Oh my... after reading manga volume 12, I start to feel really bad for Hina ^_^;
Her conflicting loyalties are beginning to seriously drag her down. In this state, her feelings for Hayate are more a burden than a boon for her. Almost makes me want her to let go *wince* |

Well... in a nutshell, the cursed promise she gave to Nishizawa Ayumu (back then, when she didn't have romantic ambitions herself, to support Ayumu's efforts to win Hayate's love), is beginning to kill her. Now that Hina has realized for herself clearly that she's in love with him, she's stuck in limbo and agonizing over what she should do.
To make things worse, Ayumu is being extra friendly to her, and she's giving her best to deepen her friendship with Hina. Hina fights very hard not to become a "traitor", but she doesn't succeed in telling Ayumu about it either, so she's trapped, and it's eating her up inside. The cherry on the cake however is that she has more than enough opportunities to advance things with Hayate, but... well ^_^; It's beginning to affect her. While in the past, Hina was an avatar of open honesty about everything, brimming with confidence, we now see her brooding and waging her inner battles (on MANY pages, she features very prominently in about 1/3rd of the tankubon). Outwardly, she's still helpful and efficient, but internally she's going through hell. She does get her share of smiles, but... it's no comparison to before. On the plus side, this REALLY keeps the tension up. On the downside, I begin to really REALLY pity her. Confessing and being rejected can't be worse than that. However, I have a hunch that once they do begin to dissolve this gordian knot around Hina, the story is going to end. It's certainly the most "serious" issue of HnG in the past 2-3 books. Resolve it, and the story is ending. IMHO. |

LCeh, how many chapters is vol12 behind?
I admit, I'm invested in Hina to a degree which is staggering me - she's my reason to follow this show. That said - wouldn't you agree that Hina's odyssee over the last tankubons is the most relevant non-reset development of the entire show? Or is it just my fandom? |
