Have you heard of the currently very popular light novel "Ore wo Suki na wa Omae dake ka yo"? At first glance, it seems like a standard romantic comedy, but it's actually completely different. It's a popular work that is set to be adapted into an anime this fall! All of the characters that appear are unique. In this article, we'll be introducing one of the characters that appears in "Ore wo Suki na wa Omae dake ka yo", Himawari (Hinata Aoi, commonly known as Himawari). Himawari, the ace of the tennis club, is a cute and innocent girl! And what evil deeds has she committed? Let's take a look.
Himawari liked San-chan, but...
First of all, Himawari really liked San-chan (Oga Taiyo). So she asked Joro (Kisaragi Amero) for help so that her love would come to fruition. Himawari was a total wreck in front of the person she liked, but thanks to Joro's careful consideration, they managed to talk amicably and develop a relationship to the point where they could go out on weekends.
But! San-chan's feelings are...
However, San-chan has someone else she likes. And that person is Pansy (Sanshikiin Sumireko). Joro knew this because San-chan had told him, but he couldn't bring himself to tell Himawari. Because he knew that Himawari was serious.

But then something happens. San-chan tells him directly that the person he likes is Pansy. He adds that he's already talked to Joro about it and gotten advice from him. Himawari is also pretty angry about this. "Why didn't you tell me?!" "Whose side are you on?!" Of course there are a lot of things to think about.
Joro's argument doesn't go through
But it's all for Himawari's sake. But Joro's argument doesn't go through at all. Moreover, Himawari doesn't listen to Joro at all, but instead calls him the worst kind of person and leaves the place. This is a bit too much. Even though they're childhood friends, Himawari may only think of Joro as a useful friend.
Himawari's shock and bullying
From here on, it gets tough. The usual bullying begins. When Cosmos, San-chan, and the three of them visit the library to support San-chan's love, they find Joro and Pansy there. There was a big fuss because Joro, who said he wanted to be alone during lunch break, was with Pansy and because Joro knew how San-chan felt. No one listened to what Joro had to say and the fuss continued, and Joro finally got angry. However, it also came to light that Joro had told Oga-kun and Pansy to get together, which was also a shock.
Abandoning Joro
Himawari was also shocked by this and decided to abandon Joro completely. In fact, Joro had his own reasons, but at the moment no one is willing to listen. When she told them, "I thought you were a nicer person," no one listened to the story of Joro being hit by San-chan and they left the place. Joro was left alone in the bathroom. This is where the bullying began.
Himawari after the misunderstanding about the bullying is cleared up
In the end, San-chan was the mastermind behind the bullying. Pansy easily found out, and Joro scolded her, telling her to "apologise to the two of them", so San-chan let it all out in homeroom. As a result, the bullying in the school was resolved, but somehow the relationship between Himawari Cosmos and Joro remained awkward.
What happened to Himawari afterwards
After finding out that Joro had sacrificed himself to protect them, Himawari went to the homes of each and every student to apologize, and even announced in the school newspaper that the incident with Joro was a misunderstanding. Himawari's initiative is incredible. Perhaps she was trying to repay Joro in her own way. Up until now, Himawari has seemed to be using Joro more than anything else. If you say that she only thinks of him as a convenient tool, there's a part of her that can't be helped. But at this time, she was desperate.
Until Himawari makes up
Also, since Himawari found out that she had been bothering Joro, she consciously tried to distance herself from him. However, her true self is Joro's childhood friend and wants to be friends with him again. When her feelings won out, she had a serious talk with Joro and succeeded in making up. From this point on, she became a real friend, not just a convenient friend. After this, Joro also made up with Cosmos and somehow managed to restore peace. In fact, in this series, a new character, a transfer student who appears in volume 2, plays a major role! This is something you should definitely see. Of course, Pansy is also consistently great.
Summary of Himawari's evil deeds!
That's all for the evil deeds of Himawari, a character from [Are You Really the Only One Who Likes Me?]! It may not be a crime... but the scene where Himawari and Cosmos gave up on Joro was quite shocking. In fact, this scene shocked quite a few readers, with comments like "They've been taking care of us so much up until now!?" and "Cosmos and Himawari are such trash..." It's true that the two of them do have a tendency to not listen to others, but they were completely fooled by Sun-chan... I'm really glad that Pansy was there. But it's also amazing that they visit each and every student's home. In reality, Himawari is probably a kind and good girl. The bullying was a pretty heavy development, but it's good that it was resolved and they made amends. I wonder how this scene will be portrayed in the anime, which is scheduled to air from this autumn. I'm already looking forward to it!
