I directly love these cover.. Very cute art and their synopsis interested me..
I didn't regret bought it^^
First, this story kinda strange to me. it mean, why Niina still remember her past? How to explain this while she too young for know everything that no longer excist... but, I decided to ignore it & just focus for story....
Honeslty I cried, this comics hurting me with their characters, so warmly, I can felt too.. I was sad and seriously cry when I started read Vol.2 .... not just me, but my friends who borrow this Niina actually cried too.. haha

Also, she remembers the promise she made to him. And our story begins. Very small spoilers will follow.
Art- The art is adorable, cute, sweet. Its such a light, yet detailed art that suits the characters perfectly. Character- Its impossible not to love the main protagonists. If you´re waiting for ...

The first thing that attracted me in this manga is it's art. I really love it's art. So much. I fell in love with it when I read the synopsis. Then when I read the manga I got addicted to it.
Niina, a 10 year-old girl, met her past love life. How cute is that? I liked the story because it's very attractive. It has a very unique plot and is very shoujo. So It is very recommended for shoujo fans. And especially for fans of loli-shota. As for the romance in the story, it was very cute, like starting from puppy love to teenage love. Niina makes ...

From the beginning, she meets the old boyfriend from her past life, so that's the running plot in the start. I thought that the whole manga would be about Niina as an eleven-year-old girl, but there is a time skip right after chapter one, which was surprising but well done. It made the story much more enjoyable. After reading the first chapter I think many people would drop the manga, thinking it to be about a silly little girl pining over an older man, but it really does get better. I liked her as an older girl in high school.
I found Niina to be a ...

I'd been on the hunt for a good Shoujo manga, before this story I read a few boring ones that didn't leave much of an impression on me. I came across this one and read the reviews (all that highly praised this manga btw) So I decided to pick it up and read it AND BOY I"M SO HAPPY I DID.
Hajimari no Niina made me ~almost cry (I sucked it up because I was reading it at work) I'm not crazy about romances with a huge age gap, at some point in the manga I was rooting for another guy, but I quickly ended ...

What happens when you lose the one you love when your life together has barely even begun? Hajimari no Niina answers this question very simply - by coming back to see your loved one through reincarnation. Chitose comes back as a girl named Niina in order to be with Atsurou, despite the age barrier that now exists between them and despite the fact that he doesn't know who she really is.
The manga is great at weaving the emotions of the characters throughout the story, exploring the hard question of who suffers more: the one left behind, or the one who left? The story isn't ...

At first I was reluctant to read this manga because of the whole "past life" aspect. However, this manga is extremely beautiful and definitely worth your time. Unlike most shoujo manga, it is not 100% cliche (for example falling onto one another) and the romance is sweet, slow, and subtle. The characters also do not fit into the regular shoujo manga mold. For example, the mc realizes her immaturity and reflects on it. The male character is very smart and understanding too, and lets the mc find her own path in life. The other characters are also well developed. The "past life" part is actually

I can't really express how much I love this manga... Usually I don't like ones with huge age differences but this one is different. Hajimari no Niina is the most endearing romance with the age difference I've read. I wish all shojo manga could be as sweet!! :)

If you don't want to read the full length of this review, skip to the bottom where I'll leave some pro's and con's for a fast over view of the manga.
I'm going to skip right to the point. This manga doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should. These days it gets harder and harder to find new original stories that are actually good. No one wants to a boring bunch of pages that are wasted on shallow storyline that has been published over and over. Even as there are only 6 chapter available online for this manga at the present time, I can ...

I don't understand why the history finished so fast. This manga gave me the impression that there were a lot of points to develop but most of them got lost. For example, what was all that about Niina going to a University if in the end she got married so fast?
After Niina's childhood it seems like the plot was not well structured. BTW, I even thought they could have developped more Niina's childhood side. She seemed so strong and sure of herself in the first moment, even more than the adults around her because she had past memories. Although, when she became a High ...

At first I just started to read the manga, because I like the art, but then the story totally got me. I never read something like this before. It's something totally new and so cute.
The story is new and just amazing. Cutely written and so romantic. The art is like I said lovable. The main characters were made with so much love and time that you have to love them. All in all the author tried something new and did an excellent job :D

Normally, a story about a dead girl is a sad one. But what if she was reborn again, in a 10 year old girl body?
Story 6/10 : I would have given the story a 9 if it weren't for the big age gap between the heroine and her love interest (15 years !). I'm also in high school, so I kept on imagining if I were dating a thirty years old guy, and the idea made me feel so sick. If it was treated as something normal in the manga, I would have dropped it or didn't even bother reading it. But the thing is, it ... |
