#Hinomaru Zumou

Somehow only just learned that the Japanese flag is called "Hinomaru", literally meaning "sun disc"

Hinomaru Zumou is about the national desire to break the streak of non-Japanese Yokozuna

It's both "Hinomaru" the character's sumo and Japan's sumo

That's a fun bit of cultural context

I just have to point out Oda’s dedication to drawing nipples.

Japan’s laws about nudity and obscenity in publishing seem pretty arbitrary. Someone else is welcome to correct me on this, but if I recall correctly a lot of these laws were created in response to Western mores about sex and nudity. The rule about nipples was meant to allow for realistic depictions of Japanese clothing which showed more of the chest than Western clothes while still limiting potential eroticism. But it leads to some odd situations. Like, I read all of Hinomaru Zumou, which is about sumo and the characters are nearly naked 90% of the time, but their nipples are never drawn.

On the other hand Oda ALWAYS draws nipples on his guys. Ａｌｗａｙｓ。

Hinomaru Sumo is a fun series and deserves more love. This is my attempt at providing that.

2022 Favorite Manga

It was generally an odd year for me in terms of reading manga. For several months I just had no desire to read anything. I’m sure it was due to depression (2022 started off...rough). I got a second wind around October so most of these I actually read just in the past three months.

This manga is amazing

Después de tanto que me había leído Hinomaru Zumo y que quedé totalmente encantada. Ahora me animé a ver el anime. Sabiendo que muchas cosas se saltaron y cambiaron varias cosas de la historia del manga, igual lo veo para disfrutar ✨🤭 Aún así, tengo fe en un remake (no tan probable) y este cast de seiyuu está perfecto ✨

Since you read a lot of Shonen jump, is there manga there that isn't that "mainstream" that you wish more people knew about? (Besides Undead unluck and cypher academy)

Aside from the countless manga that I've watched in horrors as they've drowned in the Swamp of Cancelation, I'm gonna go with the ones that weren't big enough to make the trek westward in the days before simul-releases, most notably Medaka Box and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro

In Japan, all of Yuusei Matsui's works are hits, but over here, it's pretty much only Assassination Classroom so far. Elusive Samurai will undoubtedly get a huge windfall when the anime starts, but Neuro? The anime was on Crunchyroll and had a limited undubbed digital release through Viz, but otherwise it has no presence here at all. Which is a shame, cus it's the best of Matsui's work in my opinion

Sadly, both Neuro and Medaka were just too early. Today, everything in Jump at least gets translated, even if they don't get physical releases, but both of those are stuck with fan translations of...let's say inconsistent quality. I guess that's better than what Psyren got, at least...

Addendum: Hinomaru Zumou arguably arrived at a worse time, since it was in the process of ending when the simul-releases began. We got the first few chapters and the last several translated, but now there's a huge dearth of content that only has a fan translation, and reading everything through fan sites results in poorly formatted official pages that are almost never arranged properly when double-pages come up, inherently making the fan experience worse. I hope that Viz will go back and finish it sooner than later, but I don't even know if they're ever going to do it, and the lackluster anime adaptation preventing the series from gaining enough demand to warrant doing so doesn't help

I just started Hinomaru Sumo and 2 things

1. I wanna kick the dogshit outta Reina. Literally wanna drag her annoying ass across the floor just hearing her shrill ass voice. I wanna mop that hole.

2. Shinya and Yuma are cute together and I want them to date.
