Characters are adorable and very accurate. Many authors make their characters too mature for their age but Ojiro-san really showed that they're 14. They're adorably innocent and odd make your heart warm with every adventure and antic.

The plot follows the slice of life staples, with status quo changing rarely, if at all, until near the very end. Some chapters may be a tiny bit strained, there’re some fluctuations in the mood (from a somewhat messy teen romance to a happy family-like romance), but overall the high quality of writing is maintained. I need to talk about the relationship a little too. Fujiyama and Kanba are young people new to this world of love they have allowed themselves into. With young love comes really dumb behaviour on both sides. Like the first being in the very first chapter where Fujiyama just says yes to wanting to go out with Kanba. No question. Just yes. Why? Maybe it is because she wanted to know what it felt like being in love. But I honestly have no clue. What I do know is that it can be looked at as a real response, because, teenagers will do dumb things. The relationship has its times of ups and downs, mostly ups, with it centring around school outings and experience. One or two downs due to teenage struggles. I think it had a real take on the situation of young love quite like something you don't see too often in animanga. It genuinely makes for a really simplistic but absorbing experience to follow up upon because you want to see how it plays out and how nice it is at the end. a b c "Ōya-san wa Shishunki!

Character 7/10: I felt like the characters were kinda like the ones from Lovely Complex? I like the whole taller thing but it felt familiar... Some stories don't get this attention, however. I have seen some hidden gems out there that would probably get the same amount of appreciation on a larger scale, as the stories I have mentioned above. But considering that is not the case, they end up being on the quieter end of the scale with a few people who will praise this indefinitely. But the similarities are there. No matter how large or small something is, most simple things tend to get the better of us. For good reason and good intention too.Characters: 7/10 - I enjoyed Fujiyama more than I did Kanba, especially in the beginning and mid sections of the manga. Kanba is pretty perverted and goes and starts this whole ordeal thinking with his libido, but it actually ends up well. Fujiyama is a pretty shy character who gets embarrassed easily but you can't blame her because she has always been teased her whole life about her height. I will say though, the way that the author wrote their characters ties in with the story really well, it made more sense of why the characters acted because they are in middle school. The way that they act fits really well with the age that they are supposed to be. So even if male MC isn't the best, he really fits in with his age group so kudos to the writer. The side characters were good and all but I couldn't tell you their names except vice-principle Also the Nurse is great for various reasons. Absolutely adorable. At first it didn't totally grip me because of the artstyle (I didn't dig it for a few chapters) but it was super cozy and I read it all in one go. Overall it's nice to look at. But their relationship is more like someone's delusions of what a relationship would be like and our MC has no interesting opinions of his own so that everyone can self insert, our love-interest has no personality so everyone can project one onto her. There's no conflict. There's no tension. There's no development. It's just nice and wholesome. liking it more. The setpieces are REALLY good though (I took quite a few screenshots here and there).

Story is nothing special, just a cute slice of life of two middle schoolers going about their lives. Fujiyama's Adolescence's story is pretty much null. There is zero viable story to actually speak of with this manga, which leads to the question of, "what does it do with the characters then?". Before that, something I do want to say is that when I say it has "zero viable story", I mean in the same sense people would describe s.o.l plots. Though, to some extent, I would say that this story takes that too extreme because the "plot" is forever changing and it is really just the development of a relationship. Ooya-san wa Shishunki!

The winter scenes in the house of Fujiyama’s grandmother stood out for me – it felt as if you could smell and touch the things in this warm older lady’s home, with its carefully kept old things in covers, neat mementos on shelves, stale candy and, of course, festive cooking. A year goes by, scenes change in small beautiful vignettes, mundane life distilled and turned by the author’s love and effort in eternal moments – a shrine in autumn covered in gingko leaves, a neingbourhood city’s summertime empty library, a schooltrip to Kyoto, city streets gone empty because of a typhoon. Usually it’s about Fujiyama, her family, while she herself is a quietly shining presence, and the main character, who we follow, enters her life and learns about her through this life, carried in by his love and sudden admiration and desire. I had to constantly remind myself these were middle schoolers because the "romance" was mild but it's infinitely better this way. These are 14-15 year old kids, no one would expect more than handholding and awkwardness from them. That aspect is perfectly represented throughout the manga.
