Hinamatsuri - Vol. 16 Ch. 82 - Tablet Mishima Hitomi!

[JigokuShounen]

Beside the tablet, which is seriously consider "normal" by this manga standard, this is quite a normal but heartwarming chapter.

 

[LouTheRed]

Poor Hitomi, only have millions of dollars...
GIVE HER A LIFE PEOPLE!!!

 

[codetaku]

Hitomi continues to be the best character in this series. By several miles.

 

[IlsaTilsaKilsaMilsa]

@greatninja3 yeah no, I don't see it. They are far too competent for Hina. Though then again Hina does resemble Nitta's little sister a great deal...

She took after her aunt instead?!

 

[moel]

Funny, sad, and lovely at the same time... Now i can sleep in peace...?

 

[kuma]

noo, hitomi fall even lower! STOOP!!

 

[Piyerus]

Of course, this is all just a setup for when the company she's a figurehead for starts to fail, and she needs to actually work to keep it afloat (even though she'd be happier if it failed). Once again forcing her to keep her school life and work life a secret from each other.

 

[KuroViLolitannia]

Plot twist, it's actually Skynet like AI Hitomi made that already took her over.

 

[belkrax]

That was cute. Thank you for the translations!

 

[Uvenam]

"Normal"

Whatever that means at this point

 

[ToonRex]

What's normal? Can I eat it? Is it microwavable?

 

[knightcky]

Norway!
My dose of happiness in a chapter.
I'm surprised she can't just quit and go back to being "normal"

 

[RexNemorensis]

Ja, vi elsker denne mangaen.

 

[l3arg]

It seems like things should be reverse. She can go to school Japan, and skype with board if she ever needs to.

 

[BaGamman]

@l3arg She probably can't.
I'm not well versed in japanese laws, but I'm pretty sure she's on the wanted list for illegaly putting on a business while being underage and still in a school cursus.
America is more flexible about those kind of thing. Actually, I believe there you can legaly put on a business before legaly be allowed to drink alcohol or having sex.

 

[tanukihat]

"In the end, what sealed the deal was my donation."
"Disgusting."
?

 

[tanukihat]

@BaGamman as far as I know there is no law in America that prevents underage people from owning and operating a business. The only problems she'd have is being unable to sign contracts or manage bank accounts, but she has lawyers to sign contracts and accountants to manage accounts.

 

[Doomroar]

So Hitomi is still thinking about Nitta, really she should aim for some one that would not get in legal trouble by dating her.

 

[v1m]

In the end, what sealed the deal was my donation.

We can all learn from her.

@BaGamman It is not illegal for a highschooler in Japan to own a business. In Japanese law, underage means they are under 20 not 18 so we have an underage CEO in this article: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/07/31/business/tech/19-year-old-ceo-creates-app-bring-japans-voters-politicians-together/#.XBXsittKjIU
There are several manga about highschoolers owning a company. Unlike the US, attending high school is not mandatory in Japan so there are people who will start working after middle school and open a business themselves. Rhere are also people who attend high school and working too.
Hitomi isn't on the wanted list or else she would have been extradited by the US government. She just stays in the US to escape the attention and pressure from other people and the media. If she was charge with anything, it would be faking personal information even if she didn't intend to commit fraud.
