There are three things I want to mention about "Hinamatsuri":
1. This is a full-fledged comedy manga.
2. Despite the unusual setting, this is a slice-of-life manga without 'depressing drama moments'.
3. This is a very awesome and very unique manga.
Ok, let me explain:
1. There are a lot of comedy mangas out there, often with some girls talking about random stuff, but most of them aren't really that funny. And that's actually fine! Even though they might not be that funny, still they bring a smile to my face and are worth reading.
Well, "Hinamatsuri" is different. This manga is REALLY funny. There were some scenes were I actually

Hinamatsuri 10/10
So that's it my friends ... Hinamatsuri came to an end ... I am very happy to have accompanied this wonder ... Thank you Ohtake for the wonderful story and for the wonderful and captivating characters ... Anzu, my favorite character from Hinamatsuri, melted my heart since she appeared ... Her growth as a person was sensational ... she was the main reason why I read the manga ... she is so captivating and leaves us so moved that we think she carries Hinamatsuri on her back, even that the other characters are also captivating. There's not much to talk about, it's just pure ... 
Dec 12, 2013 Surprised this manga has this little popularity, its one of the funniest comedy manga I have ever read and i think it deserves more recognition and support as SOL comedies usually don't make me laugh or interest me that much. Story- Slice of life, comedy manga about an eccentric young girl, Hina, who has Esper powers that's currently living together with an infamous Yakuza member, Nitta, and the troubles she always causes him by using her powers whenever she feels like it. Most chapters usually revolve around their home, school, the bar and the dealings of Yakuza activities. The story does not have much progression. However, ...

Apparently, "with great power comes great responsibility".
Hina in Hinamatsuri is a powerful esper who essentially forces Nitta the yakuza to take her in. The two together find themselves among a memorable cast and ridiculous circumstances that make you wonder "how are they gonna worm out of it this time?" Hinamatsuri was a joy ride from start to finish and I've, like countless others, found myself laughing out in public much to my dismay. Setting crippling social standings aside, Hinamatsuri is an excellent example of comedy manga done right. The reason why it this series is so successful is due to comedy's essential mantra: "write characters and ...

I am surprised this manga isn't that popular, despite being a hilarious comedy that shares similarities with Yotsuba to! or D-Frag!, implementing the manzai-type of comedy, in addition to a lot of situational and everyday life of humor. It is has a fantasy type of setting, as well as great characters and art style that enhances the comedy greatly. It must be said that it shares some dubious and ridiculous aspects as well that broke a bit with the immersion in the manga.
~Story~ The setting of Hinamatsuri is quite unconventional, especially considering the characters presented. Readers are presented with Nitta, a Yakuza member, who finds Hina ...

Let's be honest, the art is barely better than the original Onepunch-man, and this is why it works so well. This is a gag slice-of-life story, that happens to have superpowers as a flavor and a lot of yakuza, including the main character.
The story makes absurd plots flawlessly work, making the stupid and supernatural fit really organically into day-to-day life. Despite all the great storylines of the main characters and my fuzzy love for Niita-the-troubled-idiot, Hitomi-chan' storyline takes the cake. I just don't know how you can come up with that on purpose, because it is OUTSTANDING. Her story alone is the reason to pick the ...

One of the most memorable manga that I've read.
I've first seen it in Netflix the anime version but I felt unsatisfied so I go straight to the manga when I discovered it has. The story is great, comedy is top tier which is more on misunderstandings. The art is not that great but clear and detailed so it can deliver the story better. Characters are great as their designs. You got a unusual yakuza mc, who was forced to adopt a girl who has a superpower, and many more interesting characters. It was sad it has ended but it's sure a hell of a manga, I recommend you ...

Hinamatsuri is easily my most favorite manga and I don't get why it's relatively unknown in the community. It's slice of life with pretty good humor about a Yakuza basically adopting a girl with psychokinetic powers from the future/another dimension (?) - we haven't really reached a full explanation yet. The setting and the characters are each funny in their own way. I'm usually particularly drawn to Hina's own storyline, as well as Nitta's and Mishima's. Anzu's isn't that great, but still passable in its own way.
The setting doesn't reset at the end of a chapter, and there's multiple chapters with references to events 30 ...

I don't usually write reviews but this... this manga is way beyond my expectations! Yeah, we got that this is like Saiki or Mob Psycho but this manga had a league on it's own. We don't see very often a metal pod coming out from nowhere. We also don't see a girl, that had been kidnapped, mistakes the scene as a T.V shooting. We will never see a pot-addicted yakuza (I don't mean drugs, really) buy a 7-million yen worth of chinawares. This manga is very much unique and the features it's showing keeps on coming. Seriously, this puts the nail in the coffin that

Hinamatsuri is a solid comedy manga that starts out super strong, but ends a little bit awkwardly. I greatly enjoyed the majority of the series, mostly because of the hilarious scenes and great characters (Anzu, Hitomi, and Nitta for example). But, the final arc honestly ruined the manga a little bit for me, as it focused on some of my least favorite characters in the series, and the answer to the question "Who is Hina and where did she come from?" is never concluded very solidly. The ending also felt very rushed, and sometimes it also felt like the author was just making things up

Art - The art is very straight forward just like the Main Character Hina. It doesn't have extraordinary hairstyle or character design but the art style fits perfectly with the genre. This kind of art style has its own charm and it makes this manga even more hilarious.
Character - Yakuza. Esper. Bartended. Office worker and few other normal people. But don't underestimate these lineup. Story - Refreshing storyline if you want a slice-of-life comedic anime. If the anime interests you, you'll find the manga more interesting. Most readers get bored after a few chapter if the comedic formula is repetitive. But Hinamatsuri does not make readers ...

after completing this wonderful manga, I can not hold myself from talking about it.
this manga focuses on comedy more than anything else. I fell into a hysterical laughter every time I read it. However, the plot is good and suitable for this kind of series. I really loved the characters of this manga, and I liked how different they are. every interaction between them was nice and funny which made this manga extremely enjoyable. the art in this manga is good in general, I did not find anything distinctive in it. the author did not focus on background detail, which is pretty normal for comedy ...

As there are a lot of other reviews, i will skip most of the stuff covered by other reviewers.
This manga is a ridiculous mix of yakuza + espers from future + normal highschoolers + few adults from various walks of life. The comedy is always on point. Having such a wide variety of characters also allows the manga to focus on different characters (and their interactions) in various chapters. Although Hina/Nitta are the main MC pair, we have a secondary cast of characters who are atleast as popular. Hitomi's rise or Anzu's heartwarming adventures are always wholesome. Despite going past 100 chapters, you never ...

It was so good, but it got worse as the mangaka keep Hina the same as she is. It's king of annoying to watch her being calm and don't care about anything, like she is becoming a villian and a NEET now. At least there must be some character development, but no. I was so dissapointed when reading the later chapters from 64 and beyond. At the beggining the show was so good. But now, I just hope Hina will become better and the whole show will have some development rather than the usual misunderstanding gags.
I really hate the rule of entering a longer ...

***spoiler review***
idk im kinda surprised there aren't more reviews for this series, especially now that the manga has officially finished. honestly this manga has its ups and downs, the parts before the time skip feel a lot more solid. some reviewer was like "ummm hina doesnt really develop even after the time skip" and honestly they're not wrong cause every character except hina gets develop (for better or for worse) and hina's just hanging around like nobody's business. it's funny. it's wholesome. it's not too wholesome though because the manga -- or at least its characters -- keep themselves in check from trying to fall into ...

Hinamatsuri is a manga that excels at comedic delivery. Mangaka Otake Masao is brilliant at drawing facial expressions and paneling. The characters’ consistent reactions, the timing of the jokes, and their unexpected twists induce side clutching laughter.
Character dialogue and reaction faces are the bread and butter of Hinamatsuri. Chapters where storyline does not advance, are also when some of the funniest interactions between characters occur, because anything can happen and the colorful characters can be themselves. The story is weak but adequate for a sci-fi-esque comedy. The setting, the ensemble cast of yakuza and co, are also somewhat unconvincing, but you tell yourself it’s okay ...

Hinamatsuri is a fun, lighthearted, comedy manga. The premise itself is simple: a yakuza boss is living his life, when all of a sudden Nina, a young girl appears in his home. Turns out she is an insanely strong esper, and the two of them get into various hijinks as the story goes on.
What makes this manga special, however, is that though Nina has some crazy powers, they don’t define her character at all. Nina is a lazy, good for nothing, middle school girl who just wants to nap and play video games. Her powers aren’t really that important, as this manga is almost ...

Nitta is your typical yakuza. He is a womanizer gangster with a scar on his face and enjoys spending his evening in shady bars and cabarets. His whole life is changed when a strange pod containing a young girl crashes into his apartment. Nitta has no choice but to take the role of a father figure for this girl while trying to maintain his yakuza status. It's hard to become a parent in one day, but the girl Hina, also appears to possess very powerful esper powers. Will Nitta manage to fulfill his role as a new father AND as a Yakuza?
This series ...

After beelzebub (manga), it's hard for me to hop into comedy mangas. however, hinamatsuri is different.
It's not just a comedy story (like danshi kokousei), but it has a plot in it. Although it's mixed with comedic scenes from the characters. It reminds me of Beel for the first part (beel suddenly shows up to Oga, while here, Hina shows up to Nitta). the art itself isn't appealing, but I was able to read this manga thanks to the funny jokes and facial expressions(i find them funny xD) I love the characters, and each has their own 'funny' tropes. Overall, I really do enjoy this story and ...

Hinamatsuri has quickly become one of my favourite manga series of all time. It’s a shame it’s not as popular as other comedy manga like Grand Blue Dreaming, which I’d argue Hinamatsuri is just as funny.
Story - The story is unlike any other slice of life I’ve read. At it’s core this an odd couple kind of comedy as the two main characters Hina and Nitta learn to live with each other and help each other out, but the cast of characters and the sometimes satirical situations they’re put in really make the series special. Characters - The characters really drive the comedy. From their absurd ... |
