On-topic, any approximation on when the results of the manga's 2nd popularity poll?

You mean fanboys. I don't think Hina is popular among girls in Korea.

exactly. the fangirls constituted a huge portion of the voting bloc and basically Hina lost out on that demographic on every match, especially on the decisive Kyou vs. Hina match. The Hina fanboys could not carry her towards the W.

Any info on ch 204? The site where I usually get my spoilers doesn't have anything.

I don't know about chapter 204, but chapter 203 finally came out for me...

Spoiler:

So as I had originally expected, both Wataru and Saki and Sakuya and maybe even Isumi ended up going to Las Vegas instead of Greeces, which is fine... They're not a part of Hayate's harem anyway

The introduction was relatively uninteresting, just pieces of conversation about America, gambling and vacations in general.

(As it turns out Nagi's mother is quite a 'pro' at jackpots )

Afterwards as aSakuya left the two of them alone to go into their hotel room, we get a shot of a mysterious and suspicious woman...

I'm actually very interested in this new story, it's been a long while since we had a story involving Wataru, and maybe this time we'll get some romantic development for him... Be it with Saki, Isumi or even Sakuya.

Spoiler:

What is the probability that the mysterious woman is the nun?

If it does end up being the nun I will start cracking up. Wataru and his harem all going to Las Vegas while Hayate and his harem go to Greece.

This arc is going to be absolutely fabulous, I can already tell.

Spoiler:

Unfortunately, unless she wears a wig, or grew her hair and dyed it black/dark, it's definitely not her

No, this woman is a brand new character...

[9taileddemon]

Any bets on whether the nun is going to show up anyway or do you think she has kind of been abandoned by the author?

She did get her 15 minutes of fame by getting a kiss and maybe no more uses could be found or wanted to be found.

[Used Can]

I think she has more chances of showing up than Klaus.

[9taileddemon]

Well in his own way Klaus is the most misfortunate member of the cast. Well Gilbert might slightly beat him but Gilbert doesn't even matter anymore so I give it to Klaus.

Still Klaus gets to have impact on the plot since he still has the power to try to fire Hayate. He also shows up whenever the Sanzennins do anything major.

The nun really only gets used with Yukiji and Himuro when they are talking about money and mahjong.

In the end both get almost no time in the spotlight.

[tora]

Hereafter, it will be an age of Atene Tennosu.

[Used Can]

Haha... Klaus made a... cameo in chapter 204. But due to the circumstances, I'm sure we won't see him in quite a while (i.e. until the Greece arc is over).

[Dark Mage]

I just started reading this manga and before I get in too deep I wanted to ask is there any romance at all in this manga? Does Hayate's Feeling for Maria ever understood by Maria? Or does something develop between Nagi and Hayate? Does Hayate still not understand Nagi's feelings for him? I would really like it if MariaxHayate works out/ In the very first chapter did Maria ask Hayate if he had a lover or was it just Hayate's imagination? Since you guys are really reading advanced chapters can someone telll me if Hayate is still after Maria or not? Whats this talk about Hayate's brother?

Could you copy me on that email?

[primuler]

I finished translating chapter 189, the first chapter of MariaxHayate date. Why only that chapter? Because I'm HayatexMaria fan! But I dunno what to do with it.

And should I translate the other two chapters of the date?

[Dark Mage]

I am also a MariaxHayate fan. Long live MariaxHayate

You should translate 198 and 199 when Hayate and Maria have all of that alone time. I think the two are so cute during that.


Oh I also have a question that I have had for a while. What is the story about the girl in this page.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...yate204_15.jpg

I have seen her a couple times in the chapters but my lack of any Japanese knowledge has made it so I have no idea what is special about her or anything really.

If you want, I can PM you the scripts later, since I'm currently translating those chapters. For the picture you asked, I haven't touched that chapter yet, so I'm just giving you a quick translation, and it may contain errors.

Spoiler for Fumi & Ayumu's conversation:

For the previous page, Fumi told Ayumu that because both she and Sharna's families are rich, so they can go abroad without winning a ticket. And here's the page you wanted :

Ayumu : Th-Then, maybe our journeys...
Ayumu : Turkey and Athene, maybe our course are different?
Fumi : Yes.
Fumi : Fumi and Sharna start from Istanbul, and we want to go take the Silk Road, since we planned on going to India.
Ayumu : Eh?! Silk Road? Then that means you're going on the land route?
Fumi : Yes. We will go by riding the camels.
Ayumu : Eh?! Camels?! And you're going to cross the Silk Road?!
Ayumu : B-But, such an amazing journey...
Ayumu : You're not scared of it?
Fumi : It'll surely be dreadful, but...
Fumi : If I have any fear, I won't discover anything.

From what I've gathered over the few chapters that she has appeared; Fumi is INCREDIBLY straightforward, it's almost like she had her sense of tact completely removed and her brain doesn't have any filters

But despite having that idiot look, she might be alot smarter than she's letting on, as evident in the contest for the free holiday trip. In addition, she has something wrong going on inside her head

Chap 204

Spoiler:

EHHHHHH?!?! They're putting Wataru's story on hold ?!?!?!

Maahh~ At least this side story with Tama was amusing with all the different red herrings

Which makes me wonder- Is the Author planning to jump back and forth between America and Greece ?
