ReRe Hello is a cute, refreshing shoujo manga with surprisingly considerate, normal, but still lovable characters.

The plot is really promising: Ririko lost her mother when she was 5, therefore she has to take care of her father and her younger brother. Minato the male protagonist has the same loss and a broken relationship with his father. There is a huge distance in their financial and social position, but still a slowly growing relationship starts between them.

Despite of the really dramatic background, Rere Hello doesn't want to be more, than an entertaining shoujo manga without any real dramatic moments. The problems and situations of ... the first 20 chapters are typical shoujo moments without any new or really surprising turns. To tell the truth, I could bear with more drama and I wanted to know more about Minato's background, but maybe in the future. Fortunately the story doesn't have any exaggerated comedy - however, it has a lot of funny moments, mainly with Ririko.

Characters: It is the point where I can strongly recommend this manga to shoujo fans. Ririko is a really outstanding female protagonist - she is kind, considerate and (really important) she is composed. Whenever she faces with a new situation or feeling she tries to understand it and give a proper answer. No crying, no tantrums. And what about Minato? Well, he is kind and handsome :) The supporting characters are typical shoujo figures - I cannot say any special of their their contribution (although, I really like Hata).

The art is very nice, similar to the leading shoujo manga's (Ao haru ride, Hirunaka) style - I really liked it.

Altogether, Rere Hello is an entertaining shoujo manga with really lovable characters and artwork, with a promising plot and with the chance to see more dramatic moments. If you like shoujo, you should definitelly give it a try!

If you in a mood of reading a shoujo manga, this is the manga you should be reading. It has similar tropes as many other popular manga such as Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Horimiya, and Last Game, but there are several aspects the author implemented that made this manga a bit more enjoyable.

First off, this manga avoids any unnecessary melodrama. Even though the ReRe Hello's plot is almost the same as other romance manga (a rich, young male and a poor, hard-working female falling in love), the story didn't focus on the difficulties of their backgrounds. The manga tends to stay light-hearted and focuses ... on growing love between the two MCs.

The characters too were quite different than the usual shoujo characters. The female MC is funny, inspiring, and over-all realistic. She isn't the typical quite, shy girl nor the headstrong, tough girl. Ririko is more composed and levelheaded in many unknown situations that comes in her way. It was a breath of fresh air reading her character after experiencing countless of other shoujo female protagonists. If you are annoyed of the "tsundere" trope or the shy protagonist, I can almost guarantee that you would enjoy Ririko in ReRe Hello.

Now onto the main guy, Minato Suoh. He too isn't exaggerated personality wise. Of course we must have a over-attractive character in a romance manga, and he takes the cake. Minato is indeed the rich, handsome boy who lives alone in an apartment. We are first given the impression that Minato is gentle, but we later discover his true colors. Minato isn't a sadistic jerk, not at all. But he isn't the Prince Charming as he appears to be, and that isn't a flaw. What I appreciate of Minato is that he doesn't play around or gets overly jealous. He is also composed, and he deals with problems without making a big scene or drama.

The artwork is also one of the many reasons I picked up this manga. There are some panels I questioned, but overall, it's nothing to worry about haha.

Even though drama makes a romance manga exciting, the author made sure to have some conflicts to keep it interesting. The obstacles as well as the lightheartedness kept me interested all the way, but ReRe Hello may have utilized the "love rival" a bit too much for my taste.

Overall, I would recommend ReRe Hello to anyone wanting a good romance manga. If you are itching for drama however, I wouldn't read this. But if you want refreshing romance story, then definitely check this out.

It started off well. Don't all mangas do?

I liked how the protagonist was so disinterested in our male lead. Ririko initially sees Minato on the train when she sees him giving a cough drop to a lady who's coughing on the train; everyone else is stepping away from her. Ririko helps her dad out in their handyman business. Her dad gets sick, so she steps in for her dad and works for Minato - from moving his boxes to making meals. Minato helped out that lady because his mom had died from an illness where she coughed a lot. Then Ririko opens up about ... her mom who had died.

In the beginning, Bland-kun, Minato I mean had a personality somewhat. He was sorta a Tsundere. Affectionate but acted really cold and uncaring.

So the first couple of chapters were done well. I thought yes this'll be a good shoujo. But nope. The rest of the characters, aside from Minato's male friends and Ririko's two besties, are all in love with Minato. Not gonna lie.

Once they got together, Bland-kun, I mean Minato became so bland. He became a Yuki-kun, no joke; affectionate all of sudden and very open with his feelings.

It was rather infuriating to read. Bland-kun had like 4-5 girls who were all into him. Like every girl, who was not Ririrko's friends (which was just 1 girl) was into Minato. No lie: you've got childhood second cousin, a stalker, and a bunch of love obstacles meant to deter our lead couple and create misunderstandings that get resolved in a few chapters.

It started off really well and I was engaged until the manga realized the only way to tell a story is having almost every other female character be in love with Minato...

Completely disappointing. Art is alright, expect chopstick proportions.

Randomly picking manga is one heck of annoyance but this story made me fall on my knees and wanted to keep reading and landed my first review.

This made me realize how 5 love languages speaks to every character and thier situation. Probably this is just a normal feature of a story but when you compare this fantasy into reality this is a shocking wound that you should endure the circumstances and think through it before you move.

*WORD: I don't know if the japanese culture in dating starts with the word "Please, Go out with me" and when you accept it that means you already ... have RELATIONSHIP . Word consist in a magnificent alliance of action and being truthful and honest to your word gives an assurance with your partner.

*TOUCH: I see respect in this manga how the main character give the sense of security of his partner literaly wanted to say "yeah... this is what my generation needs". He doesn't let her felt insecured though there is a lot of girls moving around still he gave his point of view when it comes to real love.

*GIFT: Food, who does not want food? No one, really no one..everyone loves it.

*TIME: Their both busy but giving quality time to your family, friends and your partner is a must but gosh Ririko makes me felt tired,flustered due to tons of work how can she manage it?. I don't know but if this were real for sure she will collapse.

*SERVICE: Literaly SERVICE since the story start as a Master and Servant there is a lot going on but what I really love is the effect of service in every person's life such as happiness, importance and jealousy. Action speaks louder than word that is what this manga showcase. So if you want to be happy read it.

Dislike: None

Like: reality check what is this generation posting when it comes to love how being rich is equally as an advantage venture of poor.

You like shoujo romances? And prefer the fluffy adorable kind (without being corny)? Then this one is for you!

At first, I was a bit sceptical since it's a 'rich dude x normal girl' scenario, which of course can entail lots of drama. But surprisingly, this manga refrained from all this. Instead, there was a nice, realistic development between the main couple, before as well as after getting together.

The biggest plus in my opinion are the characters. Some characters play a pretty small role, but none of them felt out of place or unnecessary. Also, what I preferred about the main couple is that neither of ... them got hung up on stupid misunderstandings. Both sides were mature, trusting and actually talked (yes, really!) about things.

For some, this manga might be boring as it really doesn't contain much drama, neither between them nor from third parties. But if you're just looking for some fluff, look no further!

"Should I keep it a secret from him? ...No, it's better to be honest."
ReRe Hello does not get nearly enough credit for its unconventional approach to shoujo manga. I am surprised MAL didn't recommend it to me sooner, as it proved to be a rather solid selection from the genre.
The unique aspect of this series comes from the straightforwardness of its leads. My favorite mangas usually boast strong supporting cast, but this was one of a few that relies more heavily on its main characters. Minato and Ririko make a capable couple; she is studious, reliable, domestically talented, and physically strong, ... while he is wealthy, loving, and athletic. The obvious criticism here is that they are too far above reproach, and some planned character flaws would make for a more realistic story. Indeed, Minato's pettiness when it comes to his family is never really called out, but this is because the mangaka included such a trite plotline that was inconsistent with the actual character.
But ReRe Hello shines as distinctly different from its shoujo peers whenever a conflict is presented. Rather than tortuous, ongoing misunderstandings between characters, Minato and Ririko show themselves to have strong communication skills and demonstrate resolve in figuring things out. Have you ever rolled your eyes at how a character will be "determined" to follow a course of action, only to have some other character convince them otherwise within the same chapter? You don't have to deal with that in this manga. Of course there are still small complications or misunderstandings (to keep the story alive), but you won't find yourself tearing out your hair at the main girl's timidity or lack of confidence, and you won't have to justify any cruel behavior on behalf of the main guy.
It's a casual manga. Most of the settings are altogether normal (i.e. no plane-chasing sequences or diving into rivers). Even Minato's wealthiness doesn't become a barrier between the two, which is such a relief in this genre.
I recommend it for a light, weekend read!

Rere hello is the story about a poor girl and a rich boy who gets cut off from his parents (kind've). Now it starts normal enough of a girl meets boy story. Poor chick rich dude type story. and of course classic story about the MMC having some mommy issues. What i liked about this manga is that its pretty much what you get. The author gives us some good moments in small but consistent quality. The drama i think its handled relatively well. Despite it being little of in the first place. At least little if you compare it to the average shonen. This ... manga is also a dating series. So the romance actually is much better than i expected. and it has some great moments romantic wise. I just feel like there was no Ompf moment in this series, where it really clicked with me despite the romantic moments but at the same time. I don't think this series dipped in its quality either. A consistent kinda fun series. However this stops at the final volume. because the final volume is where the author goes ham on the series. I've always loved the whole we've come a long way and they do this mini flashback of how they met. But the author's strongest point the romance also is really well and in fact better than the past 10 volumes. Though the past 10 volumes also had fun romance. Overall I think this series did a good job without sacrificing quality. Despite it lacking any epic moments till the last volume.

7/10 Worth reading for the final volume as well as the well written ending.

ReRe Hello is a good story. But I really expected more from it. It's that type of shoujo where u have to wait 20 chapters for confession and it was really annoying. The plot is so promising, but there's no drama and not much comedy either. MCs are ordinary, without special characteristics. Story is sweet and cute on it's own way, but I was too annoyed that I had to wait so long that I can't even feel it's cuteness.
Art is good.
So, for me this manga was boring to read. I couldn't get attached to characters.
If you're ok with so stretched plot, with classic ... shoujo elements than you might like it.

DON'T READ THE LAST CHAPTER! It was the perfect shoujo manga until chapter 35, where it slowly started deteriorating. It was still alright, but then the last chapter (43, though I'd probably stop halfway through 42) absolutely destroyed everything I liked about the rest of the series.

I will write the rest of this review as if it ended with chapter 34. I absolutely LOVED this manga. It was so refreshing to read a healthy relationship for once. The lead guy is so gentle and so tender and I love how shows how much he respects his girlfriend by how he treats her. They don't let ... outside circumstances affect how they view each other and just treat each other like normal humans would. As some of the other reviewers mentioned, the story doesn't get bogged down with annoying "Why don't they just talk like normal human beings!" subplots. The characters actually talk through the misunderstandings that come up. There's a lot of character growth and the characters are well-developed. But mostly, I just loved getting to read a story where you actually get to watch the characters date and develop a sweet, selfless, wholesome relationship . . . Ahhhhh . . .



Seriously. Don't read the last chapter. It ruins the entire series and should have changed the genre.




P.S. The little brother was probably my favorite character. That kid was awesome!

Rere Hello Manga Review
By: Minami Touko
Dated: January 31, 2019

Plot:

Here's a story about an independent girl, who stands as the foundation of her family after her mother passed away. And a guy, never know what struggle is, living a life of comfort and freedom. Sounds cliche, isn't it? It was unexpectedly common for me. Though the meeting scenario is different and how the two MC became closer with each other, there's this route of the manga that you can predict how it'll end. Not to get it wrong, the story is cute and pure, there are sweet moments like any other shoujo manga. I think, ... what I came to love on this manga is the pace of it that allows every character to change their feelings and fall in love.

Characters:

What makes it slightly different from other manga is that the MC of this story can handle herself. You can trust her; she is reliable and independent. She's not the crybaby type who gets his mood ruined over little things. Adding the coolness of the guy who is so innocent and who only have eyes on her. Though, I really want to see more emotions of the guy since his expressions and actions are too limited. Maybe it'll be greater if there are scenarios that can really struck his feelings down and make him do something that is new to him.

Art:

I love this kind of art. Simple yet fascinating. The eyes say it all. Whether their mad or happy, sad or thinking. It was clearly made thoroughly and with care. The MC is undoubtedly came from a rich family, from the way he stands and the way he speaks. To the way he reacts. I think, the mangaka did a good job expressing the characters thought using his art.

Enjoyment:

Even if it is kind of cliche, I do love this kind of stories. And I enjoyed reading it a lot. There's only one thing that I really really waited, until the end of the story. But it never comes. I was expecting something that will make their bond waiver. Something that will test their love for each other or something that will make the story more exciting. Guess, not all shoujo are like that.

Ending:

It ended peacefully and happily, like most of us want in a love story. I can't think of a climax of this one. It was like the thrill of reading it along the way is just neutral. It was cute and funny, but not to the point that it was unforgettable. It was a good read if you just want something light and pure.

[WORK AND AUTHOR]
Re Re Hello is a manga written by manga artist Touko Minami, born in Saitama Prefecture, which probably debuted in 2002 with a short story called “Guuzen ka Unmei ka”. He has ten published works in total, including the most recent “Koi no Youna Mono ja Naku”, which has been published since 2020; among them, Re Re Hello is his best-rated work, according to information from My Anime List. Furthermore, I found no information about the author on the internet, in English or Portuguese.

[HISTORY]
Regarding the story, I would say that all the characters in the work are well-written. I especially liked Ririko, who ... is a solid character and different from others I've seen, as she works a lot (literally), which is funny. Minato, on the other hand, is dull. But, with Ririko it becomes interesting, making super cute couple scenes possible. The author's lines are very beautiful to read and the plot is generally well written. The penultimate arc I thought was unnecessary because it could have focused more on Ririko and Minato's relationship, but it was well-written too. The ending was rushed, but I think it wasn't bad. Overall, it's a good story and I recommend reading it!

[MORE+]
An interesting fact is that before Re Re Hello, the characters Towa, Ririko, and Hata appear in a short story called “Mebuki Kimidori”, released two months before Re Re Hello. And honestly I would find it interesting if it were a complete story.
