About the author
Without ever receiving any kind of manga award, Kenjiro Hata’s first series,
Umi no Yuusha Lifesavers, was published in
Shonen Sunday Super. He followed that up with his smash hit
Hayate the Combat Butler.
Summary
A hilarious tale of butlers, love and battles!
Since the tender age
of nine, Hayate Ayasaki has busted his behind at various part-time jobs to
support his degenerate gambler parents. And how do they repay their son’s
selfless generosity? By selling his organs to the yakuza to cover their debts!
But fate throws Hayate a bone...sort of. Now the butler of a wealthy young lady,
Hayate can finally pay back his debts, and it’ll only take him 40 years to
do it.
Ruka has thrown down the gauntlet! By confessing her feelings for
Hayate and going in for a lip-lock, the idol singer turned manga artist puts our
hero in danger of actually getting a girlfriend. To stop this unacceptable
slackening of romantic tension, Nagi makes an offer Ruka can’t refuse. Now
Hayate’s fate rests on the outcome of a manga-drawing competition between
the two aspiring artists. Does Hayate have any say on which girl he ends up
with? Ha ha, of course not.
