I hope that the mods will tolerate just a few lines on this off-topic issue, but this is incredibly interesting to me. During Genshiken, I always thought that Saki indeed should have ended up with Madarame, because it would have made the story come full-circle: The proponent of the "normal" links up with the proponent of the "nerds". It would also have been more popular with me since Madarame simply seemed to care more. I do recognize though that it wouldn't have been realistically possible at Madarame's confession, but still...

On the subsequent contests, he had annoyed Nagis deliver the "yet again" lines (they are in some translated omakes), subjecting Hina to stripping exercises... it sure was no hero's celebration. Quote:

Hata will shock you all by doing a 5-year time skip and turning them both into adults. He will then marry them off in the very next chapter and heat his home for the next 20 years with the flames of the fans' fury.

But the romance stuff wasn't my draw to the manga. It was the whacky comedy stuff combined with fun characters and situations. I guess I'm just odd that way. Quote:

And the original manga was more so as the girls in their Sailor outfits are pure jailbait (were this RL). Heh!heh! That might be how things end.

Depends on who owns the copyright to the franchise; Hata-sensei or Shogakukan.

Doesn't matter who owns the copyright. Hata is a 10 yr vet with highly successful manga. He should have enough pull to tell the editors to stuff if he doesn't want to keep the manga stringing along as it is.

I'm not serving him in a court of law. The manga is dragging, has been for years, and I don't care whose fault it is. It needs to get fixed. I only continue reading it for the same reason I read Bleach and Naruto after they got bad: I'm already time and emotionally invested in the series, and it takes less than 5 minutes to read a chapter.
Unlike those other two, I buy Hayate from Viz. But I had already decided back during the manga competition arc that I was going to stop buying at volume 25. And nothing that Hata's put out has made me even consider changing my mind on that. |

Well done. I quit reading it ages ago, popped in last week to see A-tan is STILL in her childhood form and dropped out again. Someone tell me when she's back to normal and the story can finally get moving again.
