Those who say that they don't care about money are those who have too much of it.
This fairly common sentiment (and its converse, inverse, etc.) has been stated in the franchise in various ways. I see that the willingly/happily given fidelity memo has been both missed and/or dismissed despite being sent several times. Oh well. A reference to The Tempest might be best, but I fear that such a thing would be as useful as screaming through howling winds a la King Lear (despite a reference to Hamlet being enthusiastically received by another years ago).

I don't think marrying a weathy girl would quell Hayate's worries about money, considering his luck, and the fact that he still feels responsible for Nagi losing her family wealth from Mikado.
Hayate losing money has been a gag several times. |

My point is that hasn't been developed. Hayate said what he aspired for once, and it ended there. We've never seen Hayate think about his future and aspirations, since being a butler and serving Nagi is all he thinks and does now. I think it'd be interesting to see him think about himself and his future every now and then.

Well 150 million yen is about 2 million USD at current exchange rate. Assuming he earns $50,000 USD a year, it'll take him over 38 years to earn that much. That's why he isn't thinking about what he's going to do afterwards yet. Poor guy.

"Despite a trickle of scandals involving talkative ex-butlers, demand is soaring. So is the complexity of the job. A birthday in Venezuela organised by Anthony Seddon-Holland, a British soldier-turned-butler, involved three planeloads of guests and security, and booking an entire hotel, plus rock band and film stars." Can you seriously tell me that's comparable to the glorified babysitting that Hayate's doing right now? Even if I have him earn $100k a year, it's still going to be 20 years before he's done. |

I've also repeatedly encountered in this forum the sentiment that "everyone" thinks that the Greece arc is the best part of the manga. Again, I'm not part of that "everyone." I think that arc is a messy overcooked wangsty tween melodrama. Last edited by mitsuganae; 2012-10-17 at 18:16. |

If you want to be technical about it we could add 'almost everyone' or 'general reception', but no matter what we use it would still mean the same thing.
After all, somebody has got to be the minority.
