My guess is that his two things he really wants to say will be serious but he will say random stuff before. I mean, it is not like he can only say two things to her and that is it. He just happens to have to well thought out things to say to her. And a lot of random confusing babble will come out before that. |

No, what you said is that there can be romance and comedy; you didn't say anything about a proper mood (unless that's your idea of a proper mood, because that'd be a different thing). Quote:
Anyway, I think we're talking about preferences now. So, there's not really much to discuss.

Then you must have skipped of Sakuya's birthday. No no, I'm not going to spoil if for you by pointing what which part, you'll just have to read the story... Quote:
So you're saying that the next time Hayate meets Athena and talks to her, it would NOT be tense, but rather happy, bubbly and lighthearted? Oh okay, if you insist. And, I never said that I was refering to what Hayate is currently thinking to himself, why are you bring that up? Quote:

Which is basically the same thing as I've said, only with extras.

I know I'm bringing up an old topic, but I suddenly had a strange idea:
young Hayate thought about seeing 'A-tan'(Athena) and he ended up seeing 'A-tan' (Maria) As for the reason why young Hayate knows Maria? Maybe that mirror shows you people you'll get to know in future as well. Or there are some truths in Hayate's past to be revealed... |

What about it?

Why would the lack of comedy make the scene tragic? I understand your point of view in which having Hayate saying something silly would go along with other things we've seen in the manga, my point is, comedy in this kind of situations would simply ruin the mood. With mood, I'm not talking about the sad feeling of the time they parted with each other, but the mood one would usually expect in a scene where characters like these 2 get to start anew (whatever their relationship may end up like).

I don't get you, you keep bring things up that has nothing to do with what I've originally said. Quote:
Then you keep saying things like Hayate has already thought about what to say. Which does not in fact mean any damn thing to the tension of the situation when they finally meet. Quote:
Quote:
That's it. That's all I've said. And even before that all I've said was Which I've already explained that I meant ONE romantic line to win the girl, whatever he says is up to your imagination. And ONE comedy line to break the T-E-N-S-I-O-N of the situation. So please, explain to me, why is it bad to remove tension?

As I mentioned before. The two lines can be serious. He can say more then just two things. He currently has two things he really wants to say to her and those are probably be serious. The stupidity and randomness can come before that with stuff he hasn't preplanned.

Just to stray a bit, do you guys expect Izumi to play any interesting role any time soon? Additionally, what kind of relationship do you think Maria may have had with Athena? What may she know about her?
I know what chapter you're talking about, what I'd like to know is why you've mentioned it. Quote:

tl;dr: I don't want the scene to be sad/tragic, but I'd like it to start serious and end up being heart-warming. But, who knows? The author may decide to add some comedy in it and I may end up liking it. After all, I did say the addition of a new character this late would be stupid, and just look, Athena is my favourite character now. Quote:

Wait, plot twist? Is there really someone that expects the series to end any other way? Of course he'll end up with Nagi. That's the way things go. Athena doesn't have a chance in hell. I've never read a romantic comedy where the main character ends up with a girl that doesn't show up until nearly 200 chapters in. Hell, I can't think of any harem series I've read where the guy ends up with a girl that doesn't show up in the first chapter. The childhood sweetheart/best friend always loses to the new girl in the main characters life. Except when they're occasionally the same person. I forsee one of two endings. A) There's no real final word on the relationship and Hayate continues to work for Nagi, or B) Flash forward a few years and Hayate and Nagi are getting married. Any other ending will leave me stunned. |

However, I do agree that it would be surprising if he ended up with Athena. She will for sure have a huge influence on the plot and on his relationships in general, but I don't think he is going to end up with her. I mean he did only throw her in after almost 200 chapters so she has not gotten nearly as much screen time as anyone else. She has become popular with everyone, but I doubt the author for sure guessed this would happen. And I do not think the author would risk the wrath of his readers by trying to have the ending be with a largely unknown and brand new character. My guess is still a Hina or Maria ending. No idea which I prefer more. Probably Hinagiku, but that is mostly because I believe she deserves it after the junk the author has already put her through. However Maria was the first one that he had a crush on in the manga that we could see so I don't know. The only thing that makes me think that a Nagi end is possible is that prophecy type thing that Nagi's Grandfather made that if Hayate follows his stones guidance he will get tons and tons of money. And I can only guess that he would get it through marrying Nagi. ... Sheesh. I could probably write an essay on Hayate the Combat Butler if I wanted. |

That's why Hayate no Gotoku is different, from the very beginning Hayate has zero romantic interest in Nagi- Something that has been stressed over and over again. Either by Hayate's own words or by him humorously showing how oblivious he is to her feelings. Quote:
Oh I agree, and it can very simply be seen as brotherly love.

The ending would most likely be like any other manga of this genre... It will *hint* at him going with a specific character, most likely Nagi, since he is her butler, but keep it vague eneough to keep everyone to be happy. Or it can go to worst case scenario, and we can get a KJ school rumble ending...

Open endings are made to please everyone... as a previous poster said, it's more fun when it's open to speculation. That doesn't mean hints can't be given.
An absolute ending where he ends up with someone will piss off 3 in 4 fans who hoped he would end up with one of the four lead girls. (Nagi, Mari, Hinagiku, Athena), or 5 if you include Hamster. It is that exact reason why School Rumble manga ended the way it did, fans liked all the pairs too evenly... I think think of one absolute ending where fans were divided all the way up until the end, and pissed off a lot of people... and that is Ichigo 100%. On the other hand, absolute endings like Suzuka Manga is fine since there is only one possible pair. You can't win it all |
