I think things are heading the way I've thought they would for quite some time. Nagi seems to be outgrowing the need to be constantly guarded by Hayate. It seems this is her very first step on independence. Of course, she's got a long way to go before she becomes actually independent and Hayate will be watching over her while she gives her first steps.
This is good development, I believe. I want to see more of Luca, though, and what that Yozora girl is up to.

Unless Nagi orders him away (like Athena did), he'll never leave Nagi willingly.

Turning momentarily to the real world, I find it interesting that the current arc is unfolding amidst an anime season with shows that are about being an otaku (Bakapacuman, The World Dog Only Knows, Orekillmoe, etc.). Must be something in the air.

However, I think Nagi becoming independent, little by little, is a good thing on many different levels. To begin with, it is really good for her character development. It also makes the manga more interesting, and it's good to take it from the slump it was in. It also adds the possibility that, since Nagi may reach a point in which she becomes independent enough, she decides to let Hayate go (i.e. assuming he hasn't fallen for her, and/or that Nagi learned that he's not in love with her and about what actually happened back when they first met), so that he can starts a relationship with one of the other girls. That, or since Nagi may have been developed enough, she may actually start a relationship with Hayate. Listen to this man.

Its actually rather simple, Nagi's Arc = Plot-wise Arc, Anybody else except Hayate, A-tan and Maria = Fillers, and yes, its also include Hina

Can you prove that? Mind you, I do not think the manga has been developed in a way that Hayate and Nagi will end up together. I've said that plenty of times in this thread. But that's all I can do. I have no idea what Hata plans to do with this manga.
Just be careful when you take things for granted. The world goes round, and it sometimes brings something back to slap you in the face. This is just a friendly piece of advice. Quote:

They may be support characters, but they are so relevant to the story, that referring to the moments in which they receive focus as fillers, in my opinion, is just wrong.

Jeez, it seems that things always fall back to the ground that is shipping. When all is said and done, shipping is only a single aspect of character use/development. Which reminds me -- I wish Hata would give something that distinguishes Risa a bit more. Miki has her Hinagiku crush and Izumi has her meeting with Hayate from waaay back, but Risa is just . . . there, as a chorus member. Even minor characters need something distinguishing.

Sometimes it seems the only thing you can do is avoid talking about any of the "main" (Nagi, Athena, Hina) girls too much. Anyone who doesn't have a huge shipping base is easier to discuss without getting sidetracked by shipping wars. Quote:
It's true though that she has virtually no background or character development and what is there (Miko) is almost entirely unused. Still, I think she works well enough. Not every support character needs to be well-rounded and three dimensional. |

It's always a great pleasure to know your thoughts, madmac. I suppose my desire to have Risa a bit more fleshed out exists because it seems that almost all the other characters surpass her in terms of development/background. I mean, her fellow chorusmates, Yukiji, and even Tama are more fleshed out. To me, the only character that is less fleshed out is Shiranui. It all seems a little unfair for poor Risa. But as you said, she works well enough.

During her travel with the other two, she did hint that she had kissed a guy, which might indicate she's a Hero Of Another Story just waiting to be told. Maybe she'll get an arc later on, when the story's back where Hata is happy with the way things are going/working/flowing/whatever again. And maybe she'll get to shot another reptile, and explain why she carries a tranq gun. About him leaving Nagi eventually, it's not going to happen. He has his promise of eternal protection over her (at the same time he thinks of his promise of eternal love for Athena), though I don't think that'll extend to romance. That's not to say he, possibly, won't fall in love with Nagi, he's just going to protect her beyond the space of romance. Even if she orders him to leave her side, he'll still find a way to protect her because of that promise.

To give other character's shippers a chance to participate in the next Popularity Contest, too:
There's an online version which normal people can use, too. Doughnut Gunso wrote a small Howto on his blog here: http://doughnutgunsoshayatereport.wo...how-do-i-vote/ And to help with the names a bit for those not proficient with moonrunes, here the most important ones translated: Code:
