Hayate no Gotoku manga (raw discussion only)
Please remember that the Hayate no Gotoku manga is licensed by Viz under the name "Hayate the Combat Butler".
Since it is licensed the following posts are no longer allowed
Thread Guidelines
You still are allowed to discuss the manga, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story itself. If you wish to discuss the English translated manga, then please post in the Hayate the Combat Butler manga (Viz Edition only). End of edit by Mod (Pellissier & xris) Anyone following this series? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...ga.php?id=4947 Hayate is an ordinary highschool student who's parents are compulsive gamblers and sell his organs to the local yakuza. While escaping them, Hayate instead gains a job as a butler for a girl who has some 'interesting' tastes. It's licensed now but it's a great show. It really reminds me of Zero No Tsukaima set in a mansion. I hate that the 5th volume (Because fansubs stopped at 4 when it was licensed) will probably not be out until November 2007 but it's a great light comedy romp. I wonder how it ended (If it did)

I love Hayate, I'm sad that the group that was scanlating it stopped, but on the other hand, I'm very happy that it was picked up by Viz for distribution in my country. AFAIK, it's actually still ongoing, volume 7 was released earlier this year.
I'm really hoping that by this time next year they'll be announcing an anime.

Doesn't remind me of ZeroNoTsukaima too much yet. Pretty good manga so far though
except for chapter8. That just seemed like a bad decision. Pick a targert audience already lol. If it's yaoi fans, have the crossdressing from the start. If it's hetero guys, which it seemed to be, might want to just skip it. |

Loli girl who likes to beat up on her 'Slave/Butler' and has a best friend who looks like Siesta and a Maid who Hayate is more interested in?
Except for Tama all the characters look like ZnT. Was chapter 8 where they dress him up in the Nekomimi?

I just read Vol 1-8, and I must say, this manga is really, really good. It just keeps getting better and better as it moves along. Like Pani Poni Dash!, the manga is filled with references to other manga/anime, and often breaks the fourth wall.
I highly recommend it to anyone whom can get it. Sadly though, Viz appears to be releasing the volumes every 4 months And the chapters are being released by Weekly Shounen Sunday; doesn't that mean it is a weekly release like Negima? Quote:
And yes, Ch8 was when Nagi and Maria got carried away and dressed him up in Nekomimi.

For some weird reason I was thinking it was the same magazine as FMA - not the same magazine as Midori no Hibi. EDIT: I also don't really get the ZnT references - I guess at some level it seems like it, but it has a much different feel to me. In a lot of ways it reminds me of a less-ecchi, reversed He Is My Master.

Hmm...the manga started in 2004, so I'm guessing the usual 3 months or something per volume? I'm reading through the scanslations/raws again to tide me over till Viz releases Vol 2. Its just that good

Let's put it this way, I have the manga and frankly, this is one of the few manga series I have that after reading it ~8 times over, I still want to re-read it .
HMM, on the other hand....(look at the plastic storage box on my floor... In other word, if I had to burn my manga one by one to save the world, this series would be among the last ones I would burn . The jokes are somewhat similar to PPD, with many ACG parodies/references and ironic moments- lots of "Kyon style" scolding (I don't know what's the english name for that term is). Thankfully, the jokes are much more straightforward than PPD is. One of the main attraction about this manga is that there is a plot that makes sense (for a comedy) (even though 8 volumes later, only 3 months have past in the story...). Most people stop reading after the 1st volume because they were repulsed at how horrible the main character's parents are- they are beyond cruel, in a very hilarious sort of way ;D If you can last through the first 2 volumes, however, you are in the clear. I originally stopped following the story after two volumes, but its popularity compelled me to resume.

Hayate anime has been announced.
I came to heaven and returned back. I will probably go to heaven again if my dream cast list is fulfilled.

I really wonder how the hell can THIS be translated for general public. I find myself reading through the cultural references like 1/3 of the time(and I am already fairly educated in them, so it's going to be many times worse for ordinary people), and still A LOT of the jokes completely loose their punch.
Stupid, stupid choice for Viz. |
