Hinamatsuri Volume 13

ヒナまつり [Hinamatsuri] #13

by Masao Ohtake, Stephen Kohler (Translator)

The Jadou Association's hired thugs have been sent running back to Western Japan, and the Oudou's hierarchy has managed to avoid complete collapse, thanks to the determined efforts of Hina and Yoshifumi Nitta―aka “The Monster of the Modern Era.”
But things won't stay quiet for long. The next phase of the Jadou's takeover plot is already in motion. To spearhead the offensive, they've sent one of their top lieutenants deep into Oudou territory. His name? Masaki Tsuda. And at his side stands a mysterious young boy. Steel yourself for another wave of earth-shattering yakuza combat in volume 13 of Hinamatsuri!

There's parental relationship turmoil in the Hayashi home; there's a new arrival that threaten the Yakuza balance of power; Hina does introspection, or doesn't she? Anzu broadens her skill base; and the Yakuza's face off! The gloss is slipping off of this series, as the slice-of-life core theme is supplanted for a lot ore drama and... combat! And it doesn't work as well, as the lack of conventional drama is what makes this series so good for me. Where it fails is where the creator continues the extremely slow-burn Espers' character and reality development. A just creeped in Four Star, round-up 8 out of 12 read.

Nitta's rival/counterpart was hilarious. Seeing Nitta be this struggling father-figure the entire series, and now here comes a dude denying fatherhood to be interpreted as a creepy fetish man... that got me! And Anzu's art chapter, seeing her try so hard and have everyone praise her for garbage was hilarious. It's been a few volumes since this series had a real clear standout chapter and this one had two of them!

[Rod Brown]

Hinamatsuri has become a real ensemble series with chapters in this volume devoted to secondary and tertiary characters interacting without the main characters at all. But Hina still gets plenty of time, doing her slice of life thing as usual, but also confronting a new character with psychokinetic powers. How long before she has him hanging out and playing video games with her?

Finally caught up with this manga series, so funny. 10/10 would recommend!

[Saurabh Modi]

There’s some progress in the overall story here, I expect the next few volumes will likely start the endgame of the series. Other than that, great comedy and a lot of laugh out loud scenes.

I had a lot of fun reading this series. This is yet another excellent entry.
