Plunderer is a battle fantasy and romantic comedy manga currently being serialized in Monthly Shonen Ace. The story's twists and turns, from a silly, erotic comedy to a sudden, devastating turn of events, or a fantasy world that suddenly turns out to be the end of the century, make it a fascinating work. It also shares some similarities with the previous work, Sora no Otoshimono.
Hina, a young girl traveling in a world ruled by counts.
The residents of the Kingdom of Alcia, where the story takes place, are obligated to "count" something, and that count is imprinted somewhere on their body. In this world, the higher or lower the count, the greater the difference in social status. However, Hina, who lives with her mother in the countryside, has no such knowledge and is traveling for a specific purpose. Hina's count, as her mother calls it, is the "distance walked," and as the count indicates, she has traveled an immense distance.
A Journey to Find the Ace Pilot
Hina's journey began when her mother's count reached zero. When the count reaches zero, she is pulled into the underworld. This phenomenon is commonly known as "Sent to the Abyss." Those sent to the Abyss are dropped into an underground world that has become a post-apocalyptic world due to nuclear war. It is later revealed that this is a form of population control to prevent Alcia's population from reaching saturation. Following her mother's will, which instructed her to search for an ace pilot, Hina continues her journey.
Is she angelic? The gentle and easygoing heroine, "Hina"
Her gentle and kind-hearted personality is not one to suspect others or to hurt others. She is also naive and easily deceived, making her extremely vulnerable and vulnerable. Although she is sexually harassed by Licht, she follows her mother's words and continues her long, arduous journey alone, sometimes showing inner strength when it matters most.
Is this the style of the work? The heroine, Hina, is often sexually harassed.
Perhaps it's the author's hobby, but the protagonist of this work loves sexual harassment, and the heroine, Hina, is often sexually harassed. In fact, many of the female characters in this work are sexually harassed. In particular, the protagonist, Licht, who is known for being a humiliating character, has repeatedly sexually harassed her since her first appearance. Hina, who isn't particularly pushy, lets herself be manipulated, but the punchline is usually that another character punishes her.
Hina's Roles Reverse
After confessing her feelings to Richt, Hina goes from being the one being sexually harassed to the one aggressively pursuing him. However, despite his love for sexual harassment, Richt is actually a wimp who doesn't like being shown affection, and doesn't know how to interact with her, so he starts running away, and Hina finds herself chasing him.
Who is the mother of the mysterious girl, Hina? And her father is...
From her first appearance, she was known only as "Hina," and her last name was never revealed. It was later revealed that her mother's true identity was Tsukina Farrow. She was a leading researcher in harnessing the power of the Parliament. Although she was a researcher from 300 years ago, there are many people in this world who have lived without aging for the past 300 years, so she somehow managed to survive. However, her whereabouts after being sent to the Abyss are unknown up until volume 13 of the manga.
Hina's father is Sakai Tokikaze, the "Instant Ace of Aces"
Hina's father is Sakai Tokikaze, the brother-in-law of Sakai Rihito, also known as Licht. He underwent special surgery during the war 300 years ago. Although he was engaged to her mother, Tsukina Farrow, Tokikaze opposed the decision to use the absolute power of the parliament to detain only the chosen people and abandon the current underground world. As a result, Licht, who had been transformed into a killing weapon by the destructive impulses of Schmelman's genes and drugs, was sent to kill him, and he was supposed to have been killed. However, he actually survived in the underground world.
What is Hina's relationship with Richtow Bach after her fateful encounter?
After continuing her journey, Hina finally finds the ace pilot Richtow Bach she's been searching for. However, Richtow tells her, "I'm not the ace pilot you're looking for," and disappears from her sight. However, Hina pursues Richtow, and after encountering the Demon of the Abyss and Jail Mardog, she glimpses the mysteries of the world and Richtow's destructive side.
To You, 300 Years Later
After returning to the future, Hina makes no secret of her feelings for Richt and begins to take action to make his bombshell statement come true. The roles of Richt's sexual harassment are reversed, and now Hina is the one forcing herself on him. Richt is a wimp, so she starts running away.
Hina and her friends travel to the past with Nana's powers
Hina and her friends travel 300 years into the past with Nana's powers, where they encounter Licht, Sakai Tokikaze, and other ace pilots from the past, and end up enrolling in military academy with them. Their training there fosters bonds with them and their classmates, but the ensuing Discard War and the birth of the ace pilots are an unimaginably cruel fate. After learning about Licht, also known as Sakai Rihito, and his past, including his kindness and suffering, Hina makes a shocking statement before returning to the future.
Hina: Not Good at Fighting, But She Has Survival Skills
Hina's personality is also not good at fighting, and even when she travels back in time to attend military academy, she receives medic training rather than combat training. While she seems unable to even kill an insect, she actually possesses excellent survival skills, thanks to her many years of traveling alone. She even shows a surprising side to her, such as easily taking down a snake and using it for food.
[Plunderer] Hina Summary
Here's an introduction to Hina, the heroine of Plunderer. She's a fascinating character and a central character in the story, but she can also be seen as one of the protagonists rather than the heroine. She's a character who sometimes seems out of the blue amidst the many twists and turns of the story, but then she makes her presence known. There was also a sexy scene in the previous episode, which was the author's personal favorite, so I'm looking forward to seeing her in action in the anime!
