Oh boy! Okay, I REALLY loved this one a lot! I really enjoyed watching Ichigo realize her feelings for her senpai, Yaya, is more than superficial and how much she actually is getting to know the real Yaya over the course of volume one. It felt like character growth and by the end of the manga I was looking forward to the next installments.

Yaya can be a bit overwhelming and seemingly overbearing, but I started to see a girl who has been placed way too high on a pedestal by her peers/authority figures in her life and that she is suffering! I can see the dynamic building between them where Ichigo is reassuring and strengthening Yaya's confidence and self love slowly (or at least, that is my hope for this manga seires!) over time.

Not a lot of plot seemed to really develop in this installment, more-so I felt like we, as the readers/audience, were getting to know Yaya and Ichigo and build up to the plot- which feels slow story-wise and can turn off a lot of readers. I hope the next installment will actually pick up more plot/story wise!

Hinamori Ichigo has a crush on the honors student Suou Yaya and is surprised when Yaya turns out to be much different from her expectations. What started out as an awkward meeting turns into an unexpected friendship between the two.

I have to say, what initially drew me in was the artwork. And it definitely didn't disappoint. The artwork is right up my alley, as the chibi arts are so cute!! The plotline and contrasting characters are also very likeable. The plot moves at a good pace, as it shows the development of their friendship. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

I personally didn’t enjoy this one as much as I thought I would. This is more of a slice-of-life manga, but the situations the characters found themselves in were a bit boring. The relationship between the 2 MCs wasn’t engaging either, and I didn’t feel for either of them. It’s a cute manga, but doesn’t really have much else going for it. If you like cute manga where you have a cute but helpless female and the slice-of-life genre, then I’d recommend this. Personally, I will not be continuing with the series.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kodansha Comics for the opportunity to read and review this manga. I think in this instance, I think I am just too old to truly enjoy this story. The main character is too childish, the plot is pointless, and if there's a friendship/relationship aspect, it is immature. The artstyle though and the story is more appropriate for middle and beginning high school. Because of these points, I have to give this  4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this manga

This started as a cute read but after 60 pages I wasn't invested in the story nor the characters, but it was a story about being needed but to me it was just unusual really.

I think I was the wrong audience for this book but I can see others loving this book

-3.5/4 star
So this is my first yuri read. Honestly, I had put this one off for a bit and I really don't know what I was expecting from this read but it was different than what I had imagined- not in a bad way though. Unlike the other title I tried, this one was easy for me to get into and it had some funny moments. I will be honest the last one I tried to read I don’t think I even made it past 5 pages (so I don't count it as my first).

The art and characters’ personalities work perfectly for this. My favorite part is definitely what Suo does when she is jealous that Hinamori is giving a cat all her attention. Hinamori seems to be oblivious of her real feelings for Suo and it is funny how her friend basically calls her a stalker and she denies it. It will be interesting to see where things go moving forward, but I hope the comedy part sticks around. 

Suo is a second year and top honors student and admired by everyone- including Hinamori. She seems perfect; however, one day Hinamori discovers Suo’s true self. After pampering her a little, Suo continues to want Hinamori’s attention which throws Hinamori off a bit but she still gives into Suo’s behaviors.

Girl realizes she has a praise kink and a pet kink and drags the girl who has a crush on her into it too. V sweet, flirty yuri manga

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san! is a hilarious yuri rom-com manga starring a cool and collected upperclassman, Yaya Suo admired by all her fellow students and her underclassman, Ichigo Hinamori, who desires to overcome her childish ways and appearance after having been turned down by her crush. When these two meet, it turns out that Ichigo is by far the more mature of the two and Yaya wants nothing more than to be spoiled and praised by someone who sees her for who she truly is.

The manga overall was very cute and I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say that it blew me out of the water per se.

That being said, I would still recommend this to anyone looking for a light-hearted quirky yuri rom-com.

I want to thank NETGALLEY for letting me read this.

I didn't enjoy this manga not one bit. The characters weren't appealing to me and not something I wouldn't pick up this manga and buy. I do there was more personality to both of beside someone like one person and other person having a kink ( it's okay to have one ) and need some to feed them to make them feel better. This wasn't what i was expecting to read i wanted alot more as the story went on and processed.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC.

This was fine. It had cute moments, but it wasn’t really for me. I just felt parts were too over the top.

I got an ARC of this book.

This was goofy and amusing. It was not a series I would spend a lot of time tracking down, but it was a fun twenty minute read. The art was pretty standard. I did snort a few times near the beginning, but Yaya's tantrums got less amusing as they went on for me.

If you are looking for a goofy yuri read, then this is pretty fun. It is similar to Komi Can't Communicate, but a bit more absurd.

I just couldn't seem to get into this one.

I think the idea of a uptight, can't let anyone see who I really am, girl who comes out as truly a weirdo can be a really fun concept. The problem is neither character is really doing much for me. Their connection feels more like just for a sketch comedy segment instead of actual people. I will say though the art is solid, but that's about all this one did for me sadly.

Thank you to NetGalley, tsuke, and the publisher for this advanced copy!

"Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san!" is a GL manga about two high school girls, Hinamori and Suo. The former once confessed her feelings to the latter, but was promptly rejected due to her not being serious and studious like Suo is. After working hard to change herself, Hinamori finds out that Suo is not what she seems!

I loved the art style in this one. Even though the plot is overdone and very predictable, there is still enjoyment to be had here and I would be more than happy to read the next volume!

Having a crush on the honor student senpai, only to realize that she's privately the total opposite from the public picture and only wants to be spoiled. It's cute and the art ist good, not really outstanding though

this was a cute and sweet slice-of-life yuri. a little over-the-top even by manga standards but i still thought the main couple was cute

This manga was super cute and light-hearted! Its a typical plot for slice of life mangas, but its refreshing that the female lead has already admitted to liking girls instead of being clueless about her feelings.

It's an ok enough comedic sch00l slice of life type of manga. Nothing really out of the ordinary regarding the "plot" of each chapter or the art style, everything is very common to this type of manga. I did like the little variations it has though. Like having Hinamori state clearly since the beggining that she likes girls and has already had crushes before instead of having the typical clueless, new at everything protagonist. I also like the fact that Hinamori is not int love with the senpai (yet lol) and that despite idolizing her she get's annoyed with her antics because boy is she annoying right now. I'm fully expecting the senpai to go through some character growth before she fully rizzes Hinamori.

"Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san" is a light and entertaining read that follows Ichigo, a girl with a big crush on the "perfect" girl at her school, Yaya Sou But when she finally meets her, Ichigo realizes that Yaya isn't as perfect as she seems; she's clumsier and more sensitive than expected.

What caught my attention was the role reversal in the characters' personalities. Instead of the typical tall, serious girl and the cute, short one, the roles are flipped. It's not something you see often, but I found it interesting.

It reminded me a bit of "Gambare! Nakamura-kun", with its mix of comedy and awkward moments. However, in this case, Yaya, the love interest, is the one who often ends up being an awkward mess in front of ichigo. There are a few moments that felt a bit odd, but they don't take away from the overall enjoyment. The characters get to know each other more with each chapter, which makes for a pleasant pace.

The art is simple but cute, and it fits the light tone of the story well. If you're looking for something easy to read and uncomplicated, this manga could be a good option. Plus, it's nice to see more yuri manga being translated
