Hibiki - Shousetsuka ni Naru Houhou

[Purue]

that guy is dead

This manga is a riot! honestly Hibiki is so blunt and impulsive i cant help but laugh at some of the shit. Ryou creeps me the fuck out but I know he wont become a nuisance to Hibiki

 

[VooXoo]

I like anime guy but he is have all the foundaments for becoming a villain of some kind, I guess Hibiki and him will make a murder aura when too close from now on.
Note: I loved how anime guy treated the drama duo, but that really opens the door to him and Hibiki causing chaos in the future.

I didn't really like the first few chapters, but the more I read the more I found myself enjoying it. I don't quite understand why its rated so high, but I still enjoyed it and am looking forward to more. Thanks for translating it.

@petra Nah, she just based af

 

[hightide]

sometimes you just want to read a story about a girl throwing stuff around and kicking everyone's ass

So is it all about her being violent "pure literature" Jesus who moves everyone or is there any real development of Hibiki's character?

Edit: After skimming comments I guess nothing changes. Sadly authors illusion of publishing world is unbearable. There are better series which move around other people problems. That one about a shoemaker made by a BL author for an example. Can't say that I understand how this is an award winning... Well, not the first nor last time.

I love how this manga twisting around the cliches
Ryou looks like typical nice shoujo bishie, but he's actually borderline insane and delusional
Hibiki looks like typical quiet girl but actually pretty harsh and straight up violent
the gyaru girl (Rika) looks like another gyaru mob character but actually one of the main characters and she's quite complex

Hibiki's character becomes more defined as people around her realize what sets her off. She's got her own weaknesses (mainly being a teenage girl) and she will fight for people she really likes. Her parents and her childhood friend are the only people that can really defuse her, though the others learn to get used to her quirks. Literature is her passion and it shows it what she likes and what she criticizes. She does learn to apologize when she starts shit without meaning to, so that's some growth. Ultimately she undervalues her own worth even when she says her own opinions. Her parents pretty much treat her acting like a normal person being an amazing accomplishment because she is the trouble child. She's a girl who doesn't really think she has a future even despite her future accomplishments. She actually is down right contemplative after one of her incidents.

Your role is to be envied and resented by the talentless. That's what it means to be talented.

Hibiki's of the belief that if you don't write you're dead as far as the world knows. But of course there is the message that there is more than just writing in this world. One minor character ends up living a rather fulfilling life when they retire from it all. Some people would rather die then live with the thought of failure. Still what Hibiki finds interesting and what she hates becomes rather clear. She likes stories that come from the heart, not stuff just shat out. Because Good Literature does not always correlate to sells well or gets famous though.

Ultimately there's a sort of catharsis with her violence. In a land as decorum based as Japan, action certainly leaves a bigger impression. Combine that with the conflicts (first in the literary sphere and now in the current light novel and anime sphere) Its the phantom reputation of Hibiki vs the real world. And one can only hope for Hibiki to win out in the end.

I don't know what really attracts me to this more than any other series I follow right now, yet I want to see what's next in Hibiki's life. I can certainly feel why this is award winning (especially when you consider its competition). The arc that became the movie won the first award, yet we'll have to see if this or the next one is the one that won the second award.

Manga is ending https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-09-27/hibiki-shosetsuka-ni-naru-hoho-manga-ends-on-october-11/.151591

Spoiler

@bastek66 I mean she is graduating in the latest raw, so I guess it makes sense it should end soon after. 13 volume run is pretty good, especially with the two awards and a movie in its belt.

Mod Note: Please use spoiler tags when talking about chapter-specific or future events.

[Doujinftw]

anyone know what happen to the group that translate this ?

 

[Deoxyribo9]

@doujinftw two anons were responsible for translating and doing the typesetting for this series, the former seemingly last posted last spring and the latter released what we've got so far. Its in that quantum state of dead or alive like most /a/ translations are.

 

[Doujinftw]
