During the summer, she makes a true, albeit brief, appearance when Tadano sneezes due to Grandma Yuiko's frequent references to him, and asks if he's caught a summer cold [2]. Hitomi briefly visits Tadano's school maid cafe, as she had some free time, no sooner had she entered she saw Tadano in a maid outfit. Slightly unnerved, she snaps a picture of him and promptly leaves, phoning their mum, declaring that he really is "like that" (presumably transgender, or otherwise non-standard). She later uploaded that photo to the cloud, so it could exist forever [4]. a b Mateo, Alex (October 5, 2021). "North American Anime, Manga Releases, October 3-9". Anime News Network.

Just before winter break, Tadano leaves to ride on his bike at night, as Hitomi wonders he's buying something, like porn. Tadano later finds Komi, and suggests hanging out over the break [6].Hitomi is known to be extremely athletic, strong, fast, and scary; people can feel death itself after being faced by Hitomi. She shows up again during the school festival, which I think might be one of the dumbest and therefore best haunted house scenes I’ve seen in ages. It’s the best case scenario of a joke just escalating and escalating. There’s an omake that also preserves the ratio of stupid : excellent because of how it’s presented. We also have a great stable of supporting characters now - the ridiculously cosplay-positive teacher makes several reappearances that just happen to allow for some fan service, and the gaggle of delinquents are still causing trouble, mainly for themselves.

While the premise has been done to death in many other manga, Hitomi-chan has a certain charm of its own. The character design of the MC is pretty unique and likable. The overall art and other character designs are hit or miss most of the time though.

The extremely extra theatre teacher makes a great addition and her zeal for costumes reminds me of how extra the drama club teacher was in my high school to a tee.

Nor is Hitomi, or anyone around her, interesting or likable enough to carry the rest of the humor for anyone who isn't specifically into this dynamic. Her sharp, uncomfortably toothy grins and constant unintentional glower may be funny the first couple times, but after the fifth or sixth iteration of the gag, I would have preferred having a greater sense of who she was as a person rather than see her solitary personality trait repeated ad nauseum. Yuu is such a potato that it's hard to think of a single adjective to describe him. He's… nice? I guess? By the end of the volume there are hints at some relationship development, but circumstances surrounding it kind of makes it hard to feel invested.
