Characters:

Yuno: Yuno -- sometimes called Yunocchi by Miyako -- is a young, playful girl and main protagonist of the story. She lives in the Hidamari apartments, along with her close friends and neighbors Miyako, Hiro, and Sae. Her friends think of her as a very nice person. Yuno dreams of being a great artist someday. Although she is a skilled artist overall, she considers painting and drawing her specialties.

Miyako: Yuno's classmate and good friend. She's very strange, but a very likable person. She has very good ears and is good at imitating other people. She is notorious for her appetite and love for food.

Hiro: Hiro is a year older than Yuno and Miyako, living directly under Yuno's apartment. Although she tries to be a supportive senpai to the girls, she tends to worry excessively about her weight, causing her to go on diets for periods while occasionally binging on sweets. A childhood friend of Sae, she is one of her neighbor's principal sources of support when she's involved with a deadline or other crisis.

Sae: Sae is an upperclassman and good friends with Hiro. Her artistic specialties are photography and fiction writing; she writes fiction professionally under a pseudonym and enrolled at the school specifically so she could learn how to illustrate her own work. Sae, who is tall, athletic, and generally mature, has a playful side that can be at the same time enigmatic and cutting; she has a habit of giving Yuno just enough warning about potential problems for the younger girl to fail to avoid them. She also has a fondness for playing detective when faced with such anomalies as Miyako's apartment. She tends to get upset when Miyako refers to her as having masculine qualities. She also gets very uncomfortable when asked about her love life, frequently inventing a history for herself that even cursory examination would show to be absurd, while blushing furiously.


Opening:

My Review: Hidamari Sketch is a very interesting series with it's 4 main character's distinct personalities blending into a well executed, laid back, and genuinely funny comedy.

My Rating: 4.5/5
Bread Eraser Included?: Yes, at least until Miyako eats it.
Awesome Points: 575
