Oh hey, its the japanese gooner's mecca. Wasn't expecting that.
I wonder if something about their universe being a gag-a-day comic makes relationship progress intrinsically impossible for them.
Tsukino has shown that she’s able to remember stuff from previous days,/the series isn’t completely episodic so I think it IS possible, it’s just that Hinami keeps fumbling hard and her attempts at wooing seem to be moreso jokes than a serious, genuine attempt/show of her feelings for Tsukino
I didn't mean amnesia or resetting between successive days/comics. Don't know where you got that from, it's obvious this series has lot of continuity. I meant that cause they're characters in a gag-a-day comic, then every day/comic must end with a gag. It's probably pretty hard to seriously court someone when your every interaction with them has to end in a punchline. Not that she doesn't try mind you, in todays comic for example, taking her to The Pool famous for people fucking in it is an honestly not very subtle way of saying she wants to fuck Tsukino. It is clearly meant as flirting, just also done in a way that generates a laugh from the audience. She's trying her best within the limits of her reality.
Hinami can leave the comic's universe, and has godlike powers within it, but she doesn't seem to be able to change the nature of the comic itself as being a comedy. It seems more like, when she's in the comic, shes beholden to its nature as comedic. She can't just choose to stop setting up jokes and seriously confess to Tsukino, because making jokes is just an intrinsic aspect of being the Boke character in a gag-a-day manga. So she's just biding her time until she the day she can take Tsukino to "the real world" too, where she'll be able to express her feelings sincerely.
Or maybe none of that is true and she just likes gags. Who knows. But it would definitely explain some of her behaviour if it is the case.
