History Manga / HayateCrossBlade

''Hayate × Blade'' first began in Media Works' ''Dengeki Daioh'' magazine in 2003, but later moved to Shueisha's ''Ultra Jump'' magazine in 2008, where it continued until its conclusion in 2013. It has a total of 18 published volumes and 6 drama [=CDs=]. The first Ultra Jump run concluded with its 110th chronological chapter across both magazines (titled "Overtime," the previous chapter was titled "Final," instead of a sequential number); ''Hayate × Blade 2'', [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo with "2" pronounced as "nyan,"]] began serialization in the October 2013 issue of ''Ultra Jump'' and ended in 2017. It is notable for [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming having the word "baka" in every chapter title]], which has been described by some fans as a reference to not only [[IdiotHero the main character]] but also the whole cast. Written by Shizuru Hayashiya and published in America by Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment, this series is a comedy stuffed full of LesYay.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: No surprise, since practically the entire cast is female, with [[GenkiGirl Hayate]] and [[LovableSexManiac Jun]] being most frequently on the receiving end.
** And Riona tries to invoke this intentionally, but her [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine act]] just ends up being... [[CringeComedy kinda disturbing]].

* [[IHaveYourWife The A-Team Has Your Orphan]]: Akira's fan club decides that the best way to get Hayate to stop spending time with their idol is to kidnap one of the orphans from Dandelion Garden and use her to force Hayate to leave Tenchi. Akira is less than amused.

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Grandparents]]: Ayana's grandfather tricked her into letting him abduct her away from her parents and bring her to a dojo, where he put her through some very traumatic training that essentially involved her using a wooden sword to fend him off as he attacked her with a real katana, forcing her to find a way to stay alive. It only ended when the old bastard's heart gave out.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: As described above, the student council.

Enter Hayate Kurogane, trying to impersonate her twin sister Nagi in the school until Nagi is out of rehabilitation. Initially disinterested in anything outside retaining her sister's scholarship, Hayate resolves to actively take part in battling when she finds out that [[SaveTheOrphanage their old orphanage is 8 million yen in debt]] with the {{Yakuza}}. Seeking out the surly Ayana Mudou, who had fallen from the upper ranks after abandoning battling in general, Hayate embarks on her mission, encountering many characters in the process.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: In her fight with Kurea, Hitsugi, who vastly outclassed her opponent, took to spinning her around a bunch before defeating her.

* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Tenchi Academy's campus is massive. In fact, the campus' official boundaries even include ''[[UpToEleven a small mountain]]''!

* [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Ridiculously Cute Costume]]: The duck costume Hayate dons in volume 5... [[TastesLikeDiabetes induces severe tooth pain upon viewing]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Impressively, nobody really goes out of focus for ''too'' long, and most of these characters are given some sort of depth.

* PantyShot: None, though Jun does mention how she wants to see what lies under certain characters' skirts a dangerous number of times.

* {{Meganekko}}: The A-Team. Yes, all of them.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Very few hair colors can be found on multiple people.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: Hitsugi's pet(?) Donna.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Most, if not all shinyuu.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: All of the sisters-in-arms can arguably be considered this due to the lesbian {{subtext}} between characters such as [[VitriolicBestBuds Ayana and Jun]], Ayana and Mizuchi, [[TheOneThatGotAway Ayana and Yukari]] (see the pattern forming?), [[FoeYay Momoka and Kiji]], and [[IncestIsRelative Jun and Yuho]].

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Arguably, all sisters-in-arms are seen as this by their shippers, although there are also fans who see {{subtext}} between [[VitriolicBestBuds Ayana and Jun]], Ayana and Mizuchi, [[TheOneThatGotAway Ayana and Yukari]] (see the pattern forming?), [[FoeYay Momoka and Kiji]], or [[IncestIsRelative Jun and Yuho]].

Not to be confused with [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler another Hayate]].

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Averted most of the time, but some of the moves pulled by a few characters venture into this territory.

->"Holding the highest of goals and striving for nothing short of absolute excellence... That, ladies, is 'brilliance.' It is well worth it never to let your brilliance dim, ladies. Money. Power. Fame. All these I will give in abundance to the brightest among you."
