Thank you Netgalley for this ARC. However, I do not think this manga was for me. Although the main trope/idea of high school sapphic girls is cute, the plot did not really work with me, and one character was too stereotypically constructed as the "damsel in distress", and it did feel a bit too flat for my taste. Not my cup of tea, but I am sure it could be a very cutesy read for younger public!

I was NOT a fan of this at all. It feels like age play fetishism, and I'm just not comfortable with that happening with teenage girls. Also Suo was forcing her fetish onto Ichigo a lot of the time, because she was not into it.

Suo was also just REALLY annoying.

This was so cute!

Ichigo has a crush on Suou, the top student in their class. Suou seems like the perfect girl to everyone else in their school and Ichigo is always wanting to share her feelings. One day she sees Suou without her perfect mask - she's burnt out from the studying and the personality she has to maintain and all she wants is to be praised for her hard work! Ichigo ends up in over her head having to praise Suou, but she may end up liking it after all.

Very funny and wholesome! I will definitely continue this series!

1.75 - round up
Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to read this as an arc. I love Yuri, so I was excited, but was cliché, and not in a good sense. The characters are flat and one-dimensional, the story is kind of boring, and I almost DNF'ed it.
It could have been cute and good, a top student who needs someone to help her in secret because her public persona is too much, but come on, she is just childish, and not like in a way to cope, and weird. Acting like a cat and licking her? Wtf? Asking her to lick your blood? And it was not even in a sexy way ugh.

This is one of those WTF books. You have the schools highest honor student Sanpai and a random girl who is crushing on the best student. But the best student is extremely needy. She needs someone to pet her and love her. This book is like reading a semi sexual, not quite bondage, but definitely play of the Master variety. The best student needs special moments with this other girl and chances to be praised. Chances to be spoiled. There’s even a section that deals with licking an hour. It’s just weird. I would rather it had been a sexual graphic novel instead of this weird half way point with high school girls. The best thing I can say for the story is while the girls seem very developed, they’re completely covered. Maybe I need a second volume, but I’m not sure I’d pick it up and read it if I did.

This was mostly cute but a little bit boring at times. But not so boring I don't want to continue reading it in the future. 0

There wasn’t anything I particularly disliked about this manga, but there also wasn’t anything that I really enjoyed. The characters and plot were okay, but it felt like not enough happened to really hold my interest. I would be open to still reading the next volume in the future though and see if that improved in volume 2.

Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc!
I thought the story was hilariously cute! The art style was fabulous and I cannot wait for more! Thank you again!

A fun and engaging yuri manga that will have you rooting for young love, even if young love can be confusing to those trying to find it! Well drawn with an incredible and funny story, a definite must read for yuri readers!

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.
