日々蝶々 12 by suu Morishita
4.0

Hibi Chouchou is a manga I would classify as "quiet". In terms of the general atmosphere, I would compare it to Natsume's Book of Friends, even though the two are completely different genres.

But both are not manga that are not going to "yell" at you. They are not loud, or oppressive, or demanding. They are warm, sweet and thoughtful. They are not overly dramatic and they don't need to be. They take their time, slowly, not demanding anything from you and yet somehow still retaining your attention and devotion.

They envelop you like a blanket, keeping you warm at night. Making you smile. Making you root for the main crazy like crazy, as you fall in love with their friends and relationships. You fall into rhythm with them as their daily life unfolds. No antagonist to rage against. No big obstacles besides those normal people in normal relationships will face.

Genuine. Sweet. Unassuming. Calming. Quieting. All those words come to mind when I think of this manga. If any of these words appeal to you, give this manga a shot to grab your heart and twist it around its little finger. Promise you won't be disappointed!
