And then, this wildly cute ride is finally over. There may be a sequel or just a spinoff follow-up (will read it regardless), but here's a small review for this clever little gem. Himouto! Umaru-chan is a Slice of Life manga about a super-active hamste- highschool girl who has very bad life habits inside her house, is a completely obnoxious and very dependant spoiled little brat towards her brother (which is the completely opposite of her in every single aspect)... but who is actually a prodigy with whatever she actually want to do (including being at times quite a bit too manipulative and egoistical for her owngood... yet, interestingly enough, never actually egocentrical at all).

What helps her habit to become a partially healthy one is the fact that she is at least sufficiently responsible with all of her must-do-ings, including school. However this is a bit of a problem for her, who ended up developing multiple personality issues when it comes to interacting with people outside her usual inside house life.

As the story progresses, she starts better building her inner self based on her interactions with many other friends she meets and develops relationships with, all of this while trying to equilibrate and hide her alternative personalities she only uses with exclusive people and/or events ending up making her life a character development crazy ride in all possible ways.

I think the best part of this series isn't just the smart and soft take on the multiple personality issue while using bildungsroman structure of storytelling (she goes changing her egoistical attitudes and trying to handle with these problems progressively better), but the fact it is almost 100% adorable family friendly fun for anyone to read, besides the demographic being for adults.

Not to mention this manga has such a nice cast with every enjoyable interactions and a very colorful light plot (which actually carries some interesting twists here and there as the manga progresses, which in many occasions give certain depth not only for the main cast, but also for some secondary characters as well).

It's a very enjoyable and heartwarming time-killer, would recommend giving it a try at least because of its unusually smart setting besides being so apparently simple at first.

7,8/10
Too many Umarus (just to end up in a "videogame reference" note at that, which this series has plenty of as well)
