Hiyokoi

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. =]

This anime is based on the manga. Hiyokoi is about a 15 year old girl who wasn't been to her highschool for a long time. She is a very shy person and is 140cm ( SMALL!! ). A guy in her class called Yuushin suddenly comes in the classroom when she introduced to herself. After that, they both sat near to each other. Could this be love?? ; D I only watched Hiyokoi without in sub titles. I understand a bit since I've read the manga. The movie seems a bit 'too' rushed. It was kind of boring. The manga is more interesting.

Story:

A fairly generic, 'delinquent type boy meets timid, shy girl', storyline. Not much content, but then, it was a single 20 minute OVA. [6/10]

Art:

Art was in a shojo sort of style, large eyes and very cute animation. [7/10]

Sound:

... Nothing that really stood out as good or bad, just standard stuff really. [6/10]

Character:

The female lead was somewhat annoying with how timid she was, and had a rather flat personality...

None of the others really stood out much either. [5/10]

Enjoyment:

Not a lot, really... There were a few cute scenes but nothing incredible. [6/10]

Overall:

Short, sweet, and cute, but nothing amazing or outstanding. [6/10]
