Before I share my views, I have to tell you that I did enjoy reading some parts of Hibi Chouchou! It is a very light and calming read about a shy boy and a shy girl, and their awkward attempts to communicate with each other are very comedic and heartwarming. That being said, Chouchou is far from being a manga that I can personally commend. While I think the relationship dynamic between the heroine and her love interest is well-enacted, I feel that it sorely fails in the individual character department.
