 Revised translations for early chapters have been uploaded! See below!Hinamatsuri is a battle manga about super-powered children.  Okay, not really. Hinamatsuri is actually about the pure-heartedness of children, and how they can help even the most jaded adults remember their precious memories of innocence and freedom.  Okay, not really. Hinamatsuri is really about these people:  Meet Yoshifumi Nitta, a mid-level yakuza more suited to office management and diplomacy than kicking rear end. Hobbies include collecting fine china and drinking at his favorite bar. His life is disrupted by:  Hina. She’s 13. She’s telekinetic. She has trouble using her words. Likes: Eating, sleeping, video games Dislikes: Effort, bathing They have a few problems.  But they manage to work them out.  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. The supporting cast is also one of the strongest I’ve seen in a long while. Standouts include Hina’s psychic rival Anzu, who is a better person than her in almost every way, and long-suffering classmate Hitomi, who discovers many hilarious new talents while getting dragged into Hina’s nonsense. Finally, reaction faces.    Oh, the reaction faces. Update: The earliest scanslations of Hinamatsuri were very rough, bordering on unreadable in places. If these turned you off from reading, you may be glad to learn that most of the early chapters have been redone and greatly improved in the last month or so! Give it another shot, you won't regret it! Mary Annette fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Sep 23, 2013 |

AmiYumi posted:On chapter 10 right now; Hina's wonderful speech of "I suggest we choose the contractor through competitive bidding, in order to cut costs and improve the school lunch's quality. Take a short breath here." is killing me. I hope that mob lawyer got a nice bonus, given what he had to work with.

If someone told me that the funniest thing I'd read all day involved a detective failing to catch a breath mint, I wouldn't have believed them. I'm happy to have been wrong about this.

New short little 4-page thing. OK, you know what I said about the translation maybe getting better with time? Forget it. "Foil gras"? "Pulses?" This is disgraceful. I've got zero experience with scanslation groups and even less patience for nerd drama, but I do have access to the raws through volume 4, am a native English speaker (which seems to be what the current crew lacks), and am willing to take a stab at putting out a script of my own. Any goons who might be able to put it to good use, please PM me.

I don't think I like this chapter's foray into dark horror. Accidentally calling your teacher 'mama' is every kid's worst nightmare.  Also gonna take this opportunity to update the OP with better images and a note about the recent revisions of older chapters.

I like how Hina's slowly becoming more expressive and better at communicating, but still basically doesn't give a poo poo about anything but eating, sleeping, and video games.

Captain Invictus posted:Wait, how old are they? I thought they were elementary schoolers or maybe early middle schoolers at most, but I could be forgetting something, been a while since I read the older chapters.  I see no reason to doubt this. Hina is a terrible liar. Also I completely lost it when I saw Nitta's celebration display.
