As much as I'd be pleased by an Athena end, I don't think anything has been settled. We know Athena still loves Hayate deeply, and we know Hayate still cares and loves Athena, but at the same time, he's also got his duty as Nagi's butler which, I'm sure, he'll definitely fulfill. So, despite his feelings for Athena, he may choose to live up to his duty.
I also think Hina gained major points in these chapters, but at the same time I also get the feeling her relationship with Hayate will change. So far, she's been a girl who's been in love with him, but it seems now she'll be happy just being his ally. In fact, this is something Hina pondered at the beginning of this arc, during the volleyball match against Gilbert. All the same, hopefully Hina will get some reward for her actions. Seriously, these chapters made me remember why she used to be my favourite character. She's simply great. As for Athena, I wonder what sort of role will she be playing now. She's been rescued, and I guess she can live in peace now. Will she go back to Japan? If she does, will she become part of the regular cast? What impact would her presence have in the development of the story and the other characters? All the same, so far, she's been the damsel in distress, I guess it's time for her to start being of help to others and mainly to Hayate. All the girls have done a lot for Hayate, and while Athena did a lot for him 10 years ago, no matter how big the impact of her actions were on Hayate, that's in the past. If there's an Athena end, I think she's got to start helping Hayate, so that in the end it won't seem unfair for the other girls.

Speaking of which, she has some sort of connection with Athena. If Hayate takes Athena back to the hotel/mansion after they finish their embrace (which seems likely, since Machina is there and Athena's house is rather... damaged), we might finally see what kind of relationship those two had.

Chapter 257: "I'm so jealous of Tennous-san... the truth that Hayate-kun loves someone makes my heart hurt. And when I think about how Ayumu will feel the same way once I tell her, it makes it even more painful." Quote:
Hands up who imagines an accepting smile under her mask. I can't. Quote:
So I hope that she'll be able to somehow find the heart to carry on with her normal positive self rather than her hurt-mopey one. But if this manga is going to end without her able to blow all the karma points she accumulated over the course of this story, I'll be very unsatisfied. |

@zibi88
I know zibi dude, I'm a Hina supporter as well (by looking at her condition, I really pity her). It is not just hurting you, but it hurts me too. @hinakatbklyn & Mentar Good point. But it is too early for her to give up right now, cause I heard that the changes of her relationship with Hayate will take place in the further chapter. Someday, somehow, it WILL happen. And Mentar, yes, I am being envy of Athena as well. Speaking of Maria, well, she will play more roles as a major supportive character in the further chapters since she a lady who is full of mysteries. And... To all Hina fans in this forum, please be patient, the miracle that we are wishing for will soon make it happen. Cause Hata had made a prediction on it. |

I predict that Hina will be the one to open the way to Royal Garden. They should be heading back to Japan soon. Hina has the sword, and she is the hero of justice. That at least satisfies the 2 conditions in chapter 216.

By the way guys, I'm glad many of you are back to the thread. It had been quite silent here, for a while. Hopefully, the other girls will receive development in the next arc, so that the other members will also start posting in this thread again.
Anyway, just as I wouldn't write Hina's chances out, I'd say the same about Maria. Sure, at the moment she's been a gag character, but she really had no role in this arc (well, she's supposed to know Athena, but I guess we'll know about that later), so at the very least she added some comedy. All the same, you guys can be sure she'll have a birthday arc and she'll receive development there, you can bet your right eye on it.
