He did met Hayate while the latter was only a child, wearing a Santa disguise.

I don't exactly recall when this in the manga, but I'll check just for sure.

Actually, there was a flashback set around the End of the World arc which showed Mikado (dressed as Santa Claus, of course) giving Hayate an omamori pouch, which if I remember correctly was how Hayate got the sacred stone which let him go into the Royal Garden in the first place. I've got no idea just how much of an influence this implies Mikado's had on the story, but on some level it really does seem like he's behind everything.

Hina didn't repay the debt, Yukiji did. (The only one among the kids to do so, for all her present problems with money...) So clearly, if she puts in the effort and is ready to risk her life, she's quite capable.

I'm not clear on this, but although Yukiji did work a lot to clear the debt her parents had left to them, wasn't at least part of Hina and Yukiji's debt covered by their new parents when they adopted them? I think I remember reading something to that effect. Still, true enough, we do have ample evidence that when it comes to the most important things (i.e. Hina), Yukiji can be quite responsible.

About Yukiji and Hina's debt, all I remember is that Yukiji did very dubious things to pay it.
Well, Hayate was going to go down that route until he had a change of heart.

Edit: More interviews from Hata's blog.

To summarise:
1. Luca will be singing the opening theme for the Hayate film. It seems Hata has already chosen a VA for her. It also seems the one singing her songs will be a different person. Hata didn't give any names.
2. The film's timeline (in relation to the manga) is August 27th.
3. Athena's breasts are larger than Sakuya's. They are also soft. But both are pretty damn good pairs of tits.
4. Hina's chest will never grow.

That's about everything I thought was relevant.

Shadow5YA · 2011-07-06, 05:47

Anybody want to compare Luca's 9-digit debt to Hayate and see if the numbers match?

HasuMasu · 2011-07-06, 05:50

i'm pretty sure hayate's is larger

What I remember Hina saying about it was that Yukiji paid it all off by herself. The adopted parents just gave them a place to live.

I'd be very interested to learn exactly how this topic came up.

Hata has been taking questions on twitter and answering them on his blog the last two weeks. He also mentioned that he loves the story where Tama gets lost, (But apparently no one else did...) And that he enjoyed both seasons of the anime (But the ratings kind of sucked...)

He also really liked the stories where Nagi wakes up early/plays with the remote control car and mentions the Mykonos timeslip story (The extra in volume 4) being popular.

The Hina answer made me giggle only because someone asked him the same thing about Nagi a while back and he was all like "Well, Nagi's only 13, she still has room to grow..." and then with Hina he's like NEVER! next question.

AnimeFangirl · 2011-07-06, 08:31

What's his official blog? I should check this out myself.

Although honestly most weeks he just rambles on about whatever merchandise is coming out and how busy he's been.

The best part is some people have made questions in English and he's answered them (in English as well).

Arabesque · 2011-07-06, 17:01

Lol, it's pretty fun reading what he has to say (since he's the only author I follow there I could actually read what he says in the first place :P) but I never had enough courage to actually ask him anything.

Still, I got the impression that he seemed more spirited these days, which I guess is why the manga seems to be going on an upswing nowadays. Looks like he's overcome his writers block.

AnimeFangirl · 2011-07-06, 17:23

Good. I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll make of the Alice/A-tan thing. I haven't read the past few chapters because I was obviously just torturing myself with the Luca thing.

Shadow5YA · 2011-07-06, 23:44

I really don't think Hayate is done with Luca just yet. She still has yet to finish her manga.

Used Can · 2011-07-07, 00:12

There's also the Yozora plot. I'm sure Luca is related to that, somehow. Depending on how everything ends up tied by the end of this arc, I wouldn't be surprised if Luca's impact and relevance end up being significant. I'm sure Athena's plot will somehow be part of this pot of sub-plots as well. If you think about it, there are several things going on right now, even though most of them have barely been developed.

Moreover, reading Hata's blog and the interviews, I get the impression he really likes Luca a lot. So, even after this arc is over, I don't think she'll go away.

pampz21 · 2011-07-11, 16:07

Been thinking....maybe its a good thing that Hayate wasn't Athena's Butler....
Hayate and A-tan would be a normal lovers....His Lady(Nagi) and His Mistress(A-tan)

And someday Nagi would fall in love with a normal guy just like her Mother!

EDIT:

Their quote would probably
A-tan: "Im Tennousu Athena, thats the name of the great goddess of this world"
then Hayate comes and says "And it is the name of the goddess I loved the most"

BTW read the newest ch. Okabe Rintarou???

I was thinking that too. So many nods to the series. I thought it would just be the one panel, but then they just kept coming!

Saturn Beaver Home of Silent Prayer Join Date: Mar 2010	Spoiler for Ch 328: Well, basically the only thing that happened this chapter is that Nagi and Luca are working on the manga togehher. Let's see what's to come off that. Also, although this hasn't been in doubt at all especially with Nagi's PSP a few chapters back, it seems that Hata really is following current anime. The title of the chapter, for one, as well as Nagi going around in Akiba wearing a Lab Coat, asking for assistants for her lab and even explicitly saying part-time warrior. __________________
