Himari no Mawari

Summary: Your generic romcom about an antisocial dude, an energetic step-sister, and all their friends. This manga was obviously axed, as it tried to have some drama that could possibly develop but was never fulfilled. You can read this if you want a quick read of a cute and energetic girl. You don't lose nor gain much from reading this manga. Actual Review Story (4/10): An energetic girl moves in with her new step-brother, and we start seeing the daily life of them and their friends. That is pretty much the whole story. Basic rom-com stuff. I like how they tried to put a bit ofdrama into the fray, but the manga seemed to have been axed, so that wasn't able to go anywhere. The fact the manga was trying to add more flair but failed to do so puts the story as below average for me. Art (9/10): Personally, I believe the art carries this manga. I would've given this manga a 5/10 if it wasn't for the art. The art on the cover of the manga is the only reason I decided to read this, after all. I wish the story were as good as the art. Character (5/10): Himari is by far the best character, but she doesn't really have a character besides just being three things: energetic, naive, and cute. Everyone else is a wash. Enjoyment (5/10): It was a fine experience. Nothing of significance. Mostly something I just read on the bus to university or work.
