Hayate no Gotoku! Chapter 342 Discussion

Random chapter is random.

What I don't get is why does everybody rage at "Hayate's harem" which consists of Nagi, Hinagiku, Izumi and Ayumu. Four of them. [sarcasm]Truly the biggest harem ever, right.[/sarcasm]



Well, it's only second to...Rito's harem in To-LOVE-Ru Darkness. hehe



This chapter was funny, especially Nagi's manga, even if it's not finished yet.



Ruka's doujinshi "Phoenix Warrior Iroha Karuta" was really entertaining. I'm not surprised why it was sold-out at Comic-sun. If I was there, I would've bought a copy. =)

Decent chapter, I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into another Luca like arc... If they want to delay the inevitable Athena arc so badly (which i don't know why considering the first part of it turned out as well as it did...) then at least don't start another random arc that could take who knows how long, i mean didn't Luca's arc took months... Well anyway that was the same girl that entered into the school a few chapters back right? the one who replaced Wataru in the skipping year program?

I don't know if the sarcasm is for the biggest harem ever or the people but if its the people you left out Athena, Maria, and Luca, the last two are questionable (but then again all harem's are like that so..) but at the very least i think the first one is pretty confirmed considering how the end of her arc turned out and what her coming to Japan with his ring implied.

I would honestly read Nagi's manga.

i dont know why people are complaining about the slow development, you need to understand that this manga is a parody and is mainly for comedy, it isn't meant to have a proper storyline and have all the interesting arcs come one after another, it is usually 3-4 small arcs and then one big arc



Let's just hope then that one of these days Hata remembers to put parody and comedy back into his manga. Back then, when he wasn't so forgetful, I enjoyed them much.

Fry Dolphin has the best logo ever!

It's not frustrating. It's slow-paced. I actually prefer slow development to "too fast what is going on damn it" development.



And Tsurugino has already appeared at the end of chapter 336, briefly. Can't wait to see more of her in the movie too though.



Also I find Ruka's doujinshi totally amazing. Make it into a series, I beg of you! The art! The story! The character(s)!

and yea hayate has a bit of a harem but its not like all the girls love him and who says this new girl is gonna end up falling in love with him.there's no use telling bunch of people here, they will soon realize it by themselves. A-tan was introduced at 160 something chapter and her story was played 50+ chapters after her introduction. haha and we didn't even pass to 50 chapters for the second A-tan arc and people started bitchin' since a long time ago ahahaha xDD



Agreed.. the desire for some people here to see this series devolve into endless, cliche harem garbage seems problematic. Luckily, the author seems to be pretty good at telling the story he wants, which is full of randomness and comedy, while simultaneously throwing in just enough to string along the people who, for whatever reason, get emotionally attached to seeing the main character end up with another specific character.



Really, comic relief characters like Hinagiku still get pages in the manga because of their popularity, but the author at least services these fans while sticking to his guns on being able to dictate the pace of the manga (at least, it seems that way). Just look at Athena, who is still around purely because of her popularity despite her story already being resolved and concluded 80-90 chapters ago.

Nagi's manga was quite interesting.

New girl screams of otaku and cosplayer, putting a tent on the middle of a park and then getting arrested, priceless.

funny chaptern :D i was hoping for it to be longer because of its 7 year anniversary, i think that girl with the alien costume was in the hayate no gotoku movie and is supposed to play a big part in nagi's development

I feel like the mangaka is a complete asshole at this point....



WTF is this???



I understand this manga has always been random, but seriously, this is fucking stupid....just GO and stop delaying this shit already...



FUCK, this manga has become so frustrating!
