked kimi ni todoke.
It's similar to its genre and the attitude of the protagonists.
Both female protagonists doesn't want to mingle with its classmates and does want to be alone and also the one they like is friendly and popular.

A very short special but sweet that simply covers a few chapters from the shoujo manga same as Hiyokoi
Both animes only have 1 episode about a shy girl falling in love with a popular boy on high school
Both anime's are only one episode long, and they are both about a cute shy girl falling in love with a popular boy
Both OVA are short episodes based off a shoujo manga. Hence, expect drama, romance, and a relationship between the main male and female protagonist.
Both OVA also takes place at school setting and after certain circumstances, fate brings them together. The main characters in both OVA are similar as well. The male protagonist is well liked and popular while the main female protagonist is just a simple girl.
Both OVA also has a comedy that is typical of the shoujo genre that has cliches and generics. Yet, they are fun to watch.
both are a very short 1 OVA episode that give a brief summary on some chapters in the manga
both have a shy/simple young girl protagonist, and of course an all round popular young boy
both are about the progress of romance between the 2 protagonists, while Nagare goes right into the relationship, Hiyokoi only shows the beginning of the relationship on how the protagonists met and how they discovered their feelings, it also leaves the viewer hanging wanting to know more, making the viewer want to read the manga after watching
both are placed within a school, and face struggles/misunderstandings as per usual
both are a content to watch, and yet their so simple but beautiful to watch.
