Plot Summary

Quote:

Hinako is a shy little girl whom animals are instinctively drawn to. Because of this, Hinako works as a scarecrow to keep said animals away from the crops in her neighbors fields. Thus the tale of the scarecrow girl begins!

Manga 'Hinako Note' is getting a TV anime adaptation.

I'm sure it makes sense in context but something here doesn't seem to add up...

Interesting plot. Animals are3 drawn to her so much.. they forget to eat the farmer's crops when she's around?

kuromitsu · 2016-08-24, 07:18

Maybe they want to eat her. This could be one of those horror stories where people in an isolated village follow dark, ancient traditions and superstitions to sacrifice a little girl for good crops... leave her out in the field to be slowly eaten by animals...

(Maybe not, though.

)

^ I thought the "spooky village" vibe quota has already been fulfilled by Kumamiko.

Oh, and the title though. So this is "Being A Scarecrow with Hinako"?

I was also scratching my head over the description to be honest.

Fwiw here is a link to an article about it: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-new...pt-hinako-note

I have only read one chapter of it, and as far as I can tell her work involves all the animals gathering around her adoringly and because of that they do not head off to eat the crops.

I could easily see this working as a short.

The cover is cute so I swear it should be cute!

Hmm ... ANN made a post about this series too and the impression it gives is quite different from the CR post.

"The October issue of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Cune magazine is revealing on Saturday that a television anime adaptation of Mitsuki's Hinako Note manga has been green-lit.

"The manga centers on titular protagonist Hinako, who is poor at speaking, and lives in a rural part of Japan. She wants to improve her speech to be able to talk to people freely, so in high school, she transfers schools to Tokyo and plans to join a theater club. When she arrives, it turns out her boarding house is a secondhand bookstore, and a girl who eats books lives there.

"Mitsuki launched the manga alongside Comic Cune, a former magazine-within-a-magazine supplement for four-panel manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive magazine, in August 2014. When Comic Cune relaunched as a full-fledged standalone magazine in August 2015, the manga relocated to the new magazine. The issue shipping on Saturday celebrates Comic Cune's first anniversary as a full-fledged magazine. Kadokawa will publish Hinako Note's second compiled book volume on Saturday."

Hmm ... that was a bit different. Reminds me of a weird cross between Anne Happy and GochUsa for some reason. Weird, but I am kinda intrigued ... somehow.
