Synopsis

Kasugai Youichi just entered high school and started living on his own. But his new next-door neighbor, Nishimori Shizuku, is the ultimate sheltered girl. The smallest ordinary thing is new to Shizuku, who grew up never leaving her house. Naturally, there's no way he could leave such a cute girl alone!

I might be a bit biased in my review, as this was the first "manga only" manga that I've ever read, but I'll do my best to be fair.

Hakoiri Drops is a very wholesome, practically diabetes-inducing four koma, that maintains what's expected of such a format, while bringing out the good qualities of it to extremes. The comedy is light-hearted and mostly innocent, though there are several more mature jokes thrown in just to shake this up a bit. It does it's job as a comedy very well, forcing quite a few laughs out of me, so I laud it for that.

What I found most ...

Hakoiri Drops is one of those underrated mangas that everyone should read. It is about a girl, Shizuku Nishimori, who has been sheltered all her life, going to high school, with a boy, Kasugai Yoichi, who has basically been assigned to show her the outside world, with a bit of romance thrown in.

Art: 9/10

Well it's 4koma, so art is much harder to judge. However, I like their character designs very much, especially Shizuku, and brings out their personalities.

Characters: 10/10 The interactions between the main 4 or great, as it shows them growing over 3 years in high school. The development of the romance is very ...

So I was searching for a heartwarming SoL/Romance manga and I saw someone at r/anime recommend this manga (I owe you one whoever that was). As many before me has said, I feel that this is a highly underrated hidden gem.

Story: 8
I'd give the story higher but it's a damn episodic 4-koma so 8 is good enough. The story basically entails a group of friends going through the years of high school. There's little to no drama and the romance is slow, but it is enjoyable. Everyone got their own story and ambitions. Also the bromance, it's good. All in all, this manga is a ... comedic feel-good manga. Reading this manga actually makes me a bit depressed since I never had the experience of a normal high-school (much thanks COVID-19). The ending is nice for what it is, though I really wanted that one last chapter the author described. Shame she went through some health issues. I wonder how the people who followed this series for 6 years feel, I kinda want to feel it.

Art: 10
The art is just perfect for this kind of story. The character designs perfectly encapsulates their personality. Something I can't get enough of this manga is the expressions. Some of them just makes me laugh out loud. Also the ahoge, it's literally one of the most expressive things I ever saw in manga format.

Character: 10
Oooooooooooh God, I love the characters so much. It's got a great set of characters and side-characters. The main duo (Shizuku and Yoichi) goes on a subtle but evident character development. Shizuku is a sheltered girl who has lived almost half of her life inside her house. Meeting Yoichi was basically a turn of fate for her. Yoichi has a scary face but is actually very kind and overprotective of Shizuku. Their dynamic are so cute to watch. The other cast are also very nice. Moe, Jun, and Ainoki has their own spice. Their own romance growth was also quite interesting to read. And then we have Class Rep who is actually a very closet otaku but is always helpful to those around her. Last but not least, there's Seki-san who suffers from the same fate as Yoichi. Can't forget Shizuku's sister and Yoichi's aunt. They're great.

Enjoyment: 10
Yes.

Ok, I feel empty now. I basically went like this:
1. Search for Heartwarming manga
2. Found a potentially good Heartwarming manga
3. Read through Heartwarming manga
4. Finish Heartwarming manga
5. Feel empty

God, where can I find more like this?

Overall: 9+1 = 10
I would recommend this manga for anyone who'd like a feel-good heartwarming manga. Obviously the story is kinda flawed but that is really genre-flaws (it's 4-koma). Otherwise, it's a very character-driven story about a group of friends that you can enjoy. I laughed quite often when reading this manga, and some moments just makes you feel good. Truly a hidden gem I'd say, never thought I'd find something for Kirara this amusing
