Hiyokoi

Hiyokoi (Japanese: ひよ恋) is a shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Moe Yukimaru. It is serialized in Shueisha's monthly shōjo manga magazine Ribon, and had been published into fourteen tankōbon volumes. The name of the series is a pun between "Hiyoko" (ひよこ, which means "chick") and "Koi" (, which means "love").

A twenty-two-minute-long movie based on the manga and produced by Production I.G. was released in the Ribon Summer festival on July 30, 2010. The movie was later released on a DVD along with the Yumeiro Patissiere OVA.

Hiyori Nishiyama is a 15-year-old girl who is extremely short. After being in an accident that caused her bones to stop growing, she starts going to high school as a freshman, along with her best friend Ritsuka. In her class there is a boy whose name is Yuushin Hirose and becomes Hiyori's friend (despite the fact that Hiyori is not very happy with his height or his constant happy attitude). After an accident where her panties were shown to the class, she is consoled by Yuushin and starts liking him, eventually growing closer to him.

An anime adaptation of the manga was announced on April 23, 2010. It aired on three events of Ribon magazine: one in Tokyo (July 30, 2010), another in Osaka (August 6, 2010) and the last one in Nagoya (August 19, 2010). On October 2, 2010, a DVD containing the Hiyokoi OVA and a Yumeiro Patissiere special was released along with the November issue of Ribon. The anime was directed by Naganuma Norihiko, using character designs of Shibata Yuka and produced by Production I.G. The OVA adapts the first two chapters of the manga.
