In chapters 158 and 159, we are introduced to a new character, first year Hibino Fuyumi (one year kouhai to Hayate and friends). How should I define her?
Spoiler for Slight spoiler about Hibino Fuyumi:

Erm... would someone mind telling me what volume this is currently up to? I've just finished Vol.14 RAW, and I thought thats all thats released at the moment, yet the recent summaries are unknown to me.
So to sum it up, is it Vol.15 now? And where do you people get these? (I know it's licensed and stuff, but I don't think I can wait until ViZ catches up, and by then, the story might be over with.) V_V |

I know I know...
Hina wasn't the only one, I was literally went "OH SHI-!!!" when Hayate told her the truth. But thankfully, he was able to salvage the situation... What a relief! Grabbing her hand was a nice touch too Good job! Spoiler:

It's a chapter like this that makes it sad to think how the ending is gonna turn out. Even though Hina is the favorite candidate among fans, and she HAS gotten many, many good moments with Hayate, the chances of her winning is still low.
First off, Maria is the only one who hasn't heard Hayate's confession of having a girlfriend at a very young age, IIRC. This provokes the odds of it being Maria. And after seeing Maria during high-school, one can't help but feel a connection between the enigma of a childhood love, and herself, showing how it was possible for her to change so much between school and now, gives the possibility the youth could've also gone change to become the Maria of today. Putting aside Maria, comes Nagi. The whole story was based around Nagi and Hayate. I'm sure the mangaka knew that Hinagiku was gonna be big, and expected a strong fanbase, but to the point that Nagi is being put in the shadow..... I doubt that's going according to plan. Nagi is still in the spotlight here, and I don't think a sudden drop is going to happen. How is it possible to drop her when the story is revolving around her infatuation with Hayate. And the last person we'll look at here, is HAMSTER! She has a snowball's chance in August of winning this race, IMO. However, the establishment of the " first girl " is still not ready. She has been the one to have a crush on Hayate for the longest, yet the central character is assumed to be Nagi. All and all, I doubt Hinagiku will win this, but I'm still rooting for it. I'll still be satisfied with Maria being the winner, but I find it hard to believe theres a way to have Nagi face the truth about how Hayate's relationship with her is more of a brother-sister one. The last thing I'm gonna talk about is the ending. Will this series end, or is it going to be another School Rumble, where things are being milked to dust? It's sad to see series never reach the final stage, because theres always the stupid moment at the end of a moment that'll ruin all the current progress, *coughtrainticketcough*. I'm also willing to stake a crudely made vase that the next chapter will be a Nagi one. Anyone care to bet? |

In my opinion the mangaka didn't expect her to become the huge favorite of the fanbase. It's rather that she's a stroke of genius, a big crowd-pleaser. Therefore he can't really axe her. Also, she's the only character which constantly receives long-range story arcs with lasting character development (compared to the weeklies for the other characters, and the fairly random Nagi chapters). Anyway, a Hina end run is only a pleasant dream. But a dream anyway |

I recall reading somewhere that Kenjiro Hata that he wanted the anime to go on "forever" like any self-respecting shounen series.
I wouldn't mind having the manga go on forever, but then again, time actually seems to pass in Hayate, albeit slowly, so we may indeed be moving on a planned trajectory. Myself, I'm betting that Hayate's long lost brother is Himegami.

anyway, rich spoiled girl who is also quirky is not going to stay spoiled and quirky, unless we want to celebrate this snobbery nonsense that ranks quite high on the list of modern banalities. she's a setting, in the sense that her wealth and status frames the story, but she also has the aspect of her character that is lively as well. with the common fancies of youth and childhood. there is a sense that nagi will never come to a resolution, ever.
