Hitorijime My Hero 1

I watched the anime first so I was beyond thrilled to see this available and preordered it as soon as it became available and I’m so glad I did since it was super cute and (almost) as good as the anime.*Minor Spoilers Ahead*First, this is a spinoff of the author’s other story about Asaya and Ken, Hitorijime My Boyfriend, so they’re already an established couple by the time the volume starts and none of the characters are really introduced like they are in the anime so it can be a bit confusing for those of us who haven’t read that volume. Also, there are several characters who appear in the anime who are missing (rainbow sweater dude from the gang, and Kouske’s friends from the bar - Asaya’s older sister and her husband, the detective dude) and who I really missed.The story is much faster paced than the anime and this one volume covers about 95% of the anime’s timeline. It actually makes more sense if you’ve already seen the anime since it explains things which are only barely glossed over in this volume for space sake. The story is still cute and Kouske and Masahiro are just as lovable and adorable as they are in the anime though. Ken is just as happy and sweet, and Asaya is his usual grumpy self. There’s a hilarious moment near the end of the second chapter where Masahiro walks in on an intimate moment between Ken and Asaya which definitely did not appear in the anime and which is completely awesome. There are some more intimate moments, but nothing is shown “on screen" so the volume does not arrive in plastic wrap.On a purely physical note, the volume is slightly larger than my other BL novels, and the cover is matte instead of glossy.Overall, Kouske and Masahiro are adorable whether it’s manga or anime and I highly, highly recommend this for anyone who watched and loved the anime, or anyone who likes BL in general. I am eagerly awaiting the next volume!

So, for starters, Hitorijime my Hero is about the side characters from the one shot Manga "Hitorijime my Boyfriend", which if you've watched the show you'd see that that Manga was included, as well as Hitorijime my Hero, because of course the storyline adds up. The author had always planned to write a separate story for Masahiro and Kousuke. So, onto the actual review of volume 1... During the beginning I was very confused, (saying I watched the show then bought the Manga), bc for obvious reasons they put both Hitorijime my hero, and Hitorijime my Boyfriend in the same show. But nonetheless, this volume focuses on Masahiro's and Kousuke's relationship. Meaning Kousuke's failed plan to lead on Masahiro, all the way to Setagawa upgrading from his "underling" to, his "common-law wife" (as said in the Manga, haha!). But nonetheless, I personally enjoyed this volume, and plan to buy the next. If you liked the show, I'd definitely say you would like the Manga.Some people were saying that the story telling was a bit mumbled, but as I read it, I didn't understand why people were saying that, unless they watched the show first. The Manga itself, is easy to follow, but if you watched the show first, I would recommend you read Hitorijime my Boyfriend before reading Hitorijime my Hero!! :)

I love this series so I had to purchase it to support but the physical copy came abit damaged that’s the only issue I had with it but other than that there is nothing wrong with it.

This was such a cute start cant wait to read the rest of the series! I feel like a teenager again lol!

👍

I just got this in the mail and it was perfect wrapped and I really love the story as well! I 100% advise you to buy this! ‘‘Tis is coming from a girl who loves yaoi manga.

As a gay guy who loves yaoi and bara and dislikes the over feminized bottoms this is a whole new breath of fresh air! Great story cute scenes and overall amazing manga! The anime is also amazing! Would recommend this to gay guys or any girls out there who are into this!

So good! The relationship development between the two boys in this series is not your typical BL set up. I appreciate the creativity of this story and you can really see and feel the emotions. Not too much smexy stuff, but a nice slow burn for the first volume.

Antes que nada, para quienes no saben nada sobre esta serie:No es necesario ver el anime antes de leerlo pero puede ser un poco confuso sin contexto, así que sí ayudaría ya sea verlo o que lean el tomo único de Hitorijime Broyfriend, que es la historia de donde se deriva esta historia.En cuanto al contenido de este tomo: la historia puede parecer que tenga un ritmo acelerado porque es una historia que ya tiene el antecedente del tomo anterior. En lo personal, me encanta la forma en la que Memeko-san decidió que se llevaran a cabo los sucesos porque evitó las vueltas innecesarias que pueden llegar a cansar en Hitorijime Boyfriend. El mismo ritmo nos demuestra bien la diferencia entre ambas parejas y las personalidades de cada uno. Además se podría decir que nos prepara para el resto de la serie.En general, sin ánimos de hacer spoiler: la historia es divertida, entretenida y tiene un drama muy peculiar que se mezcla perfectamente. La pareja es muy linda y los personajes se quieren mucho, especialmente Setagawa, que comparado con el anime es bastante más carismático. Además tiene algunas diferencias importantes con la animación que vale la pena leer de aquí en adelante, lo recomiendo encarecidamente.Otra cosa que me encanta es que no es explícito y queda perfectamente con la historia, porque se basa más bien en el desarrollo y sentimientos de los personajes. Así que si te gusta este tipo de historias que se centran en los personajes, esta es excelente!!Estaba emocionada por comprar este tomo porque he seguido la serie desde hace varios años y hasta ahora pude permitirme comenzar a coleccionar los tomos. Por suerte Kodansha no me decepcionó, así que aquí va mi comentario sobre la edición:El tomo mide alrededor de 20 x 14cm, por lo que es más grande que los tomos que usualmente publica Panini, por ejemplo, lo que ayuda mucho con los detalles y cuando hay texto pequeñito en las páginas. Las portadas tienen una impresión en mate muy buena, he de decir, los colores son excelentes y la imagen es muy nítida.Eso sí, es pasta blanda, muy sencilla y es bastante delgada, pero la verdad es que no está nada mal. La espina también es excelente: no se cuartea, aunque no dudo que si se intenta abrir de par en par se llegue a quebrar (que es lo común con los libros). En todo caso, no hay necesidad de abrir demás el tomo porque las páginas están impresas de modo que nada se esconda en el encuadernado.Sobre las mismas páginas hay que decir que me sorprendió la calidad: sí son un poco grisáceas y al tacto se podría pensar que la calidad no es tan buena, pero la realidad es que son bastante más gruesas de lo que esperaba. La calidad de impresión es increíble, incluso los detalles de bocetos que trae al final se ven muy nítidos y la diferencia de tonos está muy bien definida.También tiene una página a color al inicio que me encanta y tanto el capítulo bonus como los contenidos extras que tiene al final son el final perfecto para este tomo.

I love this Manga and anime but the cover is teared up and not that in good condition but this time I accept it.... But I love masahiro and kousuke-san and Adobe everyone in this story 😩💕

Arrived quickly, very satisfied

Excellente série. Pour la version anglaise par contre, je recommande vivement de recouvrir les tomes

Arrived in perfect condition. However the story is incredibly confusing at the start and I couldn’t follow the story. I found reviews online and I found out you actually have to watch the anime first for the story to make senseThis is a spin of series to the story hitorijime my boyfriend (the manga releases later in 2021)I would recommend watching the hitorijime my hero anime first then reading the manga for the story to make more sense
