In the pantheon of Japanese light novels, the spread of literature featuring a "nice guy" protagonist whom happens upon the most serendipitously impractical life-scenario is staggering. Some titles are too saccharine for their own good, whereas other titles try a little too hard to teach their readers a lesson. HIGEHIRO v1, for its part, works up a modest attempt at exposing the everyday vulnerabilities of social urbanites who think they have everything under control.
The protagonist (Yoshida) is lovesick and lonely. The homeless high-school girl he pulls off the street (Sayu) is melancholic and lonely. One of the protagonist's coworkers (Hashimoto) is pleasantly miserable in his loneliness, whereas another coworker (Mishima) is haplessly exuberant with her loneliness. And another character (Gotou), in spite of her outward-facing confidence is lonely and apprehensive. HIGEHIRO: AFTER BEING REJECTED, I SHAVED AND TOOK IN A HIGH SCHOOL RUNAWAY v1 is a novel about people whose myriad social contrivances bend over backward to hide their sorrows, their regrets, their ambivalences, and their uncertainties.
The novel's narrative hook is less about the awkward humor of a 26-year-old office drone taking in a runaway 16- or 17-year-old girl than it is the presumption that either character has something to teach the other about life's joys, pains, and all of the gray areas in-between. Interestingly, it's as if the author has given readers the premise, the hook, and the conclusion all at once. It's the sinew in-between the story beats that gives this novel its heft.
Readers don't know why Sayu ran away from home. But readers do know her circumstances were traumatic enough such that the girl has been on her own for over six months, brazenly house-hopping and selling her body for food and shelter. Still, questions linger. Sayu is shrewd, but is that because no one's has ever shown her unconditional love?
Readers don't know why Yoshida is so doggedly persistent in the way he finesses each conversation with adult-laden pragmatism. But readers frequently witness his aversion to flirting, his inability to brag, and his occasional, willful dereliction of contemporary chauvinism. Still, questions linger. Yoshida is pretentious, but is that because his recent heartbreak is too large of a roadblock to circumnavigate?
HIGEHIRO v1 carries the usual, gaudy, male-gaze narrative tropes (e.g., pondering bust size, peeping panty color, yamato nadeshiko traits), but on occasion, it makes a few earnest strides at something more. For example, Gotou, Yoshida's love interest, is frequently heralded for her kind, almost motherly intuition. She's Yoshida's boss at work, is a couple years older than the protagonist, and is regularly lauded for her steadfast primness and maturity. Except, the woman hates the presumption that she's supposed to eat a salad for lunch every day, the presumption that she can't bask in the heat of yakiniku, or the presumption that she can't hold her liquor like the guys. She defies these expectations, slowly and measurably. That the protagonist doesn't realize Gotou is also slowly and measurably slipping away from his presumption of the ideal woman is a clever and understated secondary theme of the novel.
The amount of substantive dialogue about the issues beneath the surface will surely leave some readers wanting more. Sayu has nightmares about being abused by her handlers, but readers aren't offered much context. Mishima's obsession with doing just enough work to get by, to get what she wants, and to keep what she wants, makes her cleverer than she ought to be, making her, by extension, a caricature. And Hashimoto, an office pal, constantly complains about his wife (each complaint of which, is praised by the perpetually single Yoshida). HIGEHIRO v1 exposes one or two countervailing facets of every character in this first volume. Whether the author will make good on each particularity as the story evolves will be a curious puzzle to solve.

全靠插畫老師撐，輕小作者可以考慮打開文檔前先去浴室沖涼十分鐘。
明明是滿含深意可以寫出很多有意思內容的神待ち題材，最後呈現方式是這樣只能說看起來作者平時工作壓力是太大了。

it took me a long time but finally I finished it, yeay!
the story is pretty simple, the amount of character is also not that many. but feels like every characters here got their own time pretty well, not kind of too much or too less.
Yoshida is pretty much like us, people who doing job every single day and then got home late night.
The appearance of Sayu is pretty much is like our imaginary what if we got someone at home who willingly to do chores but doesn't ask much about things. But since Sayu is described as a High School girl, she kind of got different way of thinking compared to adult people like how Sayu is pretty much like any other teenager.
I'd like to read more the conversation between Yoshida and Sayu, but the drama seems won't end after Mishima knowing the 'fact'.
Looking forward to read the next volume!

Una divertida novela ligera romántica que hace poco estrenó animé. Es interesante cómo desde lo popular construye una imagen sobre distintos aspectos de la sociedad japonesa (trabajo, pareja, familia) y en cierta forma dialoga desde un lugar opuesto con La dependienta, de Sayaka Murata.

Another case of ‘Don’t judge a light novel by its rambling title’. Surprisingly sweet and wholesome.

เรื่องนี้เป็นเรื่องที่คนอ่านไม่ชอบจนหยุดอ่านไม่ได้ก็คงเกลียดไปเลย เพราะคนเขียนมีความกล้าที่จะเขียนเซตติ้งขึ้นบนเส้นแบ่งศีลธรรมของการที่พระเอกซึ่งเป็นพนักงานออฟฟิศอายุ 26 ให้ที่พักพิงกับนางเอกซึ่งเป็นเด็กสาวมอปลายอายุ 17 ผู้หนีออกจากบ้าน ตัวผมเองอยู่ในฝั่งที่ชอบ เอาจริงๆเห็นชื่อเรื่องครั้งแรกผมก็ไม่รู้สึกว่ามันน่าอ่านหรอก จนกระทั่งได้ดูอนิเมะเรื่องนี้แล้วประทับใจมาก แต่รู้สึกว่ามันค่อนข้างรวบรัดห้วนๆผมเลยหานิยายมาอ่านต่อ จุดขายของเรื่องนี้คือฉากดราม่าที่ทำได้ดี ฟีลกู้ด และอบอุ่นหัวใจสุดๆ ที่สำคัญเคมีระหว่างพระ-นางคือที่สุดของเรื่องนี้ เป็นความสัมพันธ์ประหลาดที่เหมือนทั้งพ่อ-ลูกสาวในบางครั้ง, พี่ชาย-น้องสาวในบางเวลา และเหมือนคนรักในบางที เป็นความสัมพันธ์แบบที่ไม่ต้องนิยามก็ได้ว่ามันคืออะไร แค่คนสองคนอยู่ด้วยกันแล้วสบายใจ เป็นไหล่พักพิงให้กันและกัน ซึ่งจุดนี้เป็นจุดที่ทำให้อยากอ่านต่อไปเรื่อยๆไม่อยากให้นิยายเรื่องนี้จบลงเลย แม้ว่าจะรู้เนื้อเรื่องจากอนิเมะแล้วผมก็ยังรู้สึกว่ามันอ่านสนุกอยู่ดี

A rom-com light novel. I finished it in some hours . I like it :D

My friend accidentally bought the manga version of this book instead of the light novel one since it was in Japanese and he didn't understand the language. It was a really nice light read though, I didn't expect to get really into it. The anime didn't exactly live up to the manga but both were good nonetheless. I'd recommend this to anyone who is just getting into manga.

#1 เล่มแรกจั่วปมหนักทิ้งไว้เล่นต่อได้อีกยาว ประเด็นมันดิบจริงจนสาหัส แต่ระหว่างอ่านกลับรู้สึกอบอุ่นหัวใจ สื่อออกมาอย่างเรียบง่ายผ่านชีวิตประจำวันที่ตัวละครทั้งคู่กำลังค่อย ๆ เรียนรู้กันและกัน อ่านจบถือว่าผู้แต่งประสบความสำเร็จในการทำให้เรารักเคมีร่วมกันของซายุจังและโยชิดะซัง

除了將蹺家JK撿回家的發展很奇幻以外
女主角的性格感覺也和境遇對不太起來
具體來說，
無視這點的話這本還可以

好想加上fantasy以及crime的tag
