This manga is a bit off-kilter, even by Japanese standards. Nitta works for the yakuza. He’s young, good at his job, and seen as a rising star by his immediate superiors.
He’s sitting in his apartment one evening, when he's conked on the head by a football-shaped pod about the size of a large suitcase. There's no hole in his ceiling; it just appears out of thin air. Visible through a window on the front of it is the face of a young girl. She asks him to release her by pushing the switch on the back of the pod. He does so--really, who wouldn't?--and finds himself face to face with an expressionless young girl of about grade school age. She has a very direct manner of speaking, as well as formidable telekinetic powers. As Nitta himself admits, “... it … doesn't make any sense.” He winds up calling her Hina, though it's unclear whether it's actually her name, or just something he comes up with.
So the yakuza guy has a pre-teen roommate with a mysterious past and a knack for causing trouble. Needless to say, hijinks ensue.
It's actually a pretty fun book. Nitta slips into a more or less paternal role without losing any of his rough edges. It isn't that having someone to care for changes his essential nature or anything so much as brings out the best qualities that were always there, if that makes any sense.
High point of this volume for me was probably the sequence where a gunman takes Hina’s school class hostage. It certainly didn't play out like I was expecting, and is probably one of my all-time favorite manga sequences set in a school since GTO and Assassination Classroom.
Of course this wouldn't be a viable series without some sort of complications to the basic setup, and one appears at the very end that should make for some interesting times in volume 2. Recommended!

It is somehow terrifying and hilarious to consider leading the life of the main character depicted in this unusual series. Telekinesis and fatherhood are nothing new, but the humor in this first volume truly captures a surreal frame of mind.
The contrived situations are good for a few laughs but deeper thought and character development is not really necessary at this point, as it took only 30 minutes or so to blow through this volume. An impressive number of gags pile up and I can imagine the author milking the set-up for a long time. But will it eventually rely less on humor and more on pathos or character choices? I hope.

What a quirky story Hinamatsuri is!
It was more adult compared to a lot of the manga I read, but it definitely delivered in the humor department, which is what I was hoping for! This was one of the titles I was recommended as part of a video collaboration I did with another YouTube channel and feel it hits a lot of those quirky beats we see in The Way of the Househusband (this one was recommended for it).
Hina has to be one of the most intriguing younger characters I've seen in manga. I feel it's hard to figure her out, but she really does make this story and loved her "dad" and the interactions she has with him. Also seeing him respect her was moving, especially in light of her being taken advantage by others in the past.
Overall, I had a fun time with this one! I would be curious to see where it goes next because I laughed in almost every chapter (except the hostess chapter which I felt slightly uncomfortable with due to the age of one of the other characters).
Fair warning, there is one panel of partial nudity (another surprise for me compared to what I usually read).

This is one of the most off-kilter series I've ever read, and I kind of love it?
Basically it's about a Yakuza, Nitta, who wakes up one day to see a pod on his floor. He kicks it and once it opens up it is revealed to be a little girl named Hina. Hina has a special ability, she can move objects with her mind.
This is very strange. The way characters act, almost going with the flow half the time, is both awkward but funny as hell. I laughed a lot at the faces presented here after a weird or awful situation. The art is great, with some really cool action moments too.
This volume is mostly individual stories ranging from just general Yakuza control, eating sushi, talking down a robber from shooting people, to fishing. Yep, it's all weird, but I want more.
A 4 out of 5.

A yakuza finds himself in the role of single father when a mysterious middle-school girl with supernatural powers literally falls into his life. These opening chapters strike a good balance of humor, warmth, and adventure as he falteringly tries to meet her basic needs while still getting some enforcing done for his boss. Fans of SPY×FAMILY 1 or The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 1 might want to check this out.

This is a delightfully weird and somewhat heartwarming story of a yakuza gangster who gets saddled with a kid. Said kid appears in his living room one day in a weird pod, and she has telekinesis. The rest of the volume is the gangster trying to balance life with having a kid.
It's like Bunny Drop... but way more bizarre. It still has some of the heartfelt father-daughter stuff, but with explosions and gangsters and more slapstick humor.

Really enjoyed it! The comedy was great. I don’t know how the author got inspired to create this, but I’m glad they did! It turned out to be funny and unique. Can’t wait for the next part!

J'avais bien aimé l'anime quand je l'avais croisé y a quelques années de cela, mais la seconde saison n'est jamais sortie, je me tourne donc vers le manga qui est tout aussi drôle.
Je semble pas avoir pas mal tout oublié des personnages et de la narration donc c'est positif pour une relecture, c'est un manga quand même très adulte dans ses thèmes (mais pas dans ses illustrations) donc je ne le recommanderais pas nécessairement très largement: on parle de prise d'otage dans une école, de mafieux et de crime organisé, de bars et d'escortes; et on rit d'un peu de tout ça dans le genre comique du poisson hors de l'eau et non pas au détriment des personnages (ce qui est rafraîchissant) avec un humour noir étrangement très léger et gai.
Le tout donne un comique de situation un peu absurde avec des sujets sérieux traité avec légèreté, mais aussi de bon goût et un peu aperçu du thème de la famille choisie.

Yakuza meets Psychic Girl Adventure
What a strange but often fun story this is. When the incredibly powerful Hina suddenly shows up in the residence of youthful up and coming Yakuza member Nitta from what I can only guess is another dimension his life is changed as he is coerced into a fatherly role. Of course saying that Nitta is not really father material and when Hina gets selfish by wanting to go with him into situations a normal child should avoid we see with the right incentive (see Salmon Roe) she can use her powers to help him with business as usual. Of course the flip side her naivety and lack of concern for Nitta's finances are just as likely to get him in trouble much of the time too. What is a Yakuza to do and who is the new psychic girl showing up toward the end of the volume? Keep reading and find out what chaos is yet to be revealed. :)

Lepas tengok anime-nya, terus start baca manga ni. Sebuah manga bergenre komedi yg betul2 lawak, banyak scenes kelakar sehingga keras perut ketawa. Selain scenes komedi; ada juga scene2 slice of life, warm heart, aksi... boleh dikatakan perfect dan menghiburkanlah manga ni. Lukisannya juga cantik, just abaikan part2 fan service (biasalah, komik Jepun)...
Manga ni mengisahkan tentang Nitta, seorang '3rd rated yakuza' yg terpaksa menjaga seorang budak perempuan dari masa hadapan bernama Hina yg mempunyai kuasa telekinesis. Dia menjadikan Hina sebagai anak angkatnya, dan sejak itu kehidupannya mula berubah.

Rocambolesque
Un mélange d’humour et de science-fiction. Ça se lit d’une traite, ça n’est pas sans rappeler spy x family mais c’est pas la même ambiance au final. Je crois qu’il est d’ailleurs paru avant le phénomène SxF.
Hâte de creuser les personnages secondaires et voir si l’évolution des protagonistes principaux va exploser et me donner envie d’enchaîner avec la suite.
Pour l’instant ça manque d’une trame et d’action concrète. Les épisodes sont hachés sans grande conviction. J’ai bien aimé la prise d’otage en revanche je me suis ennuyée à la pêche.

This is about Nitta who works for the Yakuza, one day a pod arrives in his flat that has a girl called Hina who has telekinesis powers. This is a weird mix of action, food and a newfound parental relationship. It was fun, quirky and pretty awkward at times, I'm curious as to where this story can go as it feels like it might have a short storyline. Some parts were awkward due to the age of Hina and a scene in a hostess club which just felt wrong. But a fun mix of characters and some go with the flow type storylines.

A goofy comedy about a yakuza dude 'adopting' a girl with psychic powers and getting into all sorts of trouble because of her. My enjoyment of this volume was somewhat marred by how much I loved the anime, and already knew where most of the jokes were going, but it was still funny.

This is story of psychic girl and yakuza. Basically, this is a gag strips however, there are few suggestion of serious scene

I loved the anime adaptation. So I am giving this manga a try. The first volume wasn't that good. I hope the manga gets better.

He leído hasta el volumen 10. El manga lo comencé a leer por que termine de ver el anime (que me gustó mucho) y quería saber como continuaba la historia. Ya lo he dicho antes, pero lo vuelvo a decir, me gustan mucho las historias que involucran a un "papá soltero" o a la figura de este y debido a que la sinopsis me hizo pensar que la historia desarrollaría esta tematica decidi verla y posteriormente decidi leer el manga.
La historia a grandes rasgos va de un Yakuza, Nitta, al que un dia le cae una capsula en la cabeza y esa capsula contiene a una niña de aproximadadmente 13 años, pero no es una niña cualquiera, Hina tiene poderes psiquicos y es bastante peligrosa, cosa de la que se da cuenta rápidamente Nitta, por lo que no le queda otro remedio mas que convertirse en su cuidador. Y es asi como vamos leyendo de las aventuras y desventuras de Nitta al lado de Hina y como va evolucionando poco a poco su relación. Para ser sincera siento compasión por Nitta, él es realmente un buen tipo y es de hecho muy buena persona, pero Hina en cambio es una malcriada y no se, me habría gustado que ella evolucionara un poco más como persona.
Hay otros personajes que aparecen a lo largo del manga y del anime que tienen una participación importante en este, por mencionar algunos de los que más me gustaron, son:
Anzu, es otra niña esper o psiquica, que es enviada para que liquide a Hina y que termina quedandose atrapada en Japón y viviendo por su cuenta. Anzu evoluciona mucho através de la historia y la verdad aunque no esperaba nunca que Hina alcanzara el nivel Anzu si esperaba que por lo menos aprendiera de ella algo y no fuera tan inutil. Algunas de las cosas que le ocurrieron a Anzu y su respuesta frente a ciertas situaciones fueron las que me hicieron salir lagrimas en más de una ocasión. Vale la pena aclarar que Anzu y Nitta son mis personajes favoritos.
Hitomi, compañera de clase de Hina y una niña que se ve envuelta en situaciones inverosimiles pero muy divertidas al mismo tiempo que dramaticas (si es que eso tiene sentido). Hitomi no es capaz de decir que no cuando alguien le pide ayuda, es una niña increiblemente talentosa con capacidad de adaptarse a casi cualquier situación, aprende rápido y es eficiente. Pero su eficiencia y su madurez hacen que mucha personas comiencen a depender de ella de forma que termina perdida en el mundo de la adultez a una muy temprana edad.
El manga es bastante entretenido y divertido, me reí mucho leyendo y tambien hubo momentos lo suficiente dramaticos para sacarme una lagrima o para hacerme pensar y replantear la forma en que vemos el mundo, el valor que le damos al dinero y el valor que le damos a las cosas de nuestra vida diaria que en muchas ocasiones simplemente damos por sentadas.

Randomly found this book at the library (one of the new additions to the manga section) but it was quite delightful. A girl in a pod appears in Nitta’s (a member of the yakuza) apartment and uses her powers to force him to let her live there. She really enjoys eating salmon roe and they are learning how to coexist. They have some amusing adventures together, and at the end of the first volume, another one of her kind shows up on Earth. The absurdity of the manga is extremely entertaining, especially Hina’s expressionless face and her idiosyncrasies (acts kind of air headed at times much like a child but has important moments of maturity (like when she saves her class from a man holding them hostage). I might try the anime as well as the rest of the series. 4 stars because of inconsistent graphics

How fun. I don’t know how this got on all those other lists as a relationship-based manga as all the rest are romantic relationships between main characters and while this hints at one with a main character and a side one, it’s more of a reluctant father/daughter relationship with science fiction elements included. I liked it just for that reason. I found it fun, refreshing, and different. I look forward to reading the next one.

The premise is original - take a low-level Yakuza member named Nitta, add Hina, a young girl with an attitude and sometimes-unreliable, but always-destructive telekinetic powers, and you got yourself a story. How can they make it in the violent world of the gang? Will they kill each other or make a killing? Too bad the dialogue is lifeless and the characters are robotic. Nitta has exactly one emotion - a combination of surprise and amazement. Hina is even worse. She is bland and dismissive whether she is watching TV or murdering rival gang members. It's not the most riveting read.

Curioso manga, Hina es una niña con poderes telequinéticos que de una manera que no queda del todo clara aparece en la casa de un miembro de un sindicato yakuza llamado Nitta.
En un principio Nitta quiere deshacerse de Hina, que simplemente pasa de él y se apalanca en su casa a ver la televisión, pero en parte porque empieza a ver las posibilidades de sus poderes y en parte porque le tiene un poco de miedo, termina acostumbrándose a la idea de que la niña se quede a vivir con él.
Es un manga repleto de situaciones cómicas generadas por el trasfondo de los personajes, Nitta es un yakuza acostumbrado a vivir solo, salir de noche y mezclarse con personas de dudosa moral, lo que genera situaciones curiosas cuando Hina empieza a seguirle a todas partes. Por su parte, Hina es una niña que (aunque no se explica la razón se intuye que ha estado aislada del mundo) no ha tenido una vida normal, no ha estado escolarizada y no tiene el comportamiento que se espera de una niña de su edad.
En resumen, un cómic entretenido y ligero, se desarrolla en capítulos que proponen una escena determinada en vez de hacer avanzar la trama, por lo que se puede disfrutar a pequeñas dosis, aunque la verdad es que este tomo en concreto me lo he leído sin darme cuenta.

2.5 stars. Not bad, just not quite my cup of tea; a silly-comedy story about an ambitious yakuza whose life gets turned upside down when a girl with telepathic powers (but no clue of how the world works--from the future? a parallel universe?) appears in his apartment and decides she lives there. Blowing through all his money and giving him a whole range of new headaches, he'd love to get rid of her, but then her powers turn out to be useful for his job.
There's nothing serious about this first volume, and no clear storyline or plot arc, at least not yet--just 'a bunch of things happened'. Everyone just accepts the appearance of this girl without question, assuming she's his daughter, and problems get resolved in wacky ways (I did enjoy the unexpected way the hostage situation played out). It's not quite slapstick humor, but close enough that it didn't catch my interest. Might interest fans of One Punch Man wackiness, but I prefer the plot-driven humour of Spy x Family, or the silly yet oddly plausible humour of The Way of the Househusband.

So, I saw the anime and instead of waiting for the next season I decided to start reading the manga. Still very funny even without the animators and the voice acting. Its one of those surrogate father-daughter stories that have become quite popular in recent years (Logan, Stranger Things, etc) except instead of Eleven having telepathic powers and loving Eggos Hina has telepathic powers and loves salmon roe, and instead of Jim Hopper being a cop with a heart of gold, Nitta is a Yakuza with a heart of mold. Looking forward to reading volume 2 soon... And 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

Our paranormal (possibly alien?) girl is so out of sync with the yakuza guy she's bullied into being her father figure (and, to be fair, the rest of the world) it results in delightful and amusing chaos.

I absolutely loved this. It had me cracking up. Super cute and funny and I'm super excited to read Vol 2.
