Such a bummer to discover that the actress playing Hinaka-chan (Miyuki Kanbe) has already passed away at very young age... RIP.

That's fair. Tension keeps viewers wanting to come back.
I just think that Hibiki's warmer vibes helps it be more unique. Coming off the backs of Faiz and Blade, a series with a more relaxed tone was a welcome change.
I also like that unlike other series that try to go for a less intense story, Hibiki doesn't just fall back on slapstick. It's really just a more slice of life season.

Also, I didn't know she had passed away. That's awful...

Actually, I did stop at the warning. Hibiki 29 is a perfect cap to the series. While it doesn't answer the question about the mystery man, it ending with the group holding a little celebration at the end of a successful victory was just quite nice~
