Hinamatsuri

My typesetter wanted to pick this up, but he might be backing out. And I have no idea what the fuck is happening behind the scenes. So this is just a testing ground to see if people still like this. Don't put up what you are about to see because it might complicate things even further.

do it please

I'm gonna dump 53 now. Maybe do the side chapters of vols 9 and 10 while I'm at it.

OP please do it.

Chapter 53: Succeeding the taste

ikura on bread sounds fucking awful.

"There!"

"Okay, your ramen's ready!"

"Anzu-chan, you grew up a lot"

"Hehe"

"She still has ways to go. She's only taking care of the ramen after all"
"Hahaha, the road sure is long"

"Yes!"

[Recipe] Twice cooked pork
Thinly cut pork 400g
Cabbage 1/3 of a whole
Bell peppers 5 pieces
Green Onions 1 stick
Garlic & Ginger 1 clove each
Flavoring
[Can't read the left one], Soy sauce, and alcohol 2 tablespoons each

"I pretty much remembered the recipe"

"But it sure is difficult to grasp it through intuition like the old man"

"But if I can do it better"
"They can be at ease"

"Okay, here's your Twice cooked pork set meal!"

"Maan, my shoulders have been killing me these days so it's a great help that you're doing it Anzu-chan"

"Leave it to me!"

"He he he he"

"Do you have a minute, Anzu-chan?"
"Oh sure"

"Adoption?"

"Anzu-chan, it's already been three years since you came here. I thought it'd be a good idea"

"Oh but"
"Someone like me"

"You don't have to hold back"

"Besides, we especially think of you as our child"

"Or perhaps if you hate us"

"That's not the case!"
"If you guys think of me like that....."

"Wh... what should I say......"

"Hehe"

"I see. That's good"
"As for why we brought this up now"

"Actually, this place became a target for the land readjustment to develop the front of the station"
"So the place has to close up and get out"

"Huh?"

"So are we setting up somewhere else?"

"No. We won't because we're living in an apartment we bought from selling the land"

"Since we're too old now to keep the place going"

"Wha"

"Besides if we run the store, it'll hold us back and we'll be supporting it forever"

"It's better for you to think about the future and go to school"

"Wha"
That meaningless place?

"A lot of things fell into the right place"
"A new life awaits us"

"I'm happy about becoming the old man's kid and all but......"

"The store going away means"
"I'll be a burden on them again"

"And I finally got to be useful to them for just a little bit"

"...chan"
"Anzu-chan"

"Anzu-chan!"
"Oh sure"

"What was the customer's order awhile ago?"
"Wha"

"Oh....."
"What was it?"

"Oh dear, I finally thought you got used to it Anzu-chan, but I guess not"
"Ugh...... I'm sorry"

"Anzu-chan, are you alright?"

"Put those utensils aside"
"We're running out of boxes"

"I wonder if we should get someone to go to the market"

Recipe 1
The old man's style
Recipe 2 [TN: In the background]

[Same recipe as page 3, but with 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon below the final entry]

Chinese stir fry
Sliced beef 300g
Bell peppers 8 pieces
Mushrooms 1
Soy sauce
Alcohol

The sauce is necessary here!!

"You can't eat this ramen at all. Do it one more time"
"Okay!"

It really
Is going away

"How nostalgic. It's the thing from when you were pulling the cart"
"Whoa, it really is"

"Oh Anzu-chan"

"No"

"Wait, Anzu-chan!"

"Leave her alone for a little bit"
"She needs the time to take all this in"

"Uuughh~"
"Uuugh"

"Ug..."

"It seems that she wants to relieve her digestion for a bit, but"
"She's having some sorta problem"

"Hey Anzu"

"Oh"
"Th this is..."

"If we were interrupting something, our bad"

"Because of that store, I"
"It made me what I am now... so it just going away is......."

"Did you earnestly tell them that?"

"Saying it will fall on deaf ears"
"I'll just be bothering them"

Wheww

"You're a moron"

"Wha!"
"Why!!"

"So you kill yourself and be the good child. What'll happen?"

"Even if nothing comes of it, being able to say your feelings honestly"
"Makes a family, right?"

"You're hiding how you feel and keeping it formal. Don't you really think of them as parents?"

"Wha!!"

"Don't fool around! Of course I think of them that way!"

"Because I!"

"Hold it, hold it"

"Any more and we'll be asking for your embarrassing confession here"
"Embarrassing!"

"Go"

"I'm not the one you're gonna say that to, right?"

"Aniki, you've said plenty of embarrassing things though"
"If it was possible, I wanted to do it in a place where you weren't there"

Old man
Old lady
I

If the store goes away, I

"Anzu-chan..."

"I really don't want the store to go away"

"Anzu-chan..."

"We know how you feel so we're happy, but"

"I know. I figured it was pointless"

"So I thought of this"

"I'll handle the store"

"What?"

"Is... that something you wanna do when you get older?"
"Right now"

"What're you saying. There's no way you can do it"

"Then I'll run a cart like you did, old man"

"You moron!"

"You're being naive!"

"And yet I will acquire your taste..."

"Don't say things you can't handle!!"

"Oww"

"In essence"

"In essence, my taste is just an exaggerated story"
"No it's not!!"

"It's definitely not!"

"I..."

"was saved by your cooking, old man"

"Everyone came to the store to eat your cooking"

"I thought that was amazing"

"So I want the customers to know that from now on!"
"I don't want it to go away!!"

Bump for Hinamatsuri.

"...."
"....you idiot......"

"Come with me"

"This is the cart I used before"

"The cart business, you see"

"Isn't a stable thing. It's not very profitable. It's straining on your stamina"

"Sometimes you get verbally abused by drunk customers"

"I'll help you out with the preparations behind the procedure of running a cart and managing it alone"
"But if you're gonna do that!"

"It'll have nothing at all to do with us. And you're not our daughter"
"Will you still do it!?"

"Hey hey hey, dear......."

"You can't right? Then"

"......I'll do it"

"Anzu-chan, you're saying stupid things!"
"You too dear!"

"It's fine, old lady. I got it"

"Even if I really can't be your kid"
"If I succeed the old man's taste"

"That would make me your kid in a way, right old man?"

"Do what you want!"

"How could you say that dear!"

"Of course it's impossible!"

"Aghhhhhhh~"
"What have I done"

"I thought she'd give up if I said those things"
"No, even if I messed up I wonder if I should take her in again"

"It's not too late now"
"Men can't swallow what they spit out!"

"Don't go spouting stupid things"

"It's stupid but......."

"It made me happy..."

"I was just keeping up a small Chinese food place in this town"
"I forgot this flavor of mine which I was so hung up on before...."

"And yet"
"It meant that she could keep it going"

"There"

"Here's the cart and my solo life. I finally got used to it"

"So you're doing it"

"Yup"

"Oh it's you guys again"

"You're just managing the stall. Just because you have an uneasy conscience"
"This guy here's really overprotective of Anzu-chan"

"Mmm, there we go!"

"This school cafeteria like flavor is so nostalgic!"
"So that means it calms you down!"
"Not knowing sure is a bliss"

"Quit kidding around and go"

"No, there are customers now, we'll just be..."

"Okay okay, we're going"
"Hey..."

"Oh"

"Two ramen!"

Whoops, screwed up the pages.

"Okay!"

"Here you go!"

"Thanks for the meal"

"Hey, we're going"
"Wait dear, what about Anzu-chan"

"Thank you very much"

"Dad, mom"

"Anzu-chan......"

"Y you fool!"
"Accepting a child comes after succeeding the taste!"

"Oh is that so"

"I think she can succeed them with room to spare"
"Hey"

"Really?"

"Yeah"
"H hey..."

"Hey Anzu-chan, call her mom one more time!"
"Mom!"
"Oh my~"
"Dammit... it's natural"
"Aniki, what's wrong?"

'Hinamatsuri' continues in volume 11

What did the bowl say?

Where the fuck are the tissues?

Now excuse me while I lie down for a bit. I'll probably do the extras since Norway seems to have forgotten them.

Thank you very much

She kinda says the exact same thing the next panel if you didn't notice.

Thanks for the dump, OP.

I want to help Anzu run a hole-in-the-wall restaurant!

Thanks

Actually, you know what? If anybody's interested in typesetting go ahead.

Bump for interest.

Oh fuck. Even if there are problems going on, it's still great to see a new Hinamatsuri chapter.

I sorta changed my mind after a while. I mean, nobody's doing it.

sheit she looks good af post-timeskip

Thanks OP

>"This guy here's really overprotective of Anzu-chan"
She's every father's dream, after all.

Did Hina actually have black hair? I always imagined her with brown hair.

noice

thank you OP

Thanks for the dump. Anzu chapters always made me feel tingly.

Right, I was gonna dump 54 but it's getting late so just 9 and 10 omake. Nice to see people enjoy this though.

Thanks for the translation, hinamatsuri is fantastic.

Came here for laughs and got hit with feels. Thanks OP, I've been missing Hinamatsuri.

Thanks OP

Thanks for the dump, anzu sure is a perfect daughteru

THANK U OP YAY

Thank you, OP. It's been a while.

Fuck, I actually teared up.

Anzu is a fucking miracle of the universe.

Ahhhh volume 9 is taking too long to download fuck this doing volume 10 omake.

Extra 20 (After 49)

The road to passing

Teihen High School [TN: Could be a pun on 底辺 which means 'sucky' and 'low class']
Exam hall

Nitta Hina

"Yes"

pfft

[TN: All she wrote was her name]

Teihen Senior High school
New entrant selection exam

Exam number

"Yes!"

...

did she fucking cheat?

Extra 21 (After 50)

Each person's whereabouts

"It seems that I'm getting referred to Shingaku High school"

"How nice. I also took that exam so that makes me jealous"

"Because I always curried favor with the teacher. The boons of my efforts~"

"Where did you go Hina........"

"I don't have to ask"
"Why?"

"Okay then, Hitomi..."
"Mishima!?"

"Where are you going, Mishima!?"

"Huh? Me?"

"Oh.....uh..... I'm just a little curious......"

............if I say that I'm not going because I'm starting up a business
I wonder if I'll stand out..........

"Hey hey, why're you curious about Hitomi's career choices?"
"No, I was just thoroughly referencing my own career......"

In any case, high school..... there wasn't enough time to be worrying about only that

If I'm burdened with the life of employment, everything can't be so convenient

I'm so jealous of the fact that everyone's having normal lives

"Why do you have those pitying eyes!?"

"I can go to the same school as you if I try.... no never mind that!"

Wait, how does that work if she wrote nothing?

[Sign] Staff room
"So it's only Kurashiki-san from my class" [TN: Dunno if there's actually a person from the manga with a name like that. Anybody know?]

"If I could refer just one more person from our class, I'll put them together but....."

"Someone capable....."

Mishima Hitomi

"Her grades are good enough"
"Her record can go either way"

...

She first got into skill because of the yakuza, didn't she? I'd say grandpa's still helping her out.

Extra 22 (After 52)

Hina's feelings

"It seems like it was a only a short dream. Hina's gotten independent"

Heh

"Nitta"
"What's up?"

"Here, for you"

"Hm?"

"What's this?"
"A present"

"I had spare money even though I bought my computer"
"So I bought this"

"You......"

"Ha... hahaha"

"You're giving someone a present"

"You somehow managed to grow up"

"Hey hey, you little"

"Is this...."

"A dieting tool"

Did she say my stomach has been sticking out recently......

"Squeeze it"

[Twang SFX]

Yeah vol 9's taking too long to download so I'm off to bed.

Anyone who wants to typeset go ahead. If thread's still up when I get back on, I'll try and do more chapters and stuff.

Thanks man.

By the way, volume 11's coming out in September sometime. So get ready.

thanks op, I've been waiting for scans for awhile, practically cried this chapter.

Godspeed OP, finally someone picked this up.

With no set typesetter but yeah

Oh, it seems I forgot to put "Welco..." in panel 6 there. That was close.

Fucking excellent. Thank you op, I'm glad I checked Sup Forums at 2am.

You're doing God's work, OP.

I assumed the numbers were their ranking within the school being that they're one by one in ascending order. But Hina has mistook her high number as a better score rather than a terrible rank.
