Wataten!, originally written by Nanatsu Mukugi, is a four-panel comic serialized in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine since 2017. It's a slightly yuri-esque, slapstick comedy about the everyday lives of a reclusive female college student and elementary school girls. The long-awaited anime adaptation, produced by Doga Kobo, the studio behind Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and Himouto! Umaru-chan, began airing in January 2018, and has been generating a lot of buzz! Here, we'll be ranking the most moving and painful quotes from Wataten! Wataten! A Brief Synopsis
One day in May, almost two months into her college career, the protagonist, Miyako Hoshino, a reclusive and gloomy college student, was lazing around as usual when her fifth-grade sister, Hinata Hoshino, came home. Hinata had brought a friend with her, a beautiful young girl with straight black hair named Shirasaki Hana. The moment she saw the young girl, Miyako was overcome with a feeling she had never experienced before. It was at that very moment that she realized, "An angel had descended upon me." After meeting the girl, Miyako tries every trick in the book to become friends with Hana, but Hana is wary of her. This leads to a hectic daily life that involves her younger sister, Hinata, and her friends.
Famous Quotes Ranking #10: Noa & Hana
"He killed someone!?" (From Episode 6 of the anime)
Noa and Hana come to Hinata's house to play, but Matsumoto arrives first. And when they opened the room, they found Hinata holding a bat and Matsumoto lying on the ground... At the time, Matsumoto and Hinata were not on good terms, so those words were spoken by the two of them, thinking that Hinata had done something to Matsumoto. Of course, it was all just a coincidence—Matsumoto tripped over the bat and Hinata picked it up, but it was a truly amazing moment of coincidence (lol).
Famous Quotes Ranking #9: Hinata
"You're lying! Mya-nee has no friends!" (From Episode 6 of the anime)
These are the words spoken by Hinata, the natural poison with a straightforward personality who can't lie, to the suspicious Matsumoto who shows up claiming to be Mya-nee's friend! That's certainly true...but that's certainly true! (lol) There's no need to say it so directly (lol) Well, Hinata doesn't mean any harm and she's just saying it out of concern for Mya-nee, so let's just say it can't be helped. Even so, it's impressive that a fifth-grader like Meow-nee would say something like that... (lol)
Famous Quotes Ranking #8: Meow-nee
"I'll do my best, big sis!...Starting tomorrow" (from episode 3 of the anime)
That's a line that can only be described as Meow-nee (lol). There's a famous quote like "I'll do it tomorrow, you idiot," but from Meow-nee's perspective, "I'll do it today, you idiot." The children were worried about Mya-nee and worked hard to help her grow, which finally inspired her to become more motivated, and everyone was starting to have a better opinion of her, but this line ruined it... However, I think it's good for her to have her own principles (lol).
Famous Quotes Ranking #7: Noa-chan
"The person I need to surpass is the person I am now!!" (From Episode 2 of the anime)
This line seems very silly in context, as Noa thinks she's the cutest, so she needs to surpass her current self. But it's actually a wonderful example of ambition. (lol) For those who feel inferior to their past selves, this quote is a real eye-opener... (tears) Unfortunately, Noa isn't the best in the world, though. (lol) My fifth-grader taught me that this ambition is something to be emulated...
Famous Quote Ranking #6: Mya-nee
"The fact that Hana-chan is wearing the clothes I was wearing just a moment ago makes me feel like there are infinite possibilities" (from Episode 2 of the anime)
This is truly the best quote ever, and I can only say, "That's Mya-nee, as expected!" (lol) Since it's a cosplay competition, when Hinata dresses Hana-chan in Mya-nee's jersey, Mya-nee gives her an infinity point, not an 8! And she uttered this quote while gushing with excitement! Being able to say this much is a testament to perversion, and I actually admire her! (lol) But still, what exactly does "infinite possibilities" mean...?
Famous Quote Ranking #5: Mya-nee and Several Others
"A shining white, miraculous flower! White Lily!" (Episode 1 of the anime, etc.)
A character from a popular kids' anime in the WataTen world, LilyCure, whose poster is hanging in Mya-nee's room? It's a line uttered by Shiro. It's probably something like Pretty Cure, but it seems to be really popular in the WataTen world, and Noa-chan and Matsumoto-san's sister seem to love the anime too. Mya-nee, 19 years old, was cosplaying as a character from this kids' anime and shouting her catchphrase in her room. But it suits her and she's cute, so we'll forgive her (lol). In the story, other characters besides Mya-nee say this line quite often, so be sure to look for it.
Famous Quote Ranking: 4th Place: Hinata
"Mya-nee's Socially Sulky Temptress!" (From Episode 3 of the anime)
This is what Hinata uttered as she ran away after punching Mya-nee's knee in sulking because Mya-nee was only paying attention to Hana. Hinata... You're right, but you didn't have to say it so bluntly! Mya-nee has it tough too, you know? (lol) I don't know where he learned such a difficult word, but it really hurt Mya-nee and he left her feeling very hurt (lol). They somehow made up and it ended nicely, but this line had a huge impact.
Famous Quote Ranking: 3rd Place: Hinata
"I don't know, but I love Mya-nee the most" (from Episode 3 of the anime)
That's a lot of Hinata quotes... (lol) This is what Hana says when she asks Hinata why she likes Mya-nee so much, even though she worships her like a goddess, even though she thinks she's a weirdo. This is typical of Hinata, and it's super cute. In reality, I don't think there's any real reason for likes or dislikes. I don't know why, but I like what I like, and I think that means I really like it. A girl as honest as Hinata can be either an angel or a devil.
Famous Quote Ranking: 2nd Place: Mya-nee & Hana-chan
Mya: "I'll make sweets for you, Hana-chan, for the rest of my life!"
Hana: "Yes... Thank you very much."
From the end of Volume 2 of the manga
This is a truly great quote, and a fantastic scene. Hana-chan worries that one day, Mya-nee will grow up and live on her own or move far away, and she'll no longer be able to enjoy these sweets. In response, Mya-nee says all sorts of incoherent things, like she'll stay at home forever, but in the end she says the line above. Mya-nee is embarrassed to have said it so accidentally, but Hana-chan responds with a smile of relief and says please... What an emotional final episode, but it's only the second volume. I don't know if it will be shown in the anime, but it's a great moment that I hope will be made into an anime. It's a great moment that shows that the two are slowly changing from a relationship based solely on sweets!
Famous Quote Ranking #1: Mya-nee
"An Angel Flew Down to Me" (from Episode 1 of the anime)
Yes! So, the final line is this one, which is both the title and the very essence of this work! This work begins with an angel named Hana-chan descending upon Mya-nee. It may be a bit predictable, but without this line, this work would be incomplete and wouldn't even begin! (lol) Some of you may have already experienced this, but I hope that an angel will descend upon you as you watch this, and I will wait in eternal anticipation for one to descend upon me one day...
Famous Quotes Ranking!
Because of the style of the work, it's inevitable that there are a lot of funny lines, but even though they are funny, are there some surprisingly profound words... or not? (lol) There are a few too many Poison Hinata quotes, but her innocent words have quite an impact (lol). So, the first place is a very safe choice, but there are still many more great quotes in WataTen! Be sure to check out the famous and strange quotes in the anime and original work.
