Doughnut Gunso Comments
- Your time zone might vary, but for some people this profile comes out on Valentine’s Day. “What are you trying to say?” Well, I am not saying anything at all.
- Beach volleyball? Are you sure THAT is beach volleyball?!
- As expected, “fear of heights” and “chest size” are there to prove that Hinagiku is no Mary Sue.
- Just like the Sanzen’in trio, Hinagiku did not have a happy childhood. The day when her parents went missing was the worst day of her life – so far.
- Being adopted by the Katsuras significantly increased her luck by an index of 9. After that, her life became better and better.
- Meeting Hayate was the best moment in her life so far. Full stop.
- Maybe she was “infected” with Hayate’s bad luck, or maybe it was her love problems, her luck then became worse and worse. Over the next 4 to 5 months, her luck was decreased by 12.
- The infamous Ch. 239 incident was, curiously, not the worst moment in her life. Well, I have already explained that her loss, objectively, was limited.
- For some reason, having Athena as her daughter was worse than failing to confess to Hayate. Maybe it’s because she was blackmailed by her “daughter”…
- Living in Violet Mansion gave her a much better life, as her luck index became positive again. Her current luck is as good as Hayate’s… Wait a minute, is it a good thing at all?
- What’s lacking in her history graph is a “-9 incident”, and I don’t know if it means that Hinagiku will face a huge trouble in the future… Well, it’s okay if someone is smart enough to realize that she needs to be saved after all when in trouble.
