Review: Hitting Rewind With You, Vol.1

Hitting Rewind With You 1 by Hanamaru Kira, boy and a girl standing close to each other with the boy doing a hand signalI received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

This one looked cute and I wanted to give it a shot, and I am glad I did. Yes, it started off very sus/cringe (as you can also read in the blurb) with both of them acting like high school students and then finding out (in a hilarious way btw) they are both in college and thus can actually date (Waka’s idea as she just had so much fun with Fumito and didn’t want it to end).

Though, I guess I hadn’t expected them to just go out all the time in school uniforms. I mean, boo, you are 20 years, that is kinda weird. But I guess I will take it. I mean, they (or well Waka the most) have a bucketlist and school uniforms are apparently YOUTH! And well, as the story continues I could understand things a bit better. I mean, it is all your typical shoujo stuff that I also adore. I think if I was Waka and hadn’t had the chance to do so… I would have grabbed the chance as well. Yup. I know, I just said it was cringe, but that was before we got some dokidoki moments and I understood the need for this. I mean, I was also just dying each time that Fumito did something hot. Like during the school festival part and he just casually wiped her mouth and both Waka and I died. Haha.

I loved all the cute moments between them. I found myself shipping them hardcore. I needed these two to get together. And not just on dates with school uniforms. Also without. Because dang the glitter, the sparkle, and the chemistry between these two is off the charts.

Waka is such a character and I loved her. She was sweet, enthusiastic, excitable, and cute. I loved her expressions when she was around Fumito. See her totally fangirl, swoon, die because he is so hot or does something sly/sexy. It was just the cutest. Plus, I love that while most of this is just them going on dates, we also learn about her photography and why she is doing it.

I had another laugh that both of them were going to the same college (he in science/engineering and her in humanities). What are the odds of that? I really liked seeing them in normal clothes.

The art was so fun! I loved how the cute moments are super sparkly and sweet and the hilarious moments are hilarious. I also love the character designs for both the characters + how well it brings out their personalities.

I would recommend this one to everyone. I need more. I want more! Bring me more Fumito x Waka!

Star rating, 5 stars
