Hima-Ten! Vol. 1 is a rather predictable debut that comes off bland with no surprises

Posted on by Leave a comment

Tenichi Iemori lives for domestic work. He cooks and cleans for his entire family, all while attending high school and working part-time as a house cleaner. But when Himari Yoshino—model, mogul, and makeup company president—starts attending his school, Iemori’s whirlwind of a life gets even more hectic as he’s drawn into Himari’s glitzy orbit.

On Himari’s first day of school, Iemori is tasked with showing her around and keeping her fans in check. But Himari has plans of her own—she wants to soak up all the attention! After a wild day at school, Iemori takes on a new cleaning job at a luxury apartment. He’s shocked to find it so dirty, but he’s even more shocked when he finds out who lives there!
