What is this?
This project is a fan dub and motion comic edit dedicated to the romance slice-of-life series ‘Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers’ (’Hitomi-chan wa Hitomishiri’) written and illustrated by Natsumi, Chorisuke. **This specific project will mainly focus on giving the main characters (Hitomi and Yuu) voices of their own years after the manga’s initial publication. The plan is to dub over 4-5 of the first few chapters of the manga. Manga panels from the series will be edited into a motion comic format with the plan to animate several panels and actions.
If you’re unfamiliar with the series ‘Hitomi-chan Is Shy With Strangers’ I’ll give you a quick rundown. The series focuses on the main character Hitomi Takano, she’s a first-year student who struggles socially due to her intimidating appearance and overall lack of social skills. She then meets Usami Yuu, an upperclassman to her who decides to help and befriend Hitomi. Together, Hitomi learns to overcome her social anxiety and slowly shows more and more people in her school just how much of a sweet girl she is. As the both of them get to know each other more and more as the series progresses, they grow close — so close that they may start becoming more than “just friends”.
This is strictly a passion project dedicated to the series. There will never be plans to profit from this project. This also means that it is unpaid as well. I’m very sorry to those who’ve come here expecting payment for their skills.

Final Thoughts
I’ve been a big fan of this series and I’ve always wondered when there would be a day where many other fans and I would see Hitomi and Yuu speak and move onscreen. And one day, I figured that I would take matters into my own hands; Utilizing my own editing skills and knowledge of directing. I felt the need that now was a good time to put together something that a community of fans can hold high for the manga we love. Especially with the soon-coming release of the 100th chapter of the manga. If you’ve read this far, thanks. I appreciate it. I hope to work with you soon.
