Hi I like to leave a little review for manga that I read that dont have any other reviews. Love is too Early for Himenochan is a sliceoflife romantic comedy centered around a precocious 4th grader named Himeno and her crush on her friend Ouji. With a cast of colorful characters along with hilarious and adorable interactions Love is too Early for Himenochan was a manga I looked forward to updating every month. Himeno and Ouji our titular male and female leads of the manga complement each other well. Without backstories or exposition their relationship is defined only as the first crush our elementary school selves had one that when looking at kids I counsel at summer camps I think how cute and adorable while mentally cringing at my own when I was younger. Cute and adorable is exactly how Id describe Himeno and Oujis interactions with Himeno asserting her mature adultlike view of romance onto Ouji and Ouji just wants what any 4th grade boy wants: Pokemon cards. Lots of unique gags on this idea keeps me laughing from dating compatibility apps being nothing more than just another video game to Ouji or on a clothes shopping trip date according to Himeno Ouji thinks the Pokedevil shirt is the most fashionable.This isnt purely where the charm lies in their relationship: what I mean by complimenting each other well comes from the fact that Himeno in reality is just another 4th grader at heart such as disliking peas or being afraid of monsters. Its in these moments where Ouji lives up to his name of prince acting as the gentleman such as pretending to like peas to help Himeno out or not leaving Himeno behind in the schools haunted house. I think its this dynamic between Himeno and Ouji that makes this manga so interesting enjoyable and adorable. The other supporting characters in Love is too Early for Himenochan are just as entertaining and solid and I think the manga did a good job of fleshing them out instead of having them just be 2D props. Sometimes a chapter or multiple chapters in a row wont be centered around Ouji and Himeno and are used to explore a multitude of other character pairings. Some of my favorite side characters are Takagishi Tsubasa the tomboy girl who hangs out with Ouji and his guy friends Oujis brother Ichitaka Mr. Im not popular the all too relatable no experience with love whatsoever guy who even has his own heroic moments the actual mature oneechan of Himeno Azusa who fans of Takagi will love her teasing moments with Oujis brother and of course the teacher Natsumesensei whose single unmarried self gets lectured on love by a 4th grader. I think its refreshing and entertaining when exploring their stories with Ouji and Himeno along with each other and gives the manga more life. Theres really not much else for me to talk about. The art is simplistic but expressive a perfect fit for the series in my opinion with every character having a unique look to them. I havent read another manga where an oblivious male lead is justified so I guess thats a quirk in and of itself. Its sadly a shame that the manga ended out of the blue the way it did: development between Ouji and Himeno were starting to take place through small scenes here and there and it was always entertaining for me to look forward to something new with Love is too Early with Himenochan. If slice of life romance comedy isnt your cup of tea and youd prefer stuff with a bit more drama and development then Himenochan might not be for you. Otherwise I think Himenochan is worth a bit of your time to read if you didnt think Takagisan or Nagatoro were complete trash and hopefully youd find it charming and entertaining as I did.
