A chapter with character development for Hina and then one for Anzu....

I am just impressed how there are so different but so amazingly deep characters in the same manga. Most stories don't even manage one.

Can you really call it character development if she reverts at the end of the chapter?

I'm not sure why but that Chapter 21 really creeped me out up to the dramatic ending.

I want to say that I am a bit disappointed at the deus ex machina way Anzu's arc was resolved, but I'll be damned if I didn't admit that I am happy that everything turned out alright for her :unsmith:

At least it's not being totally forgotten about - Nitta still has nightmares about it in Chapter 23 - http://www.batoto.net/read/_/169095/hinamatsuri_v5_ch23v0_by_no-group/12

Even though Nitta washed and ruined Anzu's transport device, Hina's is still fine as far as I know. Anzu could have gone back at any time if Hina cared enough to think about it. I dunno if that will ever come up, though.

If anything, Hina is probably entirely aware of this fact.

Hina isn't malicious or devious. She is a terrible person, but not in that particular way.

Hina is not exactly known for taking initiative. It's probably due to sheer laziness and apathy that she doesn't mention it to Anzu, rather than maliciousness.

Looks like we got some more prove that Hina and Anzu grew up together.


Maybe Hina will remember that she could have sent Anzu back, once Anzu got used to those Grandparents and wants to live there happily ever after.

And boom, another chapter: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/169163/hinamatsuri_v5_ch24v0_by_no-group

It's great how I was still cracking up at the whole thing despite the joke being revealed around halfway or so.

I also loved how in chapter 23, the two foster parents keep getting crippled with sadness whenever Anzu expresses wonder at stuff like affordable electricity or relays a fact from her former life as a homeless person. It manages to be both :unsmith: and funny as hell at the same time.

They are so incredibly sentimental. I can't imagine they're very good at being Yakuza.

The only remotely competent person they had at being yakuza was Nitta's sister, and they just kicked her out.

Chapter 26, in which nobody takes kidnapping seriously.

Also, interesting bit of continuity: Hina's leg is still in a cast after last chapter.

Now I have to reread the whole series to check, if she ever commented on different food.

Speaking of rereading the entire series, most of the earlier chapters seem to be slightly cleaned up. The translation is still pretty janky, but at least it isn't all in complete pigeon english anymore.

I think he is, yes.

This entire chapter is amazing, probably the best one in the whole series so far. We also get the answer to Hina's second favorite food - Manju!
