Hayate the Combat Butler!! 06-07 brought some of the most hilarious lovecom I’ve seen in months, but underneath it all there’s more to be asserted in the midst of Hayate’s QUALITY harem.
Her name is Hinagiku, she has her own ED.
There is much to fanboy over, but what strikes most is her level of attainable perfection; she’s not perfect, though definitely perfect enough. It’s a superb situation.
Dazzling, radiant starletBut Hina’s awesomeness is beside the point… non, non non… it is exactly the point; her chivalric moment.
What we receive from Hina in these two episodes is resonant; a familiar situation. Less, her awesome inner probing for true feelings, and more her reliance on the simple pretense of Ayumu X Hayate (thus shattering upon realization of the opposite).
Not that her inner investigation wasn’t lovely…
The first step of ツン should be denial; the inverse of a 12-step program.
Yes, I’m on about her response to Ayumu, and how it painfully sounds so similar to the unstated affairs of Kyou [and Ryou]. Having not read the manga, I have no idea how this pans out between Ayumu and Hina, but it’s expected that Ayumu’s smile of agreement senses something deeper in Hinagiku’s positive encouragement.
Beyond female intuition…
Perhaps lovely chivalry could overcome, but it only gets tougher for Hina by the second. Striking the heart, we know so well how Hina’s feelings escalated when Ayumu briefly explained Hayate’s situation.
::heartbeat:: (heartbeats)Oh the joyous allegory of Hinagiku taking in the lost/stray kitten; that’s so her…. and thus Hayate is there.
XD1000%The question is, will she really take that painful road we experienced in Kyou’s support for Ryou? I shouldn’t expect such dramatics, for this is Hayate the Combat Butler after all. Still, no reason why such an enjoyable lovecom can’t squeeze in sentiments that actually manifest with the experience.
Personally, this is how that nostalgia is built…
Now about that Nineball mini-mart…
