Hayate no Gotoku ch. 244- AthenaXHayate

mangamaxx — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:40:17 +0000

Ok, so Hayate isn’t the only one lamenting on the past. Athena still wishes they were together too! For some reason I thought Athena would turn out to be a yandere or something, simply because we have way too many tsuderes in this sereies, and I have a tendency towards “balancing” and for some reason [...]

Ok, so Hina’s still feeling depressed about the whole Hayate situation, and it’s been hurting us Hina fans to see her like this. So what does Kenjiruo Hata have to cheer us up on this? Quite a bit of Hina fanservice! So the Hina fanservice works a little; it’ll at least get you mind off her [...]

Hayate no Gotoku ch. 240: Hina’s a Classy Girl

mangamaxx — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:35:39 +0000

Last week’s chapter left Hina in the dust at Hayate’s huge statement. This week Hina is recovering from Hayate’s news, and in her fashion gives Hayate advice before addressing her own issue. It’s nice to see that this chapter re-addresses the Athena issue with Hayate going to see her at the end, but I still feel [...]

mangamaxx — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:57:46 +0000

Hayate’s an idiot. This chapter he finally realizes that Athena is the person he likes, but unfortunately for Hina; he comes to this conclusion while she is in the middle of confessing to him herself. I feel sorry for Hina, Hayate tells her that Athena is the person he likes while she’s in the middle [...]

Hayate no Gotoku ch. 238: Bait and Switch!!!

mangamaxx — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:55:12 +0000

Arrrgh! for the last few weeks, we fans have been agonizing and anticipating Hina’s big confession to Hayate and it seems once again we were deceived!! Now I’ll say that the Athena aspect is certainly intriguing, but I was really looking forward to Hina’s confession! I also felt bad for Hina throughout her dinner with Hayate, [...]
