Hiyori Nishiyama is a 15-years-old girl who is extremely shy and short. After being a year hospitalized due to a car accident, she starts going to high school as a freshman, along with her best friend Ritsuka. In her class there is a boy who is very tall and seems to have a lot of friends. His name is Yuushin Hirose and becomes Hiyori's friend (even if at the beginning Hiyori is not very happy with his habits). After an accident where her panties were shown to the class, she starts making friends and falls in love with Yuushin, but due to her shyness, she does not know how to confess to him.
Characters Description :
Hiyori Nishiyama (西山ひより Nishiyama Hiyori)
A 15-year-old girl on first year of high school. She has a height of 140 centimeters and is very shy, because she doesn't want people to trick on her. She is referred as cute by her classmates, specially by Natsuki and Yuushin. Her best friend is Ritsuka, who she has met since kindergarten. Her nicknames are Hiyo (used by Ritsuka) and Hiyorin (used by Yuushin and other classmates). Hiyori admires Yuushin because he can make friends easily, while she can't. Later, she falls in love with him. Hiyori also has a cat named Pui-pui, which was found by Yuushin in the school grounds.
Yuushin Hirose (広瀬結心 Hirose Yūshin)
Ritsuka Nakano (中野律花 Nakano Ritsuka)
Natsuki Aizawa (相沢夏輝 Aizawa Natsuki)
A 15-year-old girl who is Hiyori and Yuushin's classmate. She loves cute things and is one of the classmates that thinks Hiyori is cute. She has been classmates with Yuushin in all of her middle school years. It is revealed that Natsuki had a crush on her homerooom teacher back in her last year in middle school, but when she learned that he was married, she felt heart broken, and so cut her hair. Natuski decided that she will only grow her hair when she has found someone that she loves. It is revealed that her birthday is on July 18.
Kisaki Tominaga (富永きさき｜Tominaga Kisaki)
Kisaki is a former classmate of Yuushin's. She confessed to Yuushin when they were young, but it is unknown what he said to her. She asked Hiyori to deliver some Valentine's chocolate to Yuushin, but Hiyori broke down and couldn't do it. Kisaki attends a prestigious school. She is very beautiful, and has a 'short person' complex (she envies short people like Hiyori.).
The OVA is adapted from the first 2 chapters of the manga series. I think Hiyori is a very cute and sweet girl. When she found out that she has feelings for Yuushin, she willing to show her courage out. I think this is very lovely. Yuushun is a nice boy too. He is always so outstanding due to his height of course and also his kindness. Actually I would like to know if he has the feelings for the small cute girl, Hiyori.
When I am reading this manga, it is kind of remind me of my high school days. This is due to I am a very petite person, so I was the smallest size person in my class and some of my classmates (boys) are 6-footers too. Guess what?! They like to joke with me and sometimes even helped me to carry some heavy stuff to show their gentle. But I did not have the romance with them! :P Haha! I recalled one time they joked with me that those boys took off their sneakers and compared to mine and said that their sneakers are like big boat for me as I am wearing the size 3 for my shoes. FYI, those 6 footers are having about size 11 or 12, or even bigger size?! Thus, when I am reading " Hiyokoi", I enjoy it very much and I also like this manga too. I can tell you that this is one of my favourite manga series of the year.
So, let us take a peek of the OVA and the manga series here.
