Hayate no Gotoku!

More news from youtube and why you shouldn't become a youtuber: They won't let you monetise your content unless you have at least 1000 subs.https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2018/01/additional-changes-to-youtube-partner.htmlNow bootleg channels will strive will original-ish content channels will suffer. RIP izumi and the gang

. . . I already had my closure with the series.

It's like ending the series all over again but with even more questions; questions that will NEVER be answered. Plus, this coincided with Batoto's demise so it's even more depressing for me.

This still doesn't change the fact that this series will always be one of my personal favorites.

The ending is kind of a letdown...

But the most annoying thing for me is Hata cutting off Hayate's answer to Hina's confession.

Well, I hope Hata's future manga will be better.

This bonus chapter is pretty  depressing if you consider that Maria actually cut herself off from the cast just to teach Nagi a big lesson on independence, which I still think is a stupid idea. That overarching plot about Maria being Hayate's sister too is stupid, as there's no foreshadowing at all and hell wasn't even explored. Hata went places with his writing of this manga to the point it became very unbearable. But that doesn't mean I hate this series. It has very big flaws, but this manga had become very special to me, considering this is one of the few series I followed through till the end 6-7 years ago when I first discovered it. The ending wasn't grand, but it still tried to give every character a happy ending and for me, that's fine. At least I know that the characters I knew and love are experiencing their heaven now.

EDIT: Oh right, Hina's future is still uncertain...Dammit Hata,

man, hata really doesnt know how to write uh.

Sister? really? there wasnt even a slight foreshadow of that, total nonsense.

I kind of regret buying/reading the last volume just for that extra booklet. It kind of shows that Hata can't write an overarching plot or a coherent story and really is better off just sticking to silly comedy arcs. The reveal also kinda of made Maria somewhat of a dick. You'd think that with her EX rank Intelligence and Wealth she'd do more to help out Hayate but nope, she was barely relevant in the latter part of the manga. The reveal adds no important depth or addition to the overall narrative. Even Hisui, the so-called "Villain" does a better job in tying up the loose ends about about Hayate's parents.

i mean the whole point of her leaving them behind was to make sure Hayate and Nagi figure out their problem by themselves and help them grow. You can't spoil people or help them out all the time and expect them to grow into wonderful adults. Sometimes you have to throw them out into the wild and have them fend for themselves. Sure it looks like a "dick" move but in the long run it's the best move. You know the old saying ,"

Maria is Hayate's older sister!? Wtf... 

I reread the omake, read the extra chapter and still wonder

what the fuck magic woman is Maria?? why the fuck is she Hayate's sister?

did Hata secretly snort cocaine from time to time while writting this manga?? ... still not ver fond of who won the Hayata bowl, but it was super expected, so I understand it. (still A-tan and Hina were the best, and Hina didn't got her final chapter as almost every single other character ¬¬)

it was a good ride afterall.

Sister!?!

Time to retag all those doujins.

I wasn't expecting the youtube job thing to be taken seriously.

Btw folks, unless you have around 500k+ subs, youtube as a job is not reliable, at all. Ten thousand views will earn you somewhere around 15 USD depending if the viewers click on the ads or not which is why many youtubers resort to patreon donations.

But damn I at least wanted a story between maria and hayate again since the last major one was perhaps like what, back in the second season of anime, so before chapter 100?

If only this could have been timed as coming out as the last manga posted on bato.to before it officially shut down, it would have been perfect.

Sister!?!

For those who still care, vol 52 also came with an extra booklet with some notes by the author. Naturally, spoilers ahead.

Spoiler

- Hata saying that Hina might become a teacher
- Athena goes back to living on the island, might consider have her become an actress or entrepreneur
- Isumi is envisioned as being continuing her magic battles against other supernatural entities
- Izumi is aiming to work for NASA or similar industry and is studying hard to do so
- Among Nagi, Ruka and Chiharu, Chiharu's work sells the most. It's hardcore BL.
- Yukiji quit her teaching job after performing at the school fest, may be pursuing a career in music (no mention of what happened to Gundam-sensei)

Regarding Maria:
- Real name is Ayasaki Maria, Hayate's older sister from a different mother
- Hata originally envisioned a story involving the protagonist finding out that the girl he likes is blood related.
- Maria also knew for a long time that they're related
- Hata envisioned Maria as like Mary Poppins, hence why the booklet also contained an extra chapter with Maria working as a maid in some school's infirmary.

Thanks, that cleared up a lot of things

I was half expecting

I think that this omake is talking about how Maria bet that Nagi would be able to stand up for herself. It was impossible at the start of the manga but she could do it by the end.

Can someone remind me(in spoiler quotes for those reading) what was her bet?

I have no idea what is going on in that Omake.

any1 care to explain whats going on?

Maria's talking as if she doesn't expect Hayate to have the wallet...
