Deliberate as in very obvious and with no subtlety at all. That's what I meant with manipulative. There is nothing natural about the character development. They just get slapped over the head with the most convenient drama they can find and BAAAM, suddenly the character is a bit different. The drama just feels tacked on. They should've just made it as a pure comedy because execution is what they excel in.

That's true, it's like the way Hisomaso only sticks to comedy and doesn't slap you with blown out of proportion melodrama at ay poi--oh, wait, oops.  I'm a fighter pilot, damn it.

I like that Hinamatsuri doesn't just stay in the shallow end of the pool.  I like that the characters go through different things and find new directions.  I like that it just happens without any warning, unlike the total predictability of most anime plot paths, where the Big Evil shows up in episode 6-8 and they save the world in episode 12.  I'll gladly take something that plays by its own rules.

Well, what you like is wrong! :P

Hisomaso has other qualities to it. For example being awesome.
