Hinamatsuri

Gonna try and finish the last 3 chapters now. Need to get my mind off of stuff and this is the only way I know how.

I thank you in advance.

I need a life.

Chapter 57: No Passion, No Work
[Side] There can only, be one winner in this

It's on.

That's some pretty cool composition actually.

"Hmmmm...."

"Aniki, what's wrong?"
"You worrying about something?"

"No, So the management consultancy company I'm running is in some dire straits"
"Is something not going well?"

"Before you see, they figured that this was an enterprise ran by the Yakuza, so we had a good scheduling system and there were a lot of requests coming in"

"But now due to compliance, everyone's backing out"

Keep up the good work. This is the only thing keeping me going right now.

"The name of the company changed and we're putting up a clean front"
"But we haven't achieved much so we plan on getting in on the competition"

"I'm working as a normal salaryman"
"So it's kind of annoying not to have much skill in it"

"Hmmm""

"I don't really get it, but keep at it!"

A company holding an exhibition isn't something grand
[Letter]
Sir Nitta Yoshifumi
We are alerting you to an information meeting for a consulting competition in advance. So we'd like to thank you this time for attempting to participate in a competition to exhibit a new product.
If that's it, I probably won't lose

I think I might be mixing this up with another series, but why do I distinctly remember Mishima having to fire her own dad?

Consulting Competition
Advance information session

"I'm Yokoi from operations"
"We'd like to thank you for coming to our competition to exhibit us"

So it's come to this~

"And now here's what you all are looking forward to"

"The sales strategy for our new toy"

"Our stuffed pet, Ponkichi-kun"
"Our company's fortune depends on whether this sells or not"

"He's a stuffed doll aimed for a younger audience but"
"When we touch him"

"I told you that's the chin!"
"He greets you"

"Hello"
"Who said it was the afternoon here?"

"He was constructed to give answers like that"

"To face off against Oudou, the leading toy making company"
"We'd like your help!"

"First we'll wring our two companies in a competition, then we'll have those two make a final presentation"

No matter how I look at this, I only see a curio that barely survived as a result of stray planning and it can't beat a major company

"In the case you come back..."
More importantly...

"Woow... I was not expecting that you would be here, Nitta-san"

"That's my line"

"Boss, do you know him?"
"Yeah, Hayashi-kun"

This is bad...

If they find out I'm a yakuza

If they find out I'm a high school girl

My career goes poof

"...yeah~"

"I'm Nitta. Actually, I had the chance to be together with president Mishima on a job before"

"Yes..."

"Nitta-san is someone who manages various companies"
"Ohh, as I expected from your connections, boss!"

This girl...

Because she did.

Damn, Hina got hot but she's still such a huge bitch.

She'll immediately consider my intent here
[Small] It'll help but it's not very nice.
As usual, she has way too much experience in society

"If that's the case, that's an issue. I was the one who planned to do this competition"
"An acquaintance of yours will be skilled man, right boss?"

"My talent has ways to go..."
"Hmmm... then I'll do it"

"I'm sorry. Please do"
"We can't afford to lose because we'll be getting clients after all"

Hey hey, you're asking a high school girl to do it, okay?

When?

I re-read the entire thing recently and didn't see it anywhere.

Hina is worst girl

Thank jebus.

>my head feels off so I feel like I wanna get close to this...
He wants to get close to this?

Ooo nice catch

"You're trying to expand the breadth of your job even though he's your acquaintance. I'll just burden you again, boss"

"It's nothing much to worry about"

Dammit... when I listen to Hitomi's conversation, my head feels off so I feel like I don't wanna get close to her...

"Let's do our best together"

"I guess so"

If I lose to a first year high school girl, I can't show my face!

Why is this manga so fucking goddamn good

You love how the time skip didn't affect the humor. Thanks user.

Doing God's work, user. Thanks again.

Wait...now you've got me confused.

YN Consulting
Gold Get Company

You both have passed the first competition

"So I passed stage one..."
"The only one left is Hitomi... If she failed at stage 1, I'd be at ease here"

"What the hell were the other consulting firms doing...."

"The yakuza isn't losing to a High School girl!"

I have no choice...
It's an adult's duty to crush her so her nose doesn't grow too long at her age

"All these consulting firms sure are a shady bunch. So there's only a little girl and a blond haired man left?"
"Boss, those words are"
"Hasn't this matter been settled?"

"Uh... uhhh...."

The way I remember it, she was considering firing him, but because it was so pathetic to be fired by his own daughter, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"So, we'll have President Mishima of the Gold Get company go first"

"I'll introduce myself. My name is Mishima"

"As you guys expect, I'm a little girl"
"I'll try to have you think I'm a little girl who can do your work after my presentation, so I think I'll give it my best shot"

Bastard... You changed the atmosphere so nicely

"First off, I would like to propose something in the beginning of this"

"Right now, I'm changing the target group that the company is thinking about"

"What!?"

"It was a toy designed for a younger age"

"But I think I'd like to make the target middle school girls"
"What did you say!?"

"Please look at the paper here"

"Actually, I gathered kids from kindergarten to high school"
"And collected their impressions about a product which resembles your commodity by having them look at it"

"The younger audience found it easier to get their hands on characters they saw on television"

"Adults close to buying it were also leaning towards conservative responses"
"It was even more so when it came down to getting presents for people's children"

"On that note, when I turned to middle school children, they got more personal about wanting characters that didn't exist before"
"They turned to taking an interest in strange objects"

"If you actually listen in, high school girls are glad when they say 'This character's so cutely gross'"

Kugh...

"We were constantly thinking about aiming it towards kids..."
"What a bold idea..."

She threw the place into disorder with a bold plan from the start
And she turned it into her own field by constructing a charming story!!

This girl... has a gift in presenting!!

>and this is the only way I know how.
Do they not have booze where you are?

Fuck off, he's pure

I could get smashed, but I don't think you want a drunk TL on the scene here.

"If this character gets a green light"
"There may also be a possibility to develop other goods aside from toys"

"We can do a lot of things if they're middle school kids"
"If we also make it for kids at the same time, we'll extend the market"

"Wait, wait!"
"Don't get excited about a hypothesis!"

"We're a toy company that generally manufactures things for kids"
"How much money and time do you think we'll spend on making a new market!"

"Mishima-san, could you stop making these dreamlike tales? We're living in reality here"

"No. I'm also being realistic here"

HINA A SHIIIT

"We will accompany you in your various enterprises aside from this job"

"If it's introducing your enterprise from the copyrights to making a new market for advertising"
"We would like to help wherever we can"

"The estimates of that situation and the like are in the next page"

"Already!?"

Wh...whoa there

"And in the five year plan of the 'success', 'maintaining status quo' and ''failure' patterns..."
"Whoa..."

Whoops, misphrased something

"We will accompany you in your various enterprises aside from this job"

"If it's introducing your enterprise from the copyrights for advertising to making a new market"
"We would like to help wherever we can"

"The estimates of that situation and the like are in the next page"

"Already!?"

Wh...whoa there

"And in the five year plan of the 'success', 'maintaining status quo' and ''failure' patterns..."
"Whoa..."

Hina a best.
Take your mary sue shits and get out.

And forgot pic

I like Hina, she's surprisngly the most human out of all of them.

[Right to left]
Ability to resolve problems
Data analysis
Task management
Talent for documentation
Everything is on the next level...!!

Th...
"Amazing..."
"Her statistics go this far...?"
Then it's my turn to present...?

"And the next one will be Nitta-san from YN Consulting"

"Ah"
"Ah"
"Ah"
"Ah"

"That is all..."

"Hmmm... that wasn't bad"
"But it was after we heard that first presentation..."

I got completely defeated by a first year high schooler
It was my nose that got crushed

I can hear the sound my my heart crushing too
It's pounding

It's to the point that I'd prefer it if I had opened a new door to enjoyment
"Does this feel good?"
"Yeeeess!!"

"Nitta-san"
"You're really sweating and going pale there"

A worried face!?
Like we're not even on the same rung already?
I'm a vicious yakuza and a capable administrator...

Are you looking at me, Nitta Yoshiyumi, with those pitying eyes!?

"And now we'll let you know the results in a few days so..."

"Please wait!!"

"I was incapable of bringing out a presentation that could match that of Mishima-san's"
"But!"

"Could I just have one more chance!?"
"Next time, I will definitely come in with a plan that surpasses that!"

So user, is there a reason you didn't contact Norway, and despite knowing they're still working on it, gonna plow ahead?

"One more time, please!!"

U...unbelievable. Even though the result is being revealed, he's nibbling to the very end...!!
(Note) It still hasn't been revealed

"Nitta-san"

"I don't know how many times I lowered my head at the bank as well"
"But those guys wouldn't even budge a bit"

Umm... I dunno. I'm honestly used to translating stuff and having it disappear into the nothingness of Sup Forums. It's happened many times already.

Looks like the last Hinamatsuri released by them was 7 months ago.

Are you against it?

>Last chapter over 6 months ago

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Norway is already dead Anyway.

You can't really call it working on a project if they haven't released anything in forever

They still release shit just not Hinamatsuri.
>01/26/16 Hinamatsuri 10 52 Norway Scan

They basically dropped it

I know people can get bitchy about this but there is nothing wrong with making translations whenever they want.

You can blame me (Typesetter) for suggesting the series and continuing on with it regardless.

I've heard that they were working on it still, but I don't feel that the pace they were going at was at all acceptable in addition to their general attitude towards scanlation (Norway jokes, really?) wasn't something I wished to be a part of.

Regardless, not like anyone has ownership of certain series anyway.

"When I attained the opposite position, I thought many times to myself that I'll definitely put my passion into it..."

"So!?"

"You can set up one more time"

"Thank you very much"

"Mishima-san, I'll have you come as well, and I'll decide there"
"President!?"

"Mishima-san, I'm so sorry..."
"No, it's natural to desire something better"

You know when I think about it, here's what happened.

My typesetter wanted to pick it up but hesitated, I translated and dumped a chapter to see if people were still interested, someone else ended up doing it, then my original typesetter came back and continued the job. I dunno how this shit happens, it just does.

"Uh, umm"

"That was good work today"
"It seemed that you had the passion and readiness of a manager there. I was moved"

Don't feel bad about it, mate.

Not like norway doesn't have other series they could focus on not being slow as fuck on.

Even if they hadn't dropped it, fuck those meme spewing faggots.

Because there isn't a need for any "reason".

"Hitomi... you bitch... you sure are calm. Did you think you already won?"

"N no! That wasn't what I..."

"You're looking down on me!!"

"I'll definitely make you regret that!"

"Remember that!"

"... he was dazzling"

It's fine. I have nothing against Norway, aside from the memes. I did this series because like said, he asked me to. I ended up enjoying it so here we are.

I'm sorry for turning this into a Norway hate war, but I'm still gonna keep going with this series. In the end, I leave it to the anons reading what to do with my stuff. Stuff like Dowman and Sabagebu went and died. Others like SYD and Sketchbook got turned into something big. I don't control this shit. You do.

>last 3 chapters
Don't scare me like that, I thought it is over.

>...he was dazzling
And then they fucked.

>h-how dare you steal THEIR project
Scanlator autism is the gayest shit ever. If someone stops working on something, why shouldn't someone else work on it? They don't own the copyright.

>"When I attained the opposite position, I thought many times to myself that I'll definitely put my passion into it..."
Shouldn't this be "If I was in the opposite (the bank's) position, I'll definitely be swayed by that passion. I thought so many times"? He's saying that if he was the one being bowed to, he'd accept the other party's request.

Thanks, I was having a hard time with that phrase.

It's shitty to snipe a series from a group that does good work and/or gets chapters out on time, but neither things apply to Hinamatsuri.

You don't talk to Hotomi-chan like that.

>dazzling
More like "blazing" (with anger)

Actually, I'm leaving it like that because that's what I got in the dictionary. You can rejudge it at the end of the chapter

"Aghh~"

"I said that with what little pride I had left, but what should I do..."
"Your future is the iron barrel of your cold sweat..."

"I get it... I get it man"

"What's up with her!!"
"If I didn't go to the bathroom earlier, I would've wet myself!!"

"She's like a giant that's far above me..."
"A giant wall..."

"Even if you don't look up, you're still alive"
"You can just take one step at a time to what's ahead"

"Ugh... aghh..."

"Shut your trap!!"

"Don't treat me like a normal person!!"

This is somehow both sweet and depressing.

She's the only one who understands.

"A bitch like you who spends her money on the slots,"
"Drinks too much, and completely forgets the oath of the bar!

"Oath of the bar?"

"Like you can console a person!"
"You piece of human trash!!"

"I ain't losing"
"My fangs still haven't snapped"

Man, he's snapping from the pressure. It's hilarious.

She's just trying to make you feel better you jackass.

"A wolf... will continue to clamp down even if he's wounded until his fangs break"
"Even if his opponent's a giant"

"Nitta-san drank at a bar...? even though he doesn't wanna get near one?"

"One draft"

>spent all of the last chapter trying to restore this woman's confidence
>snap at her like this
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

>spent all of the last chapter
Huh? last chapter was about best daughter

Slowpoke Typesetter-kun here.

Anyone care for me to dump 50.5 extra that TL'ed in the last thread? Just wrapped it up.

Didn't want to confuse people with two dumpings going on at the same time, though...

Then it was the one before that, it was in that thread.

There's only 9 more pages left in this chapter. Might as well wait till the end.

Three, actually, I think.

53 is the last chapter officially released, and he's doing 57 at the moment, IIRC.

Okay then. I'll try to wrap up the last omake in that time frame.

"Okay. I'm bringing out the money"

"Get me the management consultants and men experienced in strategy!!"

"When a wolf hunts"

"He's in a pack!"

Watch me, Mishima Hitomi

I will tear holes in your heart through my disregard of profit, you bitch!
I have the fangs of money!!

>I will tear holes in your heart through my disregard of profit, you bitch!
Amazing.

>Nitta-san drank at a bar...?
>even though he doesn't wanna get near one?"

I really don't get what's being said here.

I think it's the long running joke about how nobody gave a shit about her bar ever since Hitomi quit and probably made up some excuse to avoid visiting her bar anymore.

>disregard of profit

The most important part is being discarded.

But it could be that too. We can talk through this

This chapter is so amazing it messes me up a lot. Sorry about that.

...unbelievable!!

It seems impossible to gather so many specialized people
But what delicate analysis and colossal statistics!!

In such a short period...
Nitta-san got so serious!!

"That is all"

"Very good work"

"I want to say this first"
"I apologize for insulting you two when we first met!"

"And honestly, I think we will succeed no matter who we leave this job to. I have confidence in this"

"But for now..."

"I want to ask this from Nitta-san!"

"As for why"

"When I first founded this company from my view"
"The thing I valued most at work was passion"

"I was moved by your zeal!"

"You can have this!"
"Thank you very much!"

"Nitta-san"
"I was enlightened by what happened now"

"I feel like I saw what I was lacking"
"Thank you very much!"

"Yeah"
"Welp, good luck to you too"

"Okay!"

Got two omakes done now, just waiting for this chapter to wrap up and I'll dump them both.

Was Nitta finally able to defeat a little girl? He's come a long way.
