[Manga] Hayate the Combat Butler

Genres: Comedy, shounen
Volumes: 8 (ongoing)
Scanlated: 4 and a bit ![]()
Author: Hata Kenjiro
Moetron reports that Hayate the Combat Butler is getting an anime! I’m sure a lot of people have heard about this manga, Hayate the Combat Butler, but for those who haven’t, it’s an awesome comedy with perhaps a little romance, revolving around a teenage boy (Hayate) who winds up with a massive debt which he cannot pay off. Having worked hard all his life, when he finds out the sum of the money he has to pay back, he snaps and decides to kidnap someone for ransom. However, the person he targets ends up being the daughter of a very rich family, and instead of kidnapping her, he saves her from the mafia and gets hired as her butler. Of course, the main storyline is simply of him and his butler duties, but this will expand later on. Don’t want to spoil too much anyway. There are currently 7 volumes and is still ongoing, while 4 volumes have been scanlated for us non-Japanese readers. I highly recommend this read; you will love it. And if you already do love, you will be pleased to hear, if you haven’t already, that it is getting an anime! Oops, I already mentioned it above, but just in case you missed it somehow. Hopefully the studio that does it will be relatively good, and definitely not something like the guys who did Yoake. If KyoAni does this, it will be godly!
Well then, I can’t really explain what this manga is about in any more detail; it’s a comedy remember. So how about a few pages to change your mind? Remember, read from right to left!

And so Hayate finally cracks it…

And finally another teaser later in the manga when Hayate has become Nagi’s (the girl) butler…


Now go and read the goddamn manga!
