Yeah, there hasn't been a slice of life I've finished without it leaving a hole in my heart.

This one hurts me. Right from the beginning, I was so intrigued by the kind of story a grandma could create from being born again at the same time as her demise. There's no period of adjusting, no weird knowledge, or things the grandma fears. Just the calm atmosphere, the day-to-day life of this knowledgeable child as she goes on to have friends, to hang out with her grandson, and eventually find out what she's supposed to do.

The stories of the people surrounding her, and the ... melancholy, permeating each page, as we encounter children in conflict, a family trying to get to know Hinata, and how she clashes with the ideas of each person around her. It feels like a toned-down drama, with an extra flair for something I can't explain. Like a cold tea, in the last summer of my childhood. Nostalgic, a coming of age, not for the protagonist Hinata, but for her grandson, through the eyes of his reincarnated grandma.

The progression felt so natural, it reminds me of my responsibilities as an adult, of growing up, and the need to become a member of society, from a warm hug that lets you know how well things will be. Loads of those strange analogies for lovely things we feel when in the presence of the family.

It's not a groundbreaking story, or the most interesting plot progression, but, it's special from just how much heart it's got. There's so much grandma trivia, cooking scenes, school life, conversations that don't have much meaning, it's legitimately like watching a day to day in the life of someone peaceful, reincarnated or not.

Everything was designed to be as wholesome as possible: The art, the dialogue, the expressions, the character designs. They all have a philosophy geared towards softening the day, and giving infinite positivity, with big arcs about the implications on reincarnation. It's got incredible backstories, and moments that do add stakes to the story. It isn't empty at all, so instead of just the nice style, it's got the substance to back it all up.

We should all appreciate those around us. They won't be there forever, and we'll mourn the fact we didn't reach out as soon as we could. Call them, tell them just how much you appreciate them, and never forget. There's an invisible number of calls you have with your grandparents before they'll stop being able to respond. Always keep that in mind.

8/10. Anything that strengthens the bond with me and my family, deserves a solid rating. And it's just so nice, and comfortable.

Preliminary (Unknown/? eps)

It's no new that 'Tensei' works are trending in Japan. It can be said that it is extremely easy to project oneself to a life different from the tiring real world. A free life, free from obligations and inhuman workloads. The sweet nectar once lost of a moment that a person wish had experienced before being just another one to exist in a society which is increasingly unable to see the future in good perspective.

Just like every human being needs a moment of leisure, a sort of peace of mind makes necessary to modern Japanese society and "Roujo-teki Shoujo Hinata-chan" fortunately delivers a weird surprise ...

Preliminary (9/? eps)

Eh, Obaachan Shoujo Hinata-chan is not as great as I expected it to be, but the premise is really catching. A grandma that gets reincarnated as a kid, this seems like a promising I can tell by the premise that it's going to be interesting than 90% of isekai plots, is it? Nah it's pretty average. This manga story is non-linear so there really is no direct story that is being told instead it's just really badly aimed slice of life anime anyone who's been reading manga long enough knows these tropes such manga are Jahy-sama and that 4chan girl (I forgot her name) but ...
