It's obvious that you're a huge Hina fan, and I respect that and all, but I can see there's no point in arguing with you. We'll just agree to disagree and leave it at that. Quote:
Hina's far too much like Hayate for my tastes. It makes their interactions about as entertaining as watching paint dry when Hina isn't getting all tsun tsun and making a mess of things. Which she does, frequently. That's just me, though. Quote:
When Maria suggested Hayate marry Nagi to pay off her debt, he had three objections. 1. I won't marry her for money. This has already become a non-issue. Nagi is no longer filthy rich and his debt to her is more personal than financial. 2. I won't lay hand on a child. This takes care of itself, given time. How much time is debatable. 3. There's no way a girl like her would like someone like me. This is not exactly an insurmountable obstacle. I mean, it's just Hina redux, except Nagi has to wait an unspecified amount of time before it can work. Will Hina beat her to it? Maybe, but probably not, at least not by much. Hina's confession could even be the catalyst for Nagi taking action. The way I see it, even if Nagi doesn't "win" she'll get her fair chance to compete on level ground with everyone else. Until Nagi is old enough to do so, nothing of any real consequence will happen. This way, no one auto-loses to Nagi because she's the little girl he has to protect, and Nagi doesn't auto-lose because Hayate doesn't see her as a woman. That's the real endgame, IMO.

Everyone has to get the girl debate out of their system once in a while. I'm all done though.
Instead, have a random twitter exchange from Hata: Some Japanese Dude: 24巻のおまけ繋がりで、ナギが胸を大きくするために努力するってのは、どうですか? Basically, "Dude! It's been 24 volumes! Are Nagi's boobs ever gonna sprout or what? Hata: ナギはまだ13歳なので未来に希望が… Nagi is still 13 years old. She has hope for the future... Ah, good old Japanese fans, asking the important questions that need answering. |

Rofl. 24 volumes may have passed, but they do realize it's only been 5 and a half months in-story, right? Combined with her likely poor nutrition from being a hikkikomori for so long, it'd be a miracle if she even got too much bigger than she already is.

What this episode showed that when meeting with someone who fits her better in age and interests, she's having a happier time. She's showing integrity by eventually rejecting it and returning to her fantasy world, but for me, this is a potential way for her to grow and progress. To grow by eventually realizing her self-delusion and progress by looking for someone who is less of a guardian/butler and more of an eye-level PARTNER. Quote:
Can all this change? Yes, of course. But it's quite a long way to go, IMHO. Finding Nagi a better match feels easier to me *shrug* Quote:
Quote:
Could it happen? Yes, naturally it could. It's still the canonic ending which I consider the most likely conclusion to the story, unfortunately. So, Nagi is still the big favorite going into the race But I for my part can say that I'm quite happy with Hina quietly continuing to rack up karma points. I don't even insist on her getting Hayate. I insist on her getting rewarded in a happy ending for her. Quote:

Maybe that's why Ayumu hasn't felt truly rejected, it's only been Hayate's refusal of her feelings, while the other girls seem to respect her for the courage. Even in the the fan-imagining I plan on writing, it's only because the confessing/choosing is done as a group that Hayate finally learns from the brick-to-the-head. I can see the group confession happening rather soon, several of the girls have realized their feelings and are able to talk about it to each other. How long it takes before Hayate responds depends on that. (Personally, I have Nagi demanding he make a decision before the end of the trip). Each of the girls will likely be willing to accept his choice, they know by now that by not accepting it, they'll only hurt Hayate, as well as lose ground on getting accepted themselves. And in Hayate's eyes, he'll probably ask for Nagi's acceptance directly because she's the one he's promised to protect.

Ah, I see that you guys are still over analyzing every single bit of information you can come across from the anime and manga and trying to bring it up from an objective perspective as well.
*sigh* Yeah, right.... Anyway, the latest chapter was quite nice. Thumbs up for Hata and how he pushed a step forward Ayumu & Nagi's relationships. I don't believe for a second that Nagi's excuse to bring Ayumu back was a lie. She actually overcame her tsundere personality for a moment, and told her her true feelings. :3 A nice step forward. And Ayumu is direct like always, though perhaps a little overreacting, because of the moment. Also I'd like to add how Hayate managed to masterfully outwit Ayumu when she was trying to make him realize that it was her birthday. Quite painful to watch, though.... Oh, and any idea when is the double issue? Will we see a chapter this week or the next? I remember a few months ago how there wasn't any HnG for at least two, if not three weeks. This place practically died. Hahaha...

It did at least tell us that the daily life of Hayate and Nagi isn't going to change, they still work at the cafe apparently.

Yeah, like someone that actually appreciates her stories. Am I the only one that cringes sometimes at the reactions of Hayate and/or Maria whenever they read her manga? Poor Nagi, her audience is insensitive as hell.

Hibino Fumi. And I'm just basing it on their airheadness and they have a higher probability of liking Nagi and Isumi's manga than anyone, of course, I have no other grounds to base it off on.
