Books touch the soul. Himawari san follows the story of two girls: Himawari the owner of a small bookstore and Matsuri a student whose high school is across the street from the bookstore. Matsuri begins to approach the bookstore due to the rumors that spread about its owner to end up knowing every detail of the place and of Himawari herself. As long as you work part time little by little friendships will emerge. 220https://cdnlily.amydrive.nl/manga5f6ab1b570577/aa74a334fa8d683301d572e809881c5b/002.jpg . . A yuri not so yuri. First of all I would like to talk a little about the initial topic. Although the manga begins with the typical of the genre girl meets girl and they establish a love relationship the plot I prefer to take the romantic in a subtle way or at least on rare occasions. Although it is true that the theme is latent for several chapters the couple has not taken giant steps towards the relationship. Matsuri is the one who falls head over heels for Himawari and she makes sure to tell him whenever she gets the chance. On the other hand Himawari is a reserved woman who plays Matsuri in a more remote way so it could be said that love does not progress as expected. BUT that is not a negative path. Both girls move forward in their own story and slowly but surely connect. The plot develops the feelings that each one has halfway with their pasts and relationships with other people to later develop the love connection. It is a more mature slow and adorable type of love. The definition of affection of each character is prioritized. 220https://lilymanga.com/wpcontent/uploads/WPmanga/data/manga5f6ab1b570577/c815349c47d940df60b76d7c333a026c/018.jpg . . Girls girls and young people. The manga presents us with two worlds: The world of adults with Himawari and the world of adolescence among friends with Matsuri. And no place is boring Although the adults who surround Himawari present harder themes such as loss unrequited love nostalgia unfulfilled dreams and lack of identity... The young women are not far behind. Well meet Matsuris group of friends and Im happy to say that everyone gets their space sooner or later. Its nice to see how both worlds interact and there are no problems or jokes about the change of generation. Simply... nostalgia and love of life. High school girls carry a lot for the future but enjoy their day to day life. . . The books are infinite. Himawarisan tackles a subject that I love: reading. Himawari owns the bookstore for a reason she makes him read Many situations revolve around what books people can approach and this bookstore has everything for everyone plus Himawari is the one who advises and recommends reading. You could swear theres a book for every character and plenty to help them solve their problems or guide them through a difficult path. Personally these moments are very pleasant. They mean a great message no matter the person no matter what you read the point is that it is to your liking do not abandon your dream and discover new worlds and stories in books. Because in Himawaris words: When it comes to reading books reading an interesting book fills my heart. . . Conclusion. And if we talk about reading things this manga just fills the soul. Its an easy even quick read that introduces lovable and interesting characters always from a positive and lighthearted perspective. Matsuri is a sun full of energy capable of infecting others with his smile and Himawari is the relaxed bright and wise moon that accompanies that sun so that he can continue with his life on the right track and having fun. It is a manga that I highly recommend whose only drawback I find is that it is quite slow. As I mentioned lovemaking is not fast loud and visual but slow smooth and emotional. If youre willing to follow along youll find a story with lots of lovable tropes and characters. Maybe it increases your taste for reading? 220https://i.pin.com/200x/ab/a1/ce/aba1cef2e6612981bc08a6def9ccd4f7.jpg
