Recap / Hayate The Combat Butler Volume 5

With the start of this volume, all of the primary cast has been introduced, save for a few that aren't mentioned until much later. Thus, the series begins doing short arcs with little continuity: Ayumu competing with Nagi in karaoke, Hayate retrieving Nagi's notebook from Hakuou (which suddenly becomes a haunted house), Hayate trying to develop a "secret deadly technique", etc. Chapters included:

• "Defeated, but Still Fighting"
• "I Won't Forget You Were the Voice Actor in Art of Fighting"
• "Arrested for Breaking a Window at the School at Night"
• "Elohim Essaim, Lets Recite a Charm!!"
• "Mr.Cow, Mr. Cow! - What Is It, Mr. Frog?"
• "I Like Reading Books, but I Don't Know How to Make Use of Them"
• "Let's Sing at Ryugujo"
• "Saki-san's Ambition (Whole Country Version)"
• "Raging Waves"
• "Titanic Episode 4—With a Vegeance"
• "Nagi - Andalusia's Winter"

Tropes:

• What Did You Expect When You Named It ____?: Sakuya has a cruise ship called the Titanic. Surprise, it sinks.
