Resumen
Aizawa Haruki, 16 years old, is in his 2nd year of high school, and likes to live efficiently. One day during summer vacation, a girl, Aizawa Himari, suddenly appears, calling him 'Onii-chan' and claiming that she's his little sister. As it turns out, Haruki's father recently remarried, and his new wife brought a daughter with her. However, since both of their parents are overseas, it'll only be the two of them living under the same roof. And for some reason, Himari seems very obstinate about spending as much time with Haruki as she can.

TL;DR - Not worth finishing. Also, it got axed, so definitely not worth starting.

STORY (3/10)
The main character, Haruki, is a lazy dude who just likes chilling and playing games. Suddenly, he's suddenly introduced to his new stepsister from his father's remarriage. He's left with no choice but to take care of his new little sister, who is devoted to having fun times with her new big bro.

It's a decent slice of life, but it doesn't have the "oomph" to it that other good manga have. In fact, it seems dedicated to only using stereotypes, and even enforcing them to a certain extent. Sudden appearances, misunderstandings, violent childhood friends, love triangles, a festival chapter - you've seen these before, and they're nothing new.

Well, there is one difference. Himari no Mawari still hasn't decided what it's about, which relationship it's going to explore, etc. There is zero plot progression whatsoever.

Some of the stylistic elements are identical to those in Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai.
The chapters of Kaguya-sama generally look like this:
Chapter 24: Yuu Ishigami Wants To Survive
The chapters of Himari no Mawari are formatted in the same way:
Chapter 8: Himari Wants To Go Shopping

I'm pretty sure that's plagiarism.

ART (8/10)
It's very crisp and nice to look at. The author really knows how to capture expressions and draw cute characters. I just wish that talent would go to an actually decent story.

CHARACTER (6/10)
The characters are shallow. The main character likes to stay home and eat cup ramen. The sister is happy, naive, and blissfully stubborn. She exists for the sole reason of being cute. The childhood friend is adamant about not being called a friend of the mc and her only defining trait is that she fell in love with the sister after a few days of her arrival. The classmates are either weirdos or assholes and the class president is so forgettable that I almost forgot to include her in this review. So far my favorite character is Suzuka, and she's only been in one chapter.

At this point, I usually make a joke that overanalyzes each character to the point where they seem to be well-defined and serving great purpose. But the problem with Himari no Mawari that each one is so bland that I can't even go there. It's impossible to see them for anything other than their defining roles.

ENJOYMENT (4/10)
I'm not really sure why I didn't like this series. Usually, I enjoy a straightforwardly fun little manga. Maybe it's the pure lack of effort put into this manga that irks me. Or perhaps it's the fact that literally every character is so irrelevant that I can't remember any of their names.
The humor is not bad. If only the other elements of the story weren't so lackluster, the manga might actually have been funny.
