Hinako Note – Episode 2 – Origins of Hinako Scarecrow and Formation of the Hitotose Troupe

Now that Hinako decided to make her own theater troupe, how will she accomplish this?

In the first half, we learn more about Hinako and her shyness. It seems that she has a hard time communicating with strangers. As a result of her shyness, she becomes a scarecrow of some sort.

The funny thing is that she is good at talking to animals. The farmer couple decided to give her vegetables as payment. I have to admit it’s funny to see her mother’s reaction to her daughter bringing home vegetables, especially while wearing a costume. Yes, she had to share it over social media, which is funny and cute.

Eventually, Hinako gained the courage to thank them. Some practice does the trick. With that, she wakes up and finally realizes that she in Tokyo. Nonetheless, it was nice to see the flashback of something she wants to overcome.

With that, Hinako with Chiaki, Mayuki and Kuina eventually plans how they will form the troupe. From there, we learn the reason why the advisor of the theater club left. It seems that her skills have reached a limit. It’s understandable, but will she ever return? Maybe.

Aside from learning more about the woman who is the advisor of the said club, we also learn how Chiaki got into theater. From the looks of it, her parents did acting for a living. With one of the child actor is sick, Chiaki did a stand-in. As expected, she was nervous. Thankfully she got better. Her father, turns to music and managing apartments after that incident.

Eventually, the girls plan what job Hinako will do. As expected, Hinako won’t be able become a waitress or tend the bookshop given her shyness. In other words, this is where the theater troupe comes in with Hinako being the leader of it. They eventually settle it on naming the group as Hitotose Troupe.

With that, they eventually plan where they should start. After looking at a magazine, they decide to make performing at the Suzuran their goal. Will they make it? We’ll see as the story unfolds. ¶
