Hinamatsuri (Japanese: ヒナまつり) is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masao Ōtake. It has been serialized in Kadokawa's magazine Harta, formerly known as Fellows!, since 2010, and has thirteen tankōbon volumes as of September 2017. The series is licensed by One Peace Books.

The story follows yakuza member Yoshifumi Nitta, who ends up taking care of a mysterious girl with telekinetic powers named Hina who inexplicably appeared in his apartment.

Characters

Main characters

Hina (ヒナ, Hina)
Voiced by: Takako Tanaka[1]
The titular heroine who has superhuman abilities, which include telekinesis and explosion. She may be from another world or timeline, and it is implied she was the subject of experiments or used as a weapon. She usually lazes around at Nitta's apartment and sleeps in school. She is very particular about food despite demonstrably lacking a refined palate, and her favorite food is salmon roe.
Yoshifumi Nitta (新田 義史, Nitta Yoshifumi)
Voiced by: Yoshiki Nakajima[1]
The main protagonist who takes Hina into his home and somewhat resents her intrusion into his bachelor lifestyle. He is a yakuza of the Ashikawa-gumi, where he quickly rises through the ranks thanks to Hina's abilities and his own prowess at administration. He acquired cooking and housekeeping skills to take care of his mother and younger sister after his father died, and his hobby is collecting rare porcelain vases and urns (which Hina often destroys). His family and fellow yakuza members are convinced that Hina is his daughter from a past relationship.

Supporting characters

Hitomi Mishima (三嶋 瞳, Mishima Hitomi)
Voiced by: Kaede Hondo[1]
Hina's classmate in middle school, a pushover who has trouble saying no to helping people. Her demeanor indirectly leads her to usurp Utako's position as the bartender at her own bar. Then, through a series of coincidences, she is mistaken as an adult and later becomes an influential member of society with connections to businesspeople, politicians, and the yakuza. She even ends up hiring her own father for an office job in her company, without him realizing she is his daughter.
Anzu (アンズ, Anzu)
Voiced by: Rie Murakawa[1]
Another superhuman with telekinetic powers like Hina. She is initially sent to kill Hina, but loses to her in a contest of strength and abandons the mission. Unable to return to her masters because the device necessary to do so was inadvertently damaged, she joins a homeless camp in Tokyo, but is later taken in by a couple who run a Chinese restaurant and learns the secrets of making good ramen from them.
Mao
Voiced by: Ari Ozawa[2]
Another esper with telekinetic powers from the same organization as Hina and Anzu. After being sent to recover them both, she accidentally lands on a deserted island and is stuck there for months without human contact, creating wooden puppet versions of Hina and Anzu to keep from going insane. Eventually, she manages to build a raft and ends up in China, where she studies kung-fu while subtly using her powers to rise near the top of the school.
Utako (詩子, Utako)
Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa[2]
The owner and original bartender of the bar Little Song. She blackmails Hitomi into working for her after Hitomi becomes highly skilled at bartending, but is soon made redundant in her own bar as her customers come to prefer Hitomi's drinks. Nitta was romantically interested in Utako, but she rejects him because she believes him to be a divorced single father, and Nitta later loses interest in her due to her self-centered personality.
Oyabun
The head of Nitta's yakuza group. He eventually retires from his position due his advanced age and poor health, but maintains much of his influence. He dotes on Hina in a grandfatherly way, even using yakuza resources to assist her in such situations as running for student council president, and encourages Nitta to take a more active interest in raising her.
Kiyoshi Baba
Voiced by: Tsuyoshi Koyama[2]
The second-in-command of Nitta's yakuza group. He views Nitta as a shameless brown-noser, but respects his recent accomplishments.
Sabu
Voiced by: Kengo Kawanishi[2]
Nitta's underling in his yakuza group. He usually proves somewhat inept at whatever task he is assigned, such as debt collection, forcing Nitta to handle matters personally.
