Why should you read this?

For starters, Hina is a type of protagonist we don’t see too often in a ‘single dad’ manga. She’s lazy, greedy, messy, and tactless. Not in a malicious way, though, just self-absorbed and almost completely oblivious to things that don’t directly affect her. Life-and-death mob negotiations taking place? She’s more concerned about the candy dish on the boss’s desk. A gunman takes her class hostage? As long as it doesn’t keep her from getting lunch, no problem.




To quote Serious Frolicking from the seinen thread:

I like how Hina is amazingly stupid, but not in the usual cute way. She is actually sort of a terrible person.

The last panel is amazing as usual. Those two are just too oblivious in their own ways.

That was really depressing at the beginning and then became amazingly heartwarming on the last page. This is a truly great series.

Isn't this child labor??



The number of hours worked by Hitomi at each individual company remains within the permitted limits for child workers. Of course, Hitomi works dozens of jobs at the same time, but none of her employers are responsible for her being such an eager beaver.

Suffering? At this rate she'll be a retired millionaire in her early 30's, while I'll still be paying back student loans.

Given her personality and inability to refuse anything to anyone, she'll be a millionaire in her 30s but she'd have pledged all her wealth and tithed all her income to various charitable organizations and so she'd be forced to keep working as hard as she can, all her life, in order to meet her promises.


On an entirely unrelated point, Hitomi's mother is really, really short.

A new chapter is up. It's good to see Anzu is still doing well at making sure every other character looks like a terrible, selfish person (well, maybe not Hitomi).

I wonder what Hina is up to, being lost on a snowy mountain? I'm going to guess slaughtering small animals with her powers and eating them raw.

The text at the end of the chapter says that next one is an Anzu chapter hell yes

Anzu's great but I'm not sure about the appellation of "ideal daughter". Wouldn't that fit Hitomi better? After all, she's already single-handedly supporting her entire family while being a full-time student at the age of 15. She's also gone to extreme lengths to maintain her father's dignity and avoid causing embarrassment to him.

i'm surprised nitta's first move wasn't to warn him that hina is a soulless monster

To be fair, Hina has improved greatly as a human being since the time-skip.

She was able to hold down a part-time waitressing job and endear herself to the customers in chapter 52 (http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Hinamatsuri/Vol-010-Ch-052--Is-There-Anything-You-Want-?id=262508).

She spent her own money to buy a present for Nitta in Chapter 52.5 (http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Hinamatsuri/Vol-010-Ch-052-005--Hina-s-Feelings?id=310684) i.e. she thought about someone other than herself.

She noticed threats to Nitta's safety and safeguarded him from harm in Chapter 55 (http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Hinamatsuri/Vol-011-Ch-055--Nitta-Yoshifumi--The-Sacrilegious-Brute-of-a-Man-?id=311000).

Chapter 56 showed that she got along well with every clique / group of students in her high school (http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Hinamatsuri/Vol-011-Ch-056--An-Average-Day-in-Teihen-Senior-High?id=311639).

I wanna know who is the "Hayato" that gifted a legendary item to Hitomom and wanted to "make her happy". I hope this plot thread comes into play in a later chapter and we get to see Hitodad and Hayato fighting (in the MMO) for Hitomom's love.

if hitomi was in the world of opm, she'd definitely become some sort of monster due to overworking.

Nah, she'd single-handedly reform and improve the entire operations of the Heroes Association as well as financing all their expenses. She'd also personally take part in hero-ing with her sniper skills. With the Heroes Association under her command, all monsters would be eliminated within a year.

Watch the anime again.

Then, after you are done re-watching the anime, read the manga again.

Rinse and repeat.
