A pure love story between a young bookstore owner and a terribly smitten girl who comes to visit every day from the high school nearby.

The relationship between the two develops at a comfortable pace as the story demonstrates how books can shape one's relationships in profound ways, and explores what's fundamentally human about wanting to tell stories, and wanting to read them. The characters in Himawari-san are wreathed with and steeped in love, from difficult pasts to the day-to-day, to ends and beginnings across generations in a place that feels like home.

I loved Himawari-san.

On the other hand,I admire the art.It was drawn beautifully.I also use the art to make reference when I'm drawing my own.

Overall,it is a nice story.The reason I attracted to read this because of the ...
