Hitomi-chan is Shy With Strangers Vol. 1

Product Information

When Najimi, Komi and Yamai visit the Tadano's home on the last day of summer to study, Hitomi greets them and thanks them for hanging out with her brother. She is confused at Najimi's apparent change in gender, and wonders if Yamai is Tadano's girlfriend, but is most perplexed by Komi, and drags her brother out into the hall, incredulous that he managed to convince Komi to visit. She hangs with the group as they study, and brings them drinks to share [3].

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.This one is one of the least offensive ones, which means it has to distinguish itself in other ways and this volume continues the minimally service-y (well, in comparison) antics and the overly sweet developing romance between our two leads. Usami might be a touch dull, nothing new there, but he and Hitomi still make a cute couple. Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics ( She is constantly rated as super strong and athletic, she can even throw humans [1] several meters away without problems [2]), Fear Manipulation ( Hitomi's presence and looks are scary and can make people and animals run away [3], some people have thought that she was the man-eating woman [4]), Empathic Manipulation ( Her boobs are so soft and good [5] that even the ones who were scared of her [6] started to love her [7]), Madness Manipulation ( She's so scary that people can feel the Death itself after being stared by her [8]), Afterimage Creation ( She can even create afterimages by movements alone [9]), Aura ( Hitomi can emit a creepy Aura around herself [10], her aura is really powerful [11]), Natural Weaponry ( Her teeths are comparable to a shark's teeth [12]), Extrasensory Perception ( Hitomi can sense people's Aura [13]) Yes, there are jokes about her chest size. There’s one dud involving a catsuit that is just ridiculous and definitely reminds me of the lame jokes from the first volume, but a lot of them are clever. The entire relay race is just great. It’s really got the balance of fan service to other jokes pretty much spot on at this point. To keep up the cosplay trope, a teacher introduced last volume is now a recurring character who ensures all the rest of the characters always have season-appropriate costumes available. During March, Tadano is fretting over what to get Komi for White Day, in return for the chocolate he got on Valentine's Day. He asks Hitomi for advice, who again misinterprets Komi for Katai, asking if it's serious, but she reconsiders the long-haired shadow she saw on Valentine's, realising that it was a girl. Hitomi questions if the chocolate was for friends, or something else, Tadano is unsure, but hasitly assures himself that it couldn't be. Hitomi makes Tadano hold an image of this person in head, and, holding his shoulders, urgently demands if it's love, as Tadano sheepishly admits that he pays extra attention to this "person". Hitomi, grabbing her coat, goes to the department store for a present, as their mother eavedrops on them, only hearing that Tadano got chocolate from a boy, further deepening the misunderstanding [11].

And the latest trope: a transfer student is plopped into the story with the promise of shaking up the main characters' will-they-won't-they status quo. Just before winter break, Tadano leaves to ride on his bike at night, as Hitomi wonders he's buying something, like porn. Tadano later finds Komi, and suggests hanging out over the break [6]. In May 2021, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that they had licensed the series for English release in North America in both physical and digital format. [5] The first volume was released on October 5, 2021. [6] Volumes [ edit ] No.
