And here comes the random scans from the 17th volume of the Hayate no Gotoku manga, which was mostly about Hayate’s past, and how he met with his childhood girlfriend Athena-chan (who has been mentionned occasionally since the 9th volume). No need to mention that if you hate major spoilers, don’t scroll down.

COPYPASTA MODE ON !

After losing the last bit of love and respect he had for his father, Hayate’s mind goes blank and he starts running aimlessly until he collapses in a huge garden. And the boy meets the girl…

And the girl’s name is Athena Tennousu. Scary eyes o_o;

From a previous HnG post :

Hayate and Athena (Aa-tan), his childhood girlfriend.
WHERE DID I SEE THAT FACE BEFORE ?

Finally the pic on the back cover was totally misleading, and I must say I was nicely surprised that in fact Athena isn’t Maria. Hehe you got me Hata-sensei XD

She lives in CastleVania. :o

Athena, feeling that Hayate lost his will of live, asks him if he wants to be her butler.

Hayate suddenly starts calling Athena “Aa-tan”.
A : “What’s the deal with that Aa-tan thing ?”
H : “Eh ? That’s your nickname ! Athena, in short ‘Aa-tan'”
A : “Why does the number of characters raises
when you make it short ?!”
A : “But it’s ok, if you become my butler I will forgive you”
Lovely smile~ <3

Kisu~
Their ahoge connect when kissing. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Also, Athena is quite precocious. :o

Aww they just met but slept together while holding hands.

Athena asks for a morning kiss, but Hayate
doesn’t really get the message…
Hayate : “Does your head hurt ?”
Athena : “That’s not it ! W- Well… I gave you
a lot (of kiss) yesterday, didn’t I ?”
Dekkai hazukashii serifu~
Even I was embarrased when reading that. XD

Kisu~
Wow they’re living just like a cute little couple.
And here starts “Hayate the mini combat-butler” XD

At first, Hayate fails at work…

Athena –who just came out
from the bath– : “Put off some of your clothes”
Hayate : “… HA ? ///” XD
Athena decides to make him an efficiant butler by giving him the incredibly strong body he has now.

A couple of pages later, Hayate loses his way in the huge castle and ends up in a place that he should had not have entered…

Right page : scary ._.
Thankfully Athena rapidly comes to her senses, and tells Hayate that she will show him something more interesting…

Athena shows to Hayate a magic mirror which has the power to show people the viewer knows. Since Maria is appearing, does it mean that Athena met Maria-san before ? Or is it just because the author felt again like drawing loli Maria just like on the back cover ? XD

Athena is angry at Hayate cause he said the girl in the mirror was super cute~ XD
She’s such a tsundere :)

H : “Because I… love you… Aa-tan…”
A : “… I can’t hear you… with this voice…”
H : “Eh ?”
A : “I can’t hear you with such a low voice ! If you want to say my name, then say it louder ! From here ! So that you can hear it throughout the world !”
H : “AA-TAN !”
A : “… L-… Louder !”
H : “AA-TAN !!!”
H : (I wonder how many times I have shouted)
<3 <3 <3

You really don’t want their happy little days to end, but…

Athena teachs swordsmanship to Hayate.

A : “One day, you too will be able to use this sword.”

Kisu~
Damn, they’re cute XD

Even if Hayate doesn’t care about his father anymore, he starts missing his mother.

Athena tells Hayate how to go out from the castle, but makes him promise to come back immediately after seeing his mother. <3 <3 <3

Once outside the castle, Hayate suddenly meets… loli Izumi ! :o

Thanks to the power he got from Athena, Hayate kicks the dog who was menacing Izumi away.

Izumi : “Since you saved me, let me give you something
in return~ <3”

Kisu~
haha, what a girl magnet XD
Izumi : “See you later, Hayata-kun~”
Finally Hayate doesn’t get the chance to see his mother and goes back to the castle…

They don’t sleep while holding hands because she saw Hayate being kissed thanks to the mirror XD
Left page : <3 <3 <3

H : “Don’t you want to live with me outside the castle ?”
omg deh cuteness <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Athena doesn’t understand why Hayate wants to go back living at his parents’ house, and Hayate tells her that he thinks he can make them change like he changed himself.

After that Athena refused to go live outside the castle with him, Hayate once again leaves the castle and walk aimlessly in the streets, until he meets again with Izumi. He tells her his problems with Athena, and Izumi suggests that he should make her a present for making up.

And that’s how Hayate began to work for money~

Athena gives him a ring in return.
I wonder where is that ring now… :o

Hayate leaves again the castle for telling his parents about Athena, and here ends this volume. OMG TEASER !

In the omake manga, Nagi asks the cast about faults they made in the past.
Hinagiku : “Long ago when I was a child,
Okaa-san was… Oka-… T_T ”
Maybe a hint that next volume will have a large part
about Hinagiku’s past ?

Next volume is released in two weeks in Japan.

MANY TEARS WILL BE SHED.

While I’m at it, quick post for posting some Hyakko scans (viva copy-pasta !).

Just something I need to say first : Hyakko is, with Hayate no Gotoku, my favorite manga from everything I’m reading now. One of the funniest manga I’ve read recently, and it has some bit of yuri, which makes it one of the best slice-of-life manga evar.

Yay scans~

– Volume 2

I’m particularly fond of Torako and Tatsuki’s relationship. <3
“gya-… gyakugire !” XD

Suzu luvs Tatsuki’s (adult) pantsu~

Again, a bunch of new characters got introcued, like Chie the cute robot-maniac, and Inori the girl who never had any friends cause she is frikkin scary XD

T : “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING ?!”
S : “Torako will die in one week… T_T ”
XD

T : “Suzu, you’re not telling her your phone number ?”
S : “W-… Won’t I be cursed or something ?”
I : “…fufufu”
T : “DENY IT !”
I : “Ah, y- yes. I won’t curse my friends, you know…”
lol~

Minato, Suzu’s rival XD
And yet another girl who wants Torako badly <3

The volume ends with a long chapter about Tohma, introducing her and her relationship with the crew. This chapter was awesome on many levels, really well written IMO and full of love & piece (and yuri vibes).

That’s so the kind of scene you could actually see
in a yuri manga <3 <3 <3
Simply great. Also, Touma is now my fav character in Hyakko,
she’s so hawt. <3

– Volume 3

Volume 3 got a bit of drama, since it introduced
Torako’s brother and sister.
I must say that I wub Oniyuri
and her relationship with Torako <3 <3 <3
Also, Suzu <3 <3 <3

The second half was like always great comedy.
Suzu XD

First effect : LOL~ XD
Second effect : Hitsugi is cute <3 <3 <3
She was making her best at not laughing in front of everyone but couldn’t handle it anymore because of Torako’s crazyness~

ROFL XD

I wish I could watch the anime…

Been a while I didn’t post some HnG scans and write something in english, so in-before a post about the epic 17h volume that I just have read, here comes random scans for the 14th, 15th and 16th volumes~

– Volume 14

from the previous HnG post :

From the preview of the next volume, it seems that the next extreme love & piece event will be… SAKUYA EVENT !!!

Heh, the preview was finally pretty misleading, cause it was only showing the panel in which she’s saying “but I really like that part of you”… Well, rather, I so wanted to see some Hayate x Sakuya to happen that I didn’t think a single second that this line would be aimed at somebody else orz

No need to mention that I don’t really approve this turn of events (I feel like it’s an easy way for Hata-sensei to get ‘rid’ of 2 side-characters from the love equation), but well I have to respect the author’s choice… In fact it was just a ‘minor event’ which apparantly didn’t have any consequences on their relationship in the end, but still I have to consider Saku x Wataru to be a possible pairing now… :/

In that scene, Hayate casually reveals that he has an older brother, and that there is a quite large age difference between the two of them.

Well… Guessing Hata-sensei’s way of thinking and considering the “Maria-san is Hayate’s childhood girlfriend” thing, my 25 cents that Hayate’s onii-san is Nagi’s former butler (what was his name again… Himegami ?). On a side note, this scene also reveals that Sakuya always wanted a big brother (one other than Gilbert. XD ), or more exactly that she always wanted to say ‘onii-chan’. XD Bro-con Saku moe~

Again, there was a large part of Ayu & Hina being buddy-buddy <3
Hehe this kind of scenes has always reminded me of FFVII (Yuffie~ <3)

Haha, Wataru is getting his own harem too~ XD
After Saki, Sister, Nagi (?), and Sakuya, he now gets his hand on the very cute Aika-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Moar Wataru x Aika-san
I really found Aika-san to be one of the cutest girls in HnG <3

Tsundere Maria-san XD

“When I was on my way searching for Ojou-sama… How could it have turned into such a tragedy ?!”
Rather than tragedy I would say BEST ENDING EVAR

– Volume 15

Now that Hayate and his harem are second-year students,
cute kouhai appear~
Fumi-chan, super cute and super baka <3 <3 <3

This volume contained a chapter about Maria’s days as Hakuoh’s seitokaichou.
Loli Maria-san saabisu~ o_o

– Volume 16

Kaoru-sensei chapter.
Joshikousei Yukiji : OMG DEH CUTENESS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

When Saku runs away from home, she goes to see Hayate
instead of Nagi. <3
First panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The second half of the book was all about Izumi,
and it was all greatness.
Izumi is deh love <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Damn that is even worse than School Rumble… Hinagiku, Ayumu, Sakuya or Izumi ??? I definitely can’t choose the one who must get the happy end :/

See ya for next volume, about Hayate’s past and the end of the world…

:beer:

(le post précedent était le 50ème, w00t~)

Time for some HnG goodness again, and these three volumes were sure full of it.

Hayate volume 11 = DAI SAABISU~ !

Hamzawa-san <3

Isumi °_°
<3 <3 <3

SAKU ! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Iinchou-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
moar Red-chan plz.

Isumi-mama, quite a milf. <3 <3 <3

But this volume wasn’t all about skin-showing, it also had one quite love & piece Hamzawa-san scene, answering to volume 10’s Hinagiku extreme love & piece moment.

Many <3s
Hamzawa-san is deh love.

It really does need more Izumi events, and not only on the back cover.

Hayate volume 12 : aliens ? in my Hayate no Gotoku ?

Regardless, this volume delivered the most awesome scene in the whole manga.

WARNING : AMAZING HINAGIKU X HAMZAWA-SAN SCENE INCOMING

The whole HnG cast (separately) decides to go to an onsen, and everybody ends up in the same onsen (lol coincidences).

While Hina is wondering if she must tell Ayumu about her feelings for Hayate, Ayumu asks for skinship. <3 <3 <3

Hina : “W- What ? ///”
Ayumu : “Nothing, I was just thinking that you have a nice skin…”
Hina : “ha… ?”
Ayumu : “Wow your hair are so silky too…”
Hina keeps worrying and ends up collasping in the onsen.

Here begins legendary scene.

H : “… where are we ?”
A : “In the dressing room. You collapsed…”
H : “Oh, I see… thanks for looking after me.”
A : “Eh ? iya there’s no need to thank me…”
A : “Actually I’m used to it. Long ago when I took baths with my little brother, he often went dizzy and collasped…”
H : “You’re a kind onee-san who take good care of
your little brother.” <<< she looks so cute here <3 <3 <3
A : “Eh ? iya~ that’s just the normal thing to do…”
A : “But you really do have a nice skin.”
H : “Eh ?”
A : “Ah, you don’t remember ? Actually, when I wiped your body with the towel, I got worked up a little…”

H : “!!”
H : “………. I can’t be a bride anymore… T_T ”
A : “haha, don’t exaggerate… Ah, jaa I will make you my wife then.”
H : “Baka, and what are you doing about Hayate-kun then ?”
A : “Oh, yeah…”
A : “jaa, bigamy ?
H : “mou…”

Man I was melting here… Ayumu = deh loveness, Hina = deh cuteness <3

H : “(I… can’t lie to her… I don’t want to lie to her…)”
H : “(So…) Nishizawa-san !!”

A : “Weren’t you calling me Ayumu so far ?”
H : “… ///”
H : “(This is the first time in my life that my heart unconsciously flutters because of a girl…) ” <<< <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 and many more

H : “(I have to clearly tell her…) Well then, Ayumu !!!”
H : “I have something to tell you… Something important to tell you…”
A : “Eh ? Something important ?”
H : “Yes ! Actually I…”
A : “Err wouldn’t you mind talking about it somewhere else ?”
H : “!!”
grannies : “(ara so cute~) (ah the youth~)”

XD
Just amazing <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
How can’t you want them to be together forever ?

All that Hina x Ayu thing was great, but let’s not forget about Miki.
Need moar Blue-chan.

Hayate luvz Nagi’s soft little ass :o
Even I found that scene too indecent XD

Miki got a return gift during White Day for the chocolate she gave to Hina during Valentine Day. Nice <3 <3 <3

Nagi playing Iori’s route in iM@S, lol seiyuu reference~

gero gero gerorin~

Volume 13 : Sakuya’s birthday is approaching. I said it before in the previous HnG, but my love for Saku keeps growing at full speed for some reason. I don’t remember since when exactly, but I think it started when I played her route in the first NDS game (“Hayate no Gotoku Boku ga Romeo de Romeo ga Boku de”). Never before that I actually considered her as a potential lover for Hayate and she used to be my least favorite (mostly because there are too much awesome characters already so I was always forgetting about Saku orz), but when I saw her all lovey-dovey with Hayate I found that totally refreshing and cute.

All this for saying that Saku is now one of my favs, and for introducing the following scan :

left page, first panel : “If you can make me roar of laughter from the bottom of my heart then it’s fine.”
Saku = most charming smile in HnG <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
No need to mention that it made my love for her grow like crazy.

moar Saku <3
It’s been a moment already, but Saku now calls Hayate by his first name instead of Ayasaki or ‘Shakkin Hitsuji’. Also, in one random chapter in which Nagi is busy with a mecha-Hayate (!), Sakuya was casually reading books in Hayate’s room while he was doing his homeworks :o
They sure became quite a pair of buddies.
Left page : omg a Risa chapter ! It was quite the lulz XD

RISA FLAG GETTO !?
Man I wasn’t expecting something like that to happen at all XD

With all the awesome Hina x Ayumu goodness from the previous volume and the recurrent bit of Hayate x Saku sweetness spreaded here and there in almost every chapters, I tend to forget that my second fav is supposed to be Isumi… but she’s so unused, and the few chapters she’s in generally lacks of interest and are nothing near the great Isumi route in the first HnG NDS game. Most of the time she’s only here for cosplay and comical relief, and this chapter was a good exemple of that. orz
But still… That blushing face of her is damn cute <3 <3 <3

Saku : “ok then I’ll learn you the true spirit of a maid”
Hayate : “yay~ then you will dress into a maid too, Sakuya-san ?”
Saku : “…”
Saku : “Oh that’s right, that’s right… You love maids very much don’t you, Butler-in-debt ?”
Hayate : “(She’s smilling but I feel like I’ve lost a lot of love points…)”
haha she does call him shakkin hitsuji when she’s angry XD

Isumi still cosplaying~
Saku XD

End of the chapter.
Maria : “We have been totally forgotten…”
Nagi : “Yup, as much as a pink-haired meganekko with big breasts in a group of 4 persons.”
XD
Even though she appeared before, this was also Haruko’s introduction chapter, serious and reliable member of the seitokai when at school, and Sakuya’s silly moe maid when outside school XD

Hamzawa-san saabisu~
Well, that had to happen XD

From the preview of the next volume, it seems that the next extreme love & piece event will be… SAKUYA EVENT !!!

Looks like Hata-sensei will make a chapter about her birthday. Man I just can’t wait to read it.

For ending this post; bought some stuffs last week :

The freshly released third Lucky Star Comic à la Carte book I’ve ordered last week got delivered. As the previous one, this book has the delicate scent of lily~ <3

Also… Bought Seto no Hanayome manga 13 volumes package. orz

Well actually it was terribly cheap, so my card didn’t shed so much tears… the only problem is that I’m really lacking of room for all these books… I’m buying way too much orz

But well… I guess I’m compensating for the fact I don’t have internet anymore…

A couple of days ago I killed again some time at the japanese library, and came across this manga :

Actually, I did check that manga before some weeks ago after seeing an article in Newtype about the freshly aired anime adaptation, but I only took a quick look at it and didn’t read a single bit of the story because of its ‘peculiar’ chara design… orz

So when I came across this manga again yesterday, I finally decided to give it a read thanks to a post I saw on an imageboard… and I ended up reading the first volume entirely, because it was frikkin’ GREAT.

Yet another awesome all-girls slice of life manga, Hyakko is about the everyday-life of Torako, some very energetic and crazy girl, and her 3 friends. Somewhat à la School Rumble, their classmates are eventually introduced and the manga grows more and more crazy.

The four main heroines : Torako the baka, Tatsuki the ojou-sama, Suzume the fushigi-chan, and Ayumi the moe shy girl. The character-design can be a turn-off at first, but personally (ironically enough), now that I’m familiar with the characters and the story, I finally find the design to be kind of cool.

Tatsuki is the serious one in the crew, but she actually gets caught up in Torako’s pace quite easily, resulting in some hilarious scenes.

Ayumi : “Actually I don’t have a big appetite…”
Torako : “…”
Torako : *pushes the ‘add extra’ button*

Ayumi : “Tatsuki-san didn’t take an extra…”
Tatsuki : “Any complaint ?”
Torako : *trying to push the ‘add extra’ button*
lol~ XD
Like every baka characters, Torako can’t help herself not to press every buttons she sees.

So far my favorite is Suzume, and that scene explicitly shows one of the reasons why I wub her.

Torako : “… man, you suck.”
Ushio : “Who cares ?! Karaoke are all about singing, that’s all ! What about you ? You’re talkin but can you even sing ?”
Torako : “OoOOooOo ! I’ll make ya cry and apologize !”
Torako :*singing atrociously*
Ushio : “You just suck too finally !!!”
The karaoke scene, many lulz~

The art class chapter was both funny and HAWT
Also, Nene = w00t gachiyuri iinchou~

Torako : “If it’s you, Suzu, I wouldn’t mind giving up my virginity. I’ll give ya even my first kiss”
muchu~
Torako : “BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA ! Don’t do it for real !!!”
I was already convinced by this manga, but that last chapter was a finishing blow <3 <3 <3
Suzume FTW.

Torako is hot <3

In short : awesome characters + all-girl manga + slice of life + yuri + crazyness = must-read.

:beer:

moar random scans~

“But me who share the same blood as her… I feel like the time when guys were gathering around me is moving away years by years… !!”

Hmmm… So they really are sisters, it’s confirmed later in a chapter that tells a bit about Hina’s past… Dunno, feel a little bit disappointed since she’s not exactly like Hayate (he didn’t have a big brother/sister he could rely on… ok Yukiji isn’t reliable at all but still XD)… and man they look so nothing like each others :o

Ha : “I don’t have the requirements for having a girlfriend”
Hi : “… why ?”
Ha : “I don’t have the ability to rear a girl”
Ha : “If a boy want to date a girl, he must have the ability to keep her safe from troubles during her whole life !”
Ha : “That’s what my previous girlfriend told me !”

Hayate’s first love… well I feel like she’ll definitely appear eventually, but Hata-sensei doesn’t plan to add her in the Hayate x Hina x Ayumu x Maria whole thing, does he ???
Left page : judging how Izumi is blushing, she sures luvs Hayata-kun a lot <3
Well that’s nothing new, just that it makes me want to see more Hayate x Iinchou-san events <3 <3 <3
… Man they really should make a gyaruge… an Izumi route is badly needed.

Maria-san joins the clan of the ‘abandoned children’, but why do I feel not surprised at all ? Maybe because it’s so “Maria-san” like. I mean, like, it’s just natural for characters like Maria-san to have this kind of past, I guess. I just hope it won’t give an handicap to Hamzawa-san, not being an abandoned child ^^;

Nagi x Wataru, tsundere x tsundere.
Seeing this, I do feel like it’s a plausible ending, and I definilety approve of it. I find them rather cute <3

Actually, I just hope it won’t end with a Hayate x Nagi ending… Nagi should be with Isumi or Wataru and let Hayate spend quality time with the other girls… For some reason I just can’t think of Nagi as a potential lover for Hayate.

Volume 10 has more info about Hina’s past, like how Yukiji and her met the Katsura family. Loli Yukiji :o

Pawaa of flawaa~ XD
Badass Hina is hot, and she’s quite an awesome cool-dere too. <3

Warning : awesome Hinagiku-san event incoming :

“Ima… youyaku wakatta.
Watashi… kono hito no koto ga suki nan da.”
kita kita kita kiTA KITAAAAA !!!!!!!
I’m definitely in love with Hinagiku.
Last page : lovely Saki-san as a bonus~

Chapter 100 : Britney-chan is HAWT

Hayate’s Britney-chan is kind of cute too.

yay Maria-san chapter, it’s been a while.
Right page : deh hotness <3

Maria finally shows a bit of her strenght <3

LAST MINUTE UPDATE :

Yesterday I bought the freshly released Hayate volume 17 (and the 16th for finally completing the collection).

On the back of the book, there is actually a pic of Hayate’s childhood girlfriend I mentionned earlier, the mysterious Aa-tan. :o And well, that just confirms everything I was thinking of it :

Hayate and Athena (Aa-tan), his childhood girlfriend.
WHERE DID I SEE THAT FACE BEFORE ?

I actually had a hunch that she might be Maria-san, and that picture seems to confirm it (well that or that she may be Aerith’s reincarnation XD). I mean, the author just couldn’t add another potential lover to Hayate, so making Maria-san to be the childhood girlfriend was the most logical option.

On a more or less unrelated note, seeing Sakuya on the cover reminds me that I’m growing everyday more and more love for her, and I don’t know why.

See ya with more Hayate no Gotoku goodness~

:beer:

Hitohira was one of the good surprises from 2007. It wasn’t an anime I was especially looking forward to, but after watching the first episode I found it really nice and kept watching the show. And it’s actually a very pleasant show, I really enjoyed it very much. For people who doesn’t know, it’s about a very shy girl named Mugi Asai, who goes totally silent when embarassed and is forcibly enroled in a “Drama Research Club”, the actual drama club’s rival club.

Personally it’s one of my favorite ‘slice-of-life’ anime. Nice story, the perfect amount of drama, great characters (especially Mugi and Nono-sempai) and some delicious yuri-vibes.

So when I found the manga in the second-hand books at the library I was quite happy, since the manga is still on-going in japan, and the anime goes until the middle of the volume 4 only. I’ve read the 5 released books a couple of months ago, so since I’m here for killing time I thought I might as well post some stuffs about it.

Mugi is love. I fell in love at once with her seiyuu Orie Kimoto,
a rookie seiyuu. Nono-sempai luvs Mugi too~

Surprisingly enough, Mugi possesses an amazing comical side.

“ne~ ?”

She’s quite a delinquent too XD

Nono-sempai is so awesome <3 <3 <3
Best character of the show. Cute, cool, hilarious…

… and gay for Mugi <3

Moar Mugi x Nono moments, from the club’s trip episode.

Episode 7. Nono and Mirei, her ex-best friend and actual president
of the Drama Club, locked in the school’s stocktroom.
Truly one of the best moments in anime history, IMO.
Mirei is also very awesome for worrying so much about Nono, and
because she’s the one crying when Nono loses her voice.
So deliciously yuri.

XD

Mugi x Kayo-chan, this so has to be real.

IT’S LOVE, I TELL YOU !

The anime ends with Nono-sempai’s graduation and the dissolution of the Drama Research Club, but as I said the manga continues past it, with Mugi-choco entering her second year. That’s not so much of a big surprise, but Mugi decides to continue acting and join the Drama Club. I must say that I miss Nono, Mirei and Kayo-chan a lot, and the manga lost mostly all of its yuri-vibe after that, but this is still pretty funny. Mugi is still the cuteness, and the girls from Mirei’s club are all as much lovely as they’re crazy. And it’s nice to see Mugi acting again.

Tama-chan, the new club president after Mirei’s graduation,
is my favorite character in the Drama Club.
“CHANCE GA KITA ZE !! Go prepare me some nice clothes !”
Best Cinderella evar XD

“Eroero Essaim !”, and Mugi appears as a totally HAWT
bunny-eared witch godmother <3 <3 <3

Tama-chan is most of the time a nice and scatterbrained girl,
but occasionally turns into Mirei-san. XD

Kodomo no Hitohira.
Mugi-chan dunno how to make new friends,
but finally manages to get their attention XD

A : “Hey, Nono-chan ! Did you watch yesterday’s MagiMugi episode ?”
B : “It was funny~”
Nono : “… yeah, it was really fun…”
A : “… you don’t have to lie, you know…”
Nono : “(I wasn’t lying though…)”
*Sad grade-schooler days*
awww feel like hugging that poor Nono-chan right now

I have one major complain about this manga though : the fact that the author only releases one volume a year :/

The fifth volume having been released on April 2008, next volume won’t be released before long… Neither ja.wiki.org or amazon.co.jp announces a releases date. Honestly that sucks badly, cause I really enjoy this manga very much.

“Just as planned !”

I’ve started to read the Hayate manga some weeks ago, thanks to the fact that I got half of the released books for cheap in a japanese library which sells second-hand manga.

I talked about the anime already before (here), and it’s licensed almost everywhere so everybody knows about the story. For me, HnG is the anime/manga in which there is the largest number of lovely characters ever. Hinagiku, Isumi, Ayumu, Miki, Izumi, Saki, Maria-san, Sakuya, Nagi (almost in order of preference)… I love them all.

Hinagiku is definitely one of my favorite characters ever.
I love her smile pretty much. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Actually, I could only watch the anime until the 27th episode and the beginning of the butler tournament (here), so I had to wait until the 6th volume for reading things I didn’t see in the anime. So here starts the highlights and random scans~

Izumi : “Saki-san, frankly speaking, who do you think
will be the champion ?”
Saki : “I… I think the person who will be first will be the champion…”
XD

“Daijoubu yo… Watashi ga anata wo mamoru kara <3”
Hina x Miki event ｷﾀ━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━ !

Right page, bottom right panel = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Miki rocks
*Hinagiku x Miki added to the Yuri wishing list*

awww~

dunno if it’s because she reads too much manga,
but Nagi is some quite bold 13 years old girl…
IIRC, it’s the second time she tries kissing Hayate, and the first time
he wasn’t even asleep (just before they visit Hina’s kendo club).
I wish she could remember that she asked Isumi for marriage
when they were younger…

“We are allies of justice who happen to pass by”
Hinagiku and Isumi fighting side by side, awesome combi <3 <3 <3
(the Maid Max Heart combi was quite awesome too XD )

Volume 7, yay Sakuya event~ (blushing Sakuya <3)

“haha… Sakuya-san no te… suggoku atatakai desu~”
A nice bit of skinship <3
moar Saku love² moments please

Maria-san, still awesome <3

I dig this version of the ‘Hayate no Gotoku’ XD

Right page : Hinagiku is Miki’s Tomari-chan, just awesome.
Left page : dude I luv Miki more and more

The long-awaited beginning of the Hinagiku x Hayata x Hamzawa-san love triangle.
I was so looking forward to it ever since I’ve read FlagPop (aka the awesome Hinagiku doujin).
Left page : Hinagiku-san you’re so cool <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Saku <3 <3 <3

omg, it’s finally Nagi who got the most servicey event so far, the obligatory “Oh, Snow-White !” scene (can’t be helped since she’s the main heroine).
Now I request Hinagiku version, reversed angle plz.
Nagi’s so bold @_@

Volume 8. School uniform + untied hair Maria-san : HAWT

Another Hayate x Hinagiku x Ayumu event KITA !
“Ah mou !! So cute !”
Even Hinagiku luvs Hamzawa-san’s cuteness <3

Ayumu : “Ah, incidentally, I’ve been picked up too”
XD

Right page, upper-right panel = OMG DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Hinagiku still luvs Hamzawa-san’s cuteness (left page).

Left page : “‘He surely carries the same pain as me'”
Finally a bit about Hina’s childhood.
Actually, it’s only since I started to read the manga in japanese that I learned that Hinagiku may apparantly be an adopted child, cause when she calls her ‘mother’ the furigana say ‘okaa-san’ but the kanji say ‘stepmother’. Well at least it would explain
why she doesn’t look like her sis.
Anyway, want more HHH quality moments (Hayata x Hinagiku x Hamzawa-san)

omg the love <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Man I loved that scene. The last panel in the left page is awesome.
I’m pretty fond of that Sister now :)

The volume ends with a nice Hinagiku x Ayumu short story.
Such an awesome combi <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hina : “don’t let go my hand !”
Ayumu : “ok~ <3”
Damn… If Hina keeps blushing at Hamzawa-san’s cuteness, that really will make me wish for the two of them to be together forever… arg my imagination starts running wild, and I’m now thinking of some awesome Ayumu x Hina x Miki love triangle… orz
*Hinagiku x Ayumu added to the Yuri wishing list*
See what you have done, Hata-sensei XD

When I see these gyaruge-like scenes on the back covers, I can’t help but think that they should definitely make a Hayate no Gotoku Ps2 gyaruge.

That was some delicious copypasta~. Honestly, I love how the things are going, the HHH love triangle that is. At first I was all for a Hinagiku ending, but like I say girls who confess their love properly win. Moreover, there is Miki… So I’m now mostly for a Hamzawa-san ending, but with the recent Hina x Ayu chapters I’m not sure anymore. XD Man I’ve never been so indecisive about the ending I wish since School Rumble and the awesome Yakumo x Kenji x Eri thing.

See ya with moar random scans.

So I’ve read the latest Lucky Star book. A nice read as expected. It was funny, nothing that made me laught my ass off but still that pleasant light humor and everyday-life talks.

In this book, Konata’s crew graduates from high-school, but the author has chosen to not make a big deal of it. It actually takes only 3 yonkoma from the Konata-crew’s point of view, and 4 yonkoma from Kuroi-sensei’s side. Also, since the comics in the book aren’t published in order, it just continues with Konata’s school-life after that as like nothing happened, so it really was like a minor event.

But I think we got a taste of what Lucky Star will be in the future : Kou-chan-sempai as the main character watching over the Hiyori-Yutaka-Minami trio and the Hikaru-Fuyuki combi as a tsukkomi-character. ‘Cause indeed, as the cover suggests, this book was full of Kou comics, which was a good thing because I wub Kou-chan-sempai since I played the ps2 game. MAI WAIFU !

Sadly enough though, Yamato doesn’t appear in the story, ‘not yet’ hopefully. It got also a few Akira comics that I couldn’t care less about, and these awesome sketches I mentionned in the previous post which were much love & piece.

That ojou-sama from one of
Hiyorin’s random fantasy is cute <3 <3 <3

I so fuckin hate when something like that happens >_<
I remember having like 89 favorites on my Youtube account,
last time I checked it was down to 66 videos orz

Lovely Tsukasa, trauma switch on XD

Konata asks Miyuki and Kagamin to imitate each others.
Miyuki speaking in a familiar way : do want to see it in the anime.

Hiyori selling her doujin at Comiket :
Guy from Comptiq Magazine : “May I have a talk with you ?”
Hiyorin : “(my cheek… it hurts… eh ?
no way… THAT AIN’T A DREAM !?)”
Hiyorin : “that’s right… even in dreams, pinching your cheek
actually hurts…”
XD

H : “When it’s something you like, you want to take
tons of pictures of it, right ?”
Y : “Do you have a camera too, Tamura-san ?”
H : “Yup, when something happens I take a picture
and upload it on my blog… HA !!”
Y&M : “want to see it, Tamura-san’s blog~”
H : “da-da-da- DAME DAME ! you can’t !”
Y : “eh~ ? why ?”
H : “People under 18 are not allowed to visit this website… !!”
Y : “Tamura-san too is under 18 though…”

Heh, finally somebody notices that Hiyorin is under 18. XD Well, just that I always found amusing seeing Konata, Hiyori and Patty hiding ecchi stuffs from Yutaka, while it’s totally ok for Hiyori and Patty to be in deh ecchi and play eroge… just because they’re otaku. XD Wait I just thought of it… but Hikage is like 12 years old and works occasionally in a shop selling doujins… :o

Kou heard Konata & Hiyori talking about
Street Fighter IV at the game center…
“Now that I think of it, I never really cared
about the games before SFIII.
Let’s check how Ryu-sama and Ken-sama looked in their young days”
“wow, SFII was released before I was born !
(how can that peck know about this game ?)”
shock
“Hiyorin… the Ryu-sama and Ken-sama inside me are DEAD !”

After reading that comic, I feel so old~

“When I get up and that there’s nobody home, I feel lonely…”
awww lonely Tsukasa~

Kou finally sees Konata at school for the first time during the gradutaion ceremony…
Posting it just cause Kou looks cute in the second panel <3 <3 <3

Nanako : “Ah iya that’s not it, it’s just that I got something in my eye”
Nanako : “I see… You got something in your eye too, Sakuraba-sensei”
Kuroi-sensei <3

book : Grimm Fairy Tales
Yutaka : “Cinderella is… Snow White is… ;_; ”
XD

“N- No that’s not it… I just wanted to pat your head… T_T ”
Minami is so cute <3
and ponytail Kou-chan-sempai : HOT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Konata : “Frail younger characters are nice and all, but I definitely
can’t get enough of onee-san characters !”
Yui : “You say ‘onee-san’ ‘onee-san’, but aren’t
these characters actually younger than the people who plays to this kind of games ?”
Konata : “It’s because we are young in heart, nee-san !”

lol the thruth XD ALL HAIL IZUMI KONATA OUR QUEEN !

since Hiyorin always forgets her ideas the time she goes to her desk
for writting them down, she now sleeps with her notebook…
Hiyori : “… and finally I end up not being able to decode it”
Tsukasa : “Ah ! that’s exactly the same thing with my notebook
when I sleep during class !”
First panel, semi-sleeping Hiyorin : CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hikaru : “When Fuyuki has something in mind, she just want to do it
whatever the circumstances”
Fuyuki : “I’m cleaning the room so get up from here”
Hikaru : “I’m reading, do it later”
Kou : “I can imagine that indeed”
Fuyuki : Mou… I will just go back home without cleaning, you know !”
Kou : “wait… we were talking about Hikaru-sensei’s room !?”

Kou : “Fuyuki-chan you just can’t clean the room of
somebody like her ! (clean my room instead !)”
Hikaru : “Ha ? you can go. I didn’t ask you anyway”
Fuyuki : “mumumu~”
Kou : “I think she’s right, being angry once in a while”
Fuyuki : “I give you 30 minutes and then I’ll do it for real !”
Kou : “AMAI YO ! FUYUKI-CHAN !”
Fuyuki : “but I just can’t let the room like this…”

Hikaru (Sakuraba-sensei) and Fuyuki (Amahara-sensei), the lovely yuri teachers combi. They occasionally call each others “otou-san” and “kaa-san” like an old couple, I think it’s fukken cute.

“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ?! JAPAN IS GREAT
BECAUSE IT HAS SCHOOL UNIFORMS !!!”
The few Patty comics are mostly here for saying that
Japan isn’t all about moe, anime and otaku
unlike foreigners think (?).

Viva copy-pasta and the Flexible-Upload wordpress plugin~

Now waiting for the OVA which is released next week, and hoping to be able to see it somehow. orz

Kou-chan-sempai is love.
