... my opinion on this chapter
1. Glad that Maria appeared at last. 2. But not very entertaining chapter. (I guess I expected something more funny since I've been waiting for comedy chapters for long, long time) 3. Looking forward to something more interesting next chapter. |

Perhaps some Hayate and Maria development?
Man.. things here have died down quite a fair bit after the Athena arc. I suppose Hata achieved his goal of making Athena a significant "wow" factor in the series even though she was introduced quite late into the series. Reading HnG ain't that captivating as before really.. well in my opinion anyway. The withdrawal of the engaging storyline just made things a lil' plain when he suddenly jumps back to the gags (not that going back to gag's are bad...but it's just like jumping straight into a cold pool after a warm jacuzzi). He should've made the transition from Greece to Japan smoother in my opinion.. pulling that off with a flashback almost immediately after the arc is a rough transition. |

Worst part is that these chapters seem to each be doing 1 day in that week, so we still have another month and a half (most likely) before this "house issue" resolves. |

Well, to be fair, I do think Hata has tried to make some transition with Nagi officially having to move out, and the whole Klauss flashback. It isn't as if he jumped into gags suddenly. Additionally, we know that some sort of Bakuman-esque story will unfold eventually - or so it seems - and I guess it may be rather funny.
In the end, I think it'll come down to getting used to the change in pacing and development.

Having just marathoned my way through the last hundred or so chapters...
Am I the only one who thinks there might be some sort of connection between Shiranui and Hayate's brother? Yes, I know, it's an utterly insane theory, but those two have the same scar on the forehead, black hair/fur, Shiranui doesn't exactly behave like a cat (although obviously not to Tama-levels of anthropomorphism), appeared out of nowhere... |

Actually, I noticed that she already had a gradual increase in her bust during the golden week arc. Off screen development +1? (or is it 3 now?) Nothing much to comment, except Maria is always nice to have around. @The Sandman Many already saw that there could be a connection between the two, sort of like a special bloodline or legacy. But at the moment, there isn't much to go by except that they both attracted to little girls for some reason.

A lot of people have wondered if there was a connection between Ikusa and Shiranui, but there's really not much to go on. Mostly people have been wondering if Ikusa got himself turned into a kitten somehow.

In fact you will see more manga's where the good/nice girls win rather than not. Its just lately we have the tsundere boom but if you look at number of manga's in general I don't think you have the rights to complain about standard normal girls not winning. |

^ I think Athena's also a rude, though busty tsundere, which makes it three then. My my I guess Hayate has 3 tsunderes under him then, each willing to give him a piece of their mind if he does something stupid.

In a way similar to Hayate, Hina needed a change of scenery (or different parents for that matter). Hayate was able to survive on his own until finally meeting Nagi. (Hope I got this right) Hina would of had a much tougher time surviving on her own or getting a new family without her older sister. I would think she would know what Hayate is going through which would give me one more reason to support Hina and Hayate.
Outside of showing a fear of heights, even if she is suffering emotionally, she doesn't show it as much. But sometimes she suffers to a point where even some can notice (involving Hayate in both cases). Spoiler for Volume 14 and a more recent one:

Nagi and Athena both got hit hard, dead parents (Nagi and most possibly the same to Athena as well) and nobody to ease their despair at that time, with Nagi sulking for long periods of time (which eventually lead to her hikikomori life) and Athena most likely taking a deal with the devil (erm, Midas) and getting trapped in that Royal garden for a long time that would bring great sadness to anyone to the brink of insanity. All in all, nope, Hina isn't the most tragic out of the three.
