Hitomi-chan wa Hitomishiri or Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers, is a manga about a socially awkward big tiddy tomboy who has trouble talking to people, because she has anxiety and of course, because of the cliched 'I look too scary to make friends' trope.

While the premise has been done to death in many other manga, Hitomi-chan has a certain charm of its own. The character design of the MC is pretty unique and likable. The overall art and other character designs are hit or miss most of the time though.

It's just a good old slice of life-comedy in a school setting with each chapter ... featuring Hitomi interacting with a couple of friends she made that serve as our supporting cast. Only 15 chapters have been out so not a lot of characters have been introduced, but I have hopes that it maintains its charm. I will be updating the review as more developments occur.

If you like light-hearted manga like these, then just go for it. If you're looking for a story with an extended arc or something, it's not to be found here. This is just a simple, sweet manga, and should be enjoyed as such.

Hitomi-chan wa Hitomishiri (Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers) is a nice slice of life comedy about an extremely tall 1st year high school student that has been blessed/cursed with a set of honking hooters. But the manga isn't about Hooterville, but the subject does come up on occasion.

The Lead female is Hitomi, who becomes the male lead's Kouhai. Usami Yuu is the male lead in this series, and the story is about his relationship with Takano Hitomi from when they first meet on the train to school. Being about a head shorter than Hitomi, the only thing keeping her nipples from poking his eyes ... out is that they both are fully dressed. And he does notice her breasts, but tries to be a gentleman about it, even though he ends up with the occasional face plant.

Usami helps his new kouhai with everyday life, from going to and from school, to stopping at a crepe shop, and even having a study group consisting of him, Hitomi, and his younger sister, Kaoru, who is also Hitomi's classmate.

No dating or confessions have been made yet, but it will happen as the chemistry between the two main characters is very telling. The fact that little sister appears to be working in the background as a potential matchmaker makes this story so much better. It reminds me a little of the Archie Comic Books I read as a kid in the 60s, but...

*Rapid Review*

As of chapter 120:

It's a high 4/10. It's extremely slow and nothing much happens, even in romantic moments. But it is wholesome, and if you like Big women, particularly big, muscular women with abs (and big boobs) who loves food and has shark teeth, then give it a shot. It's really
asbolutely nothing special and the art is decent to meh.

The fact that I have so very little to say after 125 chapters goes to show how unimpactful and mediocre this manga is. You are not missing out on anything by not reading this, unless you like girls with shark teeth.

I'm NOT a ... contrarian, and if your opinion differs, be civil. Your opinion is as valid as mine. Don't rate this as "confusing" just because you disagree with my view, instead, criticise the actual writing of the review. That's what it's there for. Don't be a child. Thank you for reading my rapid review, have a nice day/night!
