Hayate the Combat Butler

Athena is always best girl.

"They're even better when read all together! Volumes 0-44 are on sale now!!"

I'm not sure anyone should ever attempt reading 45 volumes of a single manga series, much less one as stagnant as Hayate, 'all together', in a single sitting, without having some sort of pathological death wish first.

Well, if one chapter takes five minutes to read then that's only, let's see, thirty eight hours or so of straight reading? What kind of sissy can't go that long without eating, sleeping, or going to the bathroom?

Well, to be fair, mangaka already spend like thirty eight hours of nonstop drawing at any single given time, so perhaps they expect the same kind of resiliance from us.

It takes you five minutes to read a chapter? I can usually do it in two to three.

Nineteen hours of reading without breaks is perfectly doable.

No, not really, but it was a nice easy number to work with.

Most Japanese hardcore fans probably take longer to read a chapter because they are fapping to it.

Yes, odds are there's people who fap to Hata's artstyle. Don't think too much about it.

Chapter. Yes, definitely her sister, honest.

Chapter 492:

Wait, so it was Sonia who put Nagi in that not-quite-but-still pinch situation. Heh, good thing Tsugumi was nearby.

Darn you, Risa.

Chapter 493:

Painful life lessons are painful. Well, the methods used are.

Tsugumi's the wind. She comes and goes.

School Trip Level 5: Jungle Fever.

Ah, that's highly likely.

I suspect Tsugumi paid Sonia to do that.

Chapter again! Risa really is unlikable. Stop lying, Saki. Nobody believes you.

School Trip Level 5: Wildlife Snap!

Alone. In the middle of The Amazon. Where nature is brutal. I bet Izumi's gonna win.

I think I'd bet on Risa myself. Normally I'd say Tsugumi but she's probably after more than just money.

Risa already dropped out. Unless she's still hanging around anyway for no reason except to troll Hina further.

But still, you remove her from the contest right before she gets a chance to shoot another giant reptile (tranq guns, cameras, whatever). God damn it Hata.

Oh, right. Who's the most unpleasant person left in the running then?

Nagi, I suppose.

Normally she would be destined for failure but she's in the race specifically to screw over Hayate and this Tsugumi girl that's here to advance the plot is helping her so yeah, decent odds of that. Wonder if she's Yozora's boss?

Rereading the manga. Forgot how unlikable Nagi was during Ruka's arc. Doesn't help that after chapter 260 or so I feel like the manga wants me to take her ship seriously. Ew. Well, not like shipping matters in this series.

Chapter 387 is still the best chapter. Ah, antihumor.

Chapter. And oh right, Yukiji is here. That makes her the most unpleasant person left, though Nagi's ulterior motives might still give her the edge!

And I don't get the parody!

Chapter. Yukiji got the loan card. All hope is lost.

Victory for Aika. That spider will never again rise from the ashes of its defeat. And Hayate is surprisingly clever sometimes.

Chapter 495:

Nailed it.

Isumi's heart is too pure, then.

Chapter 496:

Either Chiharu has a hard head, or Isumi saved her with magic.

Alone. In the middle of the jungle. At night. Bugs. Aika won't lose to them! And she didn't. But strike one down, and many will take its place. Is her spine sturdy enough to vanquish the night!?

Hayate, you fiend! Hm, but it seems he has a reason for doing that.

Izumi manages to stay relevant to my interests by being an ultimate M.

Hayate is unlucky as usual.

Chapter 497: Spoken like a true villain, Hayate.

Chapter 498: However, Yukiji is even more villainous. The terrorists are just sideshows.

Chapter 499: I pity the terrorists, for they are gonna Die Hard.

The head terrorist oozes so much Bison.

Ayumu and Alice, watching an iconic movie together. Hehe.

I love how they use THE SAME FRAME for the terrorist leader whenever he has to say something. XD

Chapter. Well, I foresee NDC getting mad at Hayate for being self aware.
