Hitomi-chan is Shy With Strangers Vol. 12

A romantic comedy about an intimidating high school girl who just needs help opening up. Tall, busty high schooler Takano Hitomi has shark teeth, a looming presence, and a truly terrifying face. As an upperclassman named Usami Yuu finds out, however, looks can be deceiving. Beneath her massive frame and intense glare, Hitomi-chan is a sweet girl who wants to overcome social anxiety and make friends. In this final volume of Chorisuke Natsumi's Hitomi-chan is Shy With Strangers, the duo grows closer—maybe friendship won’t be enough. The series blends sharp humor with heartfelt moments as Yuu guides Hitomi toward trust, vulnerability, and romance. Lush panels, expressive character work, and a warm, hopeful ending cap Hitomi-chan's shy-to-spark journey. A satisfying conclusion for fans of romcom duos who prove that gentleness can conquer fear.
