Hinamatsuri is a story written by Otake Masao and has been serialized in Harta since 2010. It was long-awaited and made into an anime in April 2018. It is a sci-fi comedy that depicts the hectic daily lives of an intellectual yakuza and a psychic girl who suddenly appears in his house one day, and is sometimes tearful. In this article, we will introduce the main characters of Hinamatsuri, Hina and Nitta.
Nitta and Hina: Their First Encounter
One day, while the intellectual yakuza Nitta was at home auctioning and browsing his hobby pots, a mysterious object fell on his head. Inside the object was a mysterious girl. Thinking it was a mistake, Nitta left it for a day, but by morning the object hadn't disappeared. The moment he finally spoke to the girl and freed her from the mysterious suit, Nitta's life took a dramatic turn.
Threatened into living together
The mysterious girl, named Hina, is a psychic who uses her powers to destroy Nitta's pressure points. When asked who she is, she only reveals her name and that she is a psychic. Nitta gets angry and tries to kick her out, telling her to leave, but she uses her psychic powers to try and destroy one of his jars, and when she takes the jar hostage, he has no choice but to let her stay. It's the moment when a yakuza is blackmailed by a young girl.
Nitta is such a nice guy
Although Nitta reluctantly leaves her in her room, she naturally takes care of everything from preparing meals and cleaning up to shopping. Nitta's parents and sister were sloppy in the past, so he's gotten into the habit of taking care of all the household chores. He has skills that are hard to believe come from a self-employed person with a reputation for being a tough guy.
Hina also acknowledges Nitta in her own way.
In Hina's original home, it seems that it was common for her abilities to be treated as tools. Nitta also borrows her abilities once. However, unlike the adults she's known, Nitta pays her dues for her work and doesn't misuse them. Hina is a little surprised, and begins to respect Nitta.
And so begins the fictional parent-child relationship
They become fictional parent-child in order to accommodate Hina's selfish desire to go to school. From then on, he introduces her to others as his daughter. However, Hina doesn't really understand the relationship between them, and when others ask her about something, she just repeats what Nitta tells her, causing embarrassment.
The Amazing Power of Nitta's Education
Nitta is constantly at a loss with Hina, who has no common sense. He tells Hina what's wrong when she's wrong, and when he needs to scold her, he does so properly. Sometimes he even disowns her. But no matter what, he always does it with Hina's best interests in mind, and in the end, the bond between the two of them often deepens, and viewers are unexpectedly moved by it.
They have a good relationship after all
Thanks to Nitta's education as mentioned above, Hina gradually acquires common sense and strives to do things for Nitta. Although he ends up relying on Hina a lot in the end, she has grown a lot since they first met, and Nitta rewards her by giving her his favorite food, salmon roe.
But what are Nitta's true feelings?
Hina suddenly says goodbye to Nitta and says she has to return to where she came from. At the time, it was a wonderful story that was very moving and impossible to watch without crying, depicting Nitta's kindness as he did all sorts of things for Hina as a final memory... but, as is typical of comedy manga, when Hina excitedly returned to Nitta, thinking that everything was okay after all, what she saw was Nitta, overjoyed that she was gone (lol). Their life together is not over yet!
Summary: The best parents and children!
A daughter who's too useless and a father who's too responsible (lol). From the viewer's perspective, this relationship between the two is heartwarming and comforting. It's an unusual pairing of an intellectual yakuza and a psychic girl, but it's portrayed so well, so if you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out! Be sure to check out Hinamatsuri, which is full of laughter and the occasional tearjerker.
