Hinowa ga Crush! · review

★
Top reader Nov 5, 2023 · 2 min read
7 /10

Hinowa had a hard time finding its place. On one hand, it aimed to introduce us to a new story with its own personality, its own universe, and more. On the other hand, it tried to become an extension of "Akame Ga Kill!" and "Akame Ga Kill 0." The idea could have been interesting, but if things had been done better and if the manga had taken more time to develop certain aspects, that would have been better. There's also a problem in that the manga wants to do great things, has good ideas, but it doesn't have the time to implement them, probably dueto the lack of interest in this manga. They made the decision to cut things short and quickly finish the story with something "decent." Despite the shortcuts taken, unfortunately, the manga stops after only 53 short chapters right in the middle of the story.

Hinowa had a lot of potential but couldn't exploit it as it should have. It's also a drawback that it tried to be an extension of "Agk" and "AgkZ." While the manga started with a small community already won over by "Akame Ga Kill," on the other hand, it struggled much more to attract new readers ready to start from scratch in this story.

Reading it is relatively easy. Strelka, the man behind Hinowa's artwork, even though he claimed to be a beginner at the beginning of Volume 1, I enjoyed his drawings, although, in my opinion, he had a hard time matching the style of "Akame Ga Kill!" If you've read "Akame Ga Kill" and "Akame Ga Kill 0," you'll notice a clear difference in the character styles, especially that of Akame.

We could also talk about some deviations in the work, such as the countless sex scenes. "AgkZ" already had quite a few, but in Hinowa, it's TOO much. In Volume 5, I think we have almost one sex scene per chapter, and you'll see nearly all the female characters nude at some point in the work.

In conclusion, it's a work with a lot of potential but couldn't fully realize its ideas due to the lack of enthusiasm from the audience and the poor management of what the work's direction should be.
