I agree. People should pay more attention to this series.
Maybe people don't focus on this series because it is about two almost naked fat boys fighting each other.
In all honesty appart from the subject, there is nothing really original in the serie so far. It follows the shounen tropes respectfully.
It is announced that Hinomaru Zumou going to get a vomic on next month.
The cast for upcoming Hinomaru Zumou vomic is announced:
I'm liking this so far (though I've only read 1 chapter). Has the author been doing this for a long time?
A lot of the art has that "smooth" look a lot of manga have nowadays, but the character designs and expressions remind me of manga from days gone bye. Sorta like if Akira Miyashita tried to make his art style more "modern" or something.
Has the author been doing this for a long time?
This is the author's first serialization.
Okay yeah this manga is going WAY too fast for comfort. It's not even chapter 20 and he's already got the best mixed martial artist in Japan and he's already fighting the guy who made him quit in middle school.
I have to wonder how long Kawata's planning to make this. There's only so many more obstacles Hinomaru can overcome before this starts to get really silly.
From someone that reads the raws, the story has still a lot, a LOT to show, and in Japan the manga is in chapter 34. So relax and enjoy the ride!
About the thing of him fighting against the guy that made him quit in middle school, try to remember why he gave up in middle school and why he is returning now in High School. It his all to do with stature and a way to fight against the difference of it. Just that!
He already surpassed that difference, has we saw him defeating the middle school Yokozuna. The problem with this guy has more to do with trauma than anything else. Treating him early on is a good thing, because will let him move forward against more important people(like the High School Veterans!).
I think it would've been better had Kawata waited a little longer with the middle school dude to put in some more buildup, but fair enough.
But since Hinomaru is pretty much THE BEST already, who else is really left to stand in his way? The dude with the long hair, the dude from middle school, and maybe another few "middle/high school yokozuna/oozeki".
The problem here is that since he's already so close to the top, there's not THAT much more he can develop (especially seeing as how he even beat THE BEST wrestler in ALL OF JAPAN already) without increasingly ridiculous Toriko-esque roadblocks that remove any grounding in reality the manga has.
I'll keep an eye on the series as it progresses, though. I'm just not going to expect great things from it (but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it delivers).
He isn't the BEST already! He is pretty damn good, but not close to the best. Opposite with mangas like Kuroko no Basket where the guys from middle school come and start beating people in the 3rd year like it is nothing. That is not the case. There is still a lot of way to go. They didn't even entered the prefecture tournament.
This manga still didn't went to the ridiculous levels, nor even closer. And I hope it never goes.
Also did you read well about the game against the number 1 wrestling guy? And the chapter when he is training with them?
Their game was super unfair, because Hinomaru was playing by Sumo rules and him by Wrestling. He could easily win against Hinomaru, but he decided not to do locks and subjugation. Also due to in Wrestling a person not loosing by just falling, he wasn't prepared for that, Hinomaru in one recent chapter even warns him about that. Also when he lost, he could very well just get up because he was by the wrestling rules. He decided not to do that.
Right now we have the middle School Yokozuna(and his team), that has more stamina than Hinomaru and the Son of the last Japanese Yokosuna(and his school that his the king of their region even without him).
I'll concede that he's not pretty much THE BEST when he actually loses against a 2nd/3rd year or someone that's not a super special ace/yokozuna/whatever. So far he's just been steamrolling everyone in his path regardless of who they are.
An even without using cheap moves, Chihiro is still number one in Japan at what he does; is it really too much to expect that he'd be able to win with his own power? And if he just let Hinomaru win, that would mean he wasn't taking the match seriously.
I thought jump mangaka planned their succesful series to last about 5 volumes initially, if things go well and they let him keep going with the story maybe he'll go the same way Ippo did and have the MC start in the pro world after the high school saga/arc ends. If you think about it like that there's still a lot of places this story can go.

It would be just professional arc for this series.

Why is him using wrestling moves cheap when he is a wrestler?
He almost won with his power.
Is not about him just letting Hinomaru win. The thing is that the rules for wrestling and Sumo are totally different. In the chapter Chihiro even thought about that. Every time that Hinomaru took him down he would reset the game and start another bout, because in Sumo that is the end of the game. In Wrestling that is not the objective and somebody just falling to the floor means basically nothing. Chihiro, unless if he got knocked out, would never loose against Hinomaru because of that. The sister of the Karate guy even said it, and asked why he didn't he fought like normal wrestling and why he said he was defeated. It was everything very well explained.
Chihiro is god dam strong, Hinomaru is too, but Chihiro how is he right now wouldn't defeat Hinomaru in Sumo, while Hinomaru would also not defeat him in Wrestling. Just that.
Hinomaru is super damn strong, but is like you're saying that there is no more challenge because he defeated the Middle School Yokozuna(where Hinomaru passed out because of that match) and defeated the Number 1 Wrestler in a strange mixed rules battle.
This were 2 wins against 2 very strong opponents, but one is like a Sumo beginner in High School, with a lot of improvement in his way, and the other one doesn't even know well about Sumo.

Do you mean 5 years? 5 volumes is only like 50 chapters.
Why is him using wrestling moves cheap when he is a wrestler?
Assuming you're specifically talking about those ones he could've used but didn't: Why wouldn't he use them if they weren't? Chihiro wanted to utterly defeat Hinomaru; using those moves would just be taking the easy road out.

Assuming I'm not misremembering, there's only one middle school Yokozuna at a time. In all of Japan. So by beating Sada, it implies that he's the best sumo wrestler (for their age). In all of Japan.
In a pure sumo match, Hinomaru would obviously beat Chihiro; that I'm not arguing. If we're gonna argue power levels, though, and assume that Hinomaru is now THE BEST at sumo in Japan (since he beat Sada), I guess that would make him and Chihiro stand on an even playing field (well, rules aside) since they're then THE BEST in their respective fields of martial arts.
Which brings me back to my original point of there not being many more sensible milestones to pass before this manga starts to get really silly.
I don't want to be spoiled since I'm following raws, but I can say that Hinomaru actually isn't best since it introduced much stronger opponents later on.

It sounds like you are completely forgot about Kuze.

His is the BEST in Japan in his age. High School has 3 entire years! He is just in the 1st, also Sada! For example the son of the Last Japanese Yokozuna isn't a 1st year either, nor that small guy in his team.
Also you're removing Sada of the equation already. Sada is still Hinomaru rival. Than you Have the son of the Japanese Yokozuna, than you have the midget from his team, than you have all the senpais the their team(Japanese Yokozuna and midget team). Than is not hard to had 1 or 2 good teams in their prefecture. Than you have Nationals, where you have teams of various places of the country with 3rd and 2nd years and maybe even 1st years that didn't got to become Yokozuna in middle school, but since than improved more.
You're totally disregarding that they are in Highschool now and that they are rookies(freshmen). Is like 2nd year and 3rd year doesn't exist to you. You know the 3rd years and 2nd years also got a Yokozuna in middle school in their old times, those guys after entering Highschool got 2 to 1 year of improvement and one of them got to be the Yokozuna of Highschool. And you also have people that for some reason or the other didn't do Sumo in Middle School, like Chihiro, and they can be from 1st to 3rd years now.
Why are you already freaking about the scale of things when we were only presented to the district preliminaries, where it was presented 1 excellent team(Example: Kuroko at that point presented none, Haikyuu!! doesn't even have a district phase) with Sada. The best team of Kanto was referred and with it 2 bench players. We were shown to Chihiro the best wresler, and now we are at the beginners tournament of their district. How are you already foreseeing silliness? There is a lot of stuff and characters to be presented yet.
Also by the detail and care in choreography that the author shows in this manga, the only way to go isn't increase power levels.
For example the son of the Last Japanese Yokozuna isn't a 1st year either, nor that small guy in his team.
They are 1st year as well.
@Kaizou:

Nah, I just count him as one of those milestones he has to pass like the middle school dude. It's obvious that he and Hinomaru are going to fight, but either Hinomaru's gonna get curbstomped early on (and therefore get even more motivation to beat him later) or Kuze's just gonna some kinda final boss.
Also you're removing Sada of the equation already. Sada is still Hinomaru rival.
Sada's his rival, yeah, but I'd be very surprised if he actually beat Hinomaru in their future matches (though I can't say I wouldn't like it).
You're totally disregarding that they are in Highschool now and that they are rookies(freshmen). Is like 2nd year and 3rd year doesn't exist to you.

Seniority =/= automatically being better. Someone who's pretty much THE BEST in all of Japan among first years is definitely gonna be able to take most 2nd or third years (and once again, I'll concede that he's not the best when he loses against someone that isn't super special with a fancy name or whatever).
And most newbies that didn't do it in middle school would have a hard time against those that did. Chihiro would be more the exception than the rule.

Because of how fast it's moving. It's pace doesn't seem like it's being made for longevity without adding ridiculousness.

Hinomaru can take most of 2nd or 3rd years, but they will not be same level as Sada or Kuze. There going to be much stronger 2nd/3rd years coming soon and we're not sure how big the power difference between Hinomaru and Kokuhou-level 2nd/3rd years.

Every Jump series moves fast at the early stage. As the story progresses, the story begins to much slower and start having more longer arc. So, don't freak out about Hinomaru being fast paced at early stage.

Indeed. We'll just have to wait and see.

That is generally the case, but this is going fast even by Jump standards (though at least it's not going SWOT-tier levels of speed).
Indeed. We'll just have to wait and see.
The recent chapters (I'm talking about raw) introduce strongest player in Japan and it also shows that Hinomaru may isn't invincible after all. You shouldn't really judge the series based on the characters introduced in beginning. There are plenty of new strong players introduce in the future. So, there are plenty of development left for some series.

Not really. Eyeshield 21 was really went fast at the beginning (as same speed as Hinomaru). But, it went gradually slow as it progresses. So, it really isn't fast in Jump standards.
@Galaxy:
Hey man. I appreciate the Raws but i'm at chapter 20. The most recent updated translations. Would it be too much to ask for the other Raws from there?

All of them can be found here.
But.. if you want the clean ones I've provided for the recent chapters, let me know and I can get those within the next few days.
I don't get it why the Fallen Angel Scanlation group is so slow. Translations are done up to chapter 37 and Hinomaru Zumou is way more enjoable than My Hero Academia. I thought it was a non-profit driven group but it seems to be the second mangastream. First they announced they will release the MHA chapters after the viz release but that was apparently just bullshit. Instead of releasing a licensed series they should invest their time on a non licensed series. I really miss the old times when scanlations were not profit oriented

Really appreciated man. Yeah, if its not too much trouble, I'd also appreciate the clean raws.

As a member of Fallen Angels and proofreader of both MHA and HZ, what I can tell you is this:
The team is short on staff for HZ, and so the cleaning and editing are moving slowly compared to MHA.
The few times when MHA releases before the Viz version is due to unfamiliarity with the technology being used, causing mistakes and potential for leaks.
Fallen Angels is a non-profit scanlation group who are trying their best to adhere to the wishes of the translators. We do not receive money for anything we do.
We would greatly appreciate help from anyone who is interested in helping out with Hinomaru Zumou.

Now THAT was a good chapter. It's obvious Yuuma's gonna get rekt, but I'm so hype I don't care.
I really hope Kawada keeps up the focus on other characters besides Hinomaru. I really like how he does it.

Ushio is in full beast mode
new chapter
http://bato.to/read/_/336076/hinomaru-zumou_ch31_by_fallen-angels
What Ushio saw was only an illusion?
Go back to your own manga Aizen!!!!
new chapter
http://bato.to/read/_/338921/hinomaru-zumou_ch32_by_fallen-angels
Rina? what is she doing there? did she follow Ushio to comfort him or to kick while he's down?
http://bato.to/read/_/343033/hinomaru-zumou_ch33_by_fallen-angels
so Rina didn't want comfort him nor to kick while he's down, she's just curious about him
also, the obligatory glasses-kun from every sport manga ever appears
http://bato.to/read/_/344255/hinomaru-zumou_ch34_by_fallen-angels
so Kirihito is gonna be their coach? that was unexpected
I'm guessing Rina eventually gonna become their manager since she can't stay away from the club
It kinda cracks me up that every other sports series has a teenage coach and basically no adults.
