Spoiler:

Don't worry, Hinagiku WILL be in the mix . She will actually be the first person to confront Hayate directly with the topic of relationships and why he never takes any girls seriously. She also actually has the most screen time for serious scenes in volumes 7 through 9... maybe the author has taken a preference to her.

We also find out the way he treats women in general, and his attitude toward serious relationships is all due to what a girl told him in his childhood past (perhaps his first love *grin*), I'll leave it at that for now... hopefully scanlators will step up the releases hehe

Spoiler:

Are you referring to what happened on Hinagiku's birthday? I think that last scene was really good, when Hayate brought her out to the balcony to let her see the night views. I think the author could have done more with that scene, but I guess being a shounen manga at all, he couldn't take the relationship too far.

The problem, right now, is that Hayate only has admiration for Hinagiku. He thinks she is like the perfect girl who excels in everything, and being the blockhead that he is, has no idea that Hinagiku already likes him.

But I definitely think the author will develop more between them in the upcoming chapters. I think the fan poll should at least tell the mangaka something about fans' preference, with Hinagiku almost doubled Mari's votes, who was second place.
