Hinamatsuri

No wonder she's considered the top practitioner of Naika-ken.

Do you want more?

My smartphone!

It seems I didn't have to make a call.

Hang on, Hina-chan.

Japan

I see.

That vase sold for two million.

I'm glad we won it.

Goodbye.

That's one more for my collection.

The organization is making good profit.

No matter where you go, the winner is the one who makes money.

Ow!

Owie!

Wh-What is that?

Cool.

I'll just pretend that I didn't see that.

Episode One

Arrival of the Psychokinetic Girl!

Yeah, it's still here.

Why wouldn't it be?

Hey...

Would you mind undoing the restraints by pressing the switch on the back?

Hey, you there...

Fine, I'll do it.

Ow...

Clothes, please.

Clothes, please.

Yo, don't be crazy.

Don't expect me to let this slide just because you're a kid.

My collection!

Celebrity A, who was recently arrested on suspicion of

illegal drug possession, continues to deny having consumed any drugs.

Come on, dude, help me clean up.

I'm not "dude." I'm Hina.

Okay, Hina, do you have any idea how much this vase is worth?

Combustible garbage

Noncombustible garbage

Seriously...

Listen, vases do not go in combustible garbage!

That's for garbage that can be burned!

She could kill me if she wanted to.

Hina...

Where did you come from?

I can't tell you that.

What was that power you just used?

I can't tell you that, either.

Then is there a reason that you showed up here?

Not really.

"Not really"?!

Get out of here, then!

I have nowhere to go.

That's not my problem.

Not that one!

That one's really expensive!

Oh, all right. You should stay with me for a while.

Hot!

I burned my tongue.

Lick some ice.

Hey, go blow dry your hair.

Dryer?

For Pete's sake...

Today's News

Dismissed on Charges of Sexual Harassment

A male executive's...

Turn the damn TV off when you're going to bed.

Something's not right.

Why do I feel like a caregiver?

Having no personal effects is inconvenient.

This is a conundrum.

Why does that mean I have to be the one to— Ow, ow, ow!

All right, all right!

I require a stuffed animal in order to sleep.

You were sound asleep last night.

Mug

Mug

I want this one.

Why are you choosing the expensive one?

The handle is cute.

These clothes are cute.

All of them.

This place is amazing.

There's so much that I want.

That'll be 857,120 yen.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Let's get something to eat, then.

High-end sushi or Kobe beef.

What are you, a Hollywood celebrity?

So this is high-end sushi.

What the hell am I doing?

The ikura isn't coming.

What should I do?

Ask for it.

Two plates of ikura.

On it.

You like ikura, huh?

Two plates of ikura.

On it.

Oh, you.

Two plates of ikura.

Just how much do you love ikura?!

A string food poisonings has occurred.

Food Poisoning Outbreak

Outbreak in Tokyo Elementary School

According to the municipal school board, a total of 36 students and staff

have reported vomiting and stomach pain after eating lunch.

She's just your average brat when she's staying put.

Moving on to the next story...

The Tokyo School Board has has issued

Vice-Principal Embezzlement Scandal

5 Million Yen in PTA Membership Fees Embezzled?

a disciplinary dismissal of the vice principal of a public middle school,

charging that he had misappropriated five million yen in PTA fees.

School...

I want to try going to school.

What about that made you want to go?

I don't think it's going to work, kid.

Okay!

I got it.

But let's set some ground rules.

For what?

For how we're going to live together.

Don't use your powers.

If you can do that, I'll let you go to school.

There'd be chaos if people found out about your powers.

Okay?

Got it.

I promise.

Pinky swear.

I saw it on TV.

Pinky, pinky bow-bell

Whoever tells a lie

will commit seppuku and die.

Were you watching a variety show?

So this is a stuffed animal.

It's so fluffy.

That man's a grown-up, and yet he gives me no instructions.

I don't need to fight.

This is a strange world.

Hey, did you brush your teeth before bedtime?

Dude.

You said you couldn't sleep without a stuffed animal.

I'm going to introduce a new student.

Nitta Hina

This is Nitta. She's going to be in your class starting today.

Be good to her.

Okay, Nitta, introduce yourself to everyone.

Nitta?

Hey, Nitta.

Instructor...

Nitta's not here.

A shocking comment!

Huh?

Nitta Hina

No, that's what it says.

Nitta Hina.

You're Nitta Hina from now on.

That's what you're calling yourself at school.

Okay nari.

Were you watching anime?

Oh, right.

I'm Nitta.

This girl's got issues.

She looks like she's in grade school

We were in grade school until last year, too, though.

So anyway, that's why we're arguing with the Shinozuka-gumi right now.

You need to be careful, too, boss.

Calm down, damn it.

Take a look at Nitta.

He's keeping his cool.

I hope that kid's going to be okay at school.

Is he?

All right.

If it goes wrong, I'm going to have to go myself.

Hey, now.

You're gung-ho.

And thus, the namahage, from its appearance, is often mistaken for an oni.

Namahage

She fell asleep all of a sudden.

And thus...

And thus...

And thus...

Great, time for lunch!

I can't believe she's been asleep since the first class.

Hey, Nitta-san, wake up.

Hey, Hina-chan.

You're drooling.

Wait, don't wipe it on your uniform.

There.

Huh?

Why do I feel like I'm a caregiver?

Relax your body and bring your arms straight up.

Hold your posture there.

Now, I can eat a big meal.

Don't use your powers.

Promise...

I'm home.
