Hayate no Gotoku! Chapter 568 (Final Chapter) Discussion

And I think everyone agrees that the End of the World Arc is the best arc there is in this series.

A-tan best girl!



A bit disappointed in the ending but it was still a heck of a roller coaster ride with all Hata-sensei's references to media.

The most interesting part of the finale was Hata's afterthoughts. How he thought he didn't think it would last that long and he thought it would take at most 10 months (Wow i didn't know that) And that ending was actually what he wanted to do from the start and it was really heartwarming with him saying "This manga has changed my entire life" he could've said life but he actually said entire life, I think i like Hata more now and since he said he is not retiring i'll be looking forward to his next work. Even if the ending was really disappointing still gonna be my favorite manga that saved me at one point in my life. And i'm gonna eternally grateful to Hata for all these years.



That part with "I'll buy you a cake" REALLY REALLY reminded me of Arakita from Yowapeda "I'll buy you a bepsi" legendary scene

I started this manga when I was 16, and now I'm 27, and just finished it yesterday...at first I had mixed feelings. I like the build-up and they actually made me care about the whole Royal Palace thing despite being way more interested in how the characters end up.



I think the one weird thing for me was how Hina's confession was cut off, I expected us to get back to that at some point but we just...never did. At first it was hard to accept Nagi being the one who won, simply because it seemed like it was leading up to the girls dropping one by one and it naturally seemed she was one of them.



But after thinking more about it, even if there's some argument for the ending being rather open since it could just be Hayate wanting to be back in Nagi's life to help her, now that she has matured and grown, and they can stand as equals, the more I realize this ending is fine. Hayate admited initially it was a misunderstanding, and when he was asked if he loved Nagi he had no response. It's not impossible that he hadn't even thought about her that way since he was so focused on being a butler. When given some time, he decided he did want to continue being with her.



Which would mean that when Hina confessed, he couldn't accept her feelings because he was still processing his own.



Through all of its flaws, this is a series I will always hold dear, that has made me laugh so so much and tear up, and feel all sorts of emotions, and it all started with a misunderstanding.

Yeah I have to say I am not surprised Hayate ended up with Nagi, but as others have said it is deeply frustrating considering it had seemed to me like he might actually be taking the more courageous route of making them more a big bro/lil sis relationship. He really fooled me when Hayate admitted to not loving her in that way. Instead he went the usual way of first girl/MC. Perhaps he thought a 16-year-old getting together with a 13 year-old was inappropriate, but I'm not sure a two year time skip at the end really makes it much better when they've only aged a year throughout the story. It's just a strange choice to me when your own character polls show that Hina was by far the most popular character to not have her and Hayate end up together.

I don't understand how anyone can give this thing a score higher than a 5/10, especially after that ending.

That was quite the terrible ending.

I started watching this series back in 2008 ..then I got to know about the manga...

And now I am 26 ..i finished the manga 3 years ago

I am a hinagiku fan...for her cuteness along her personality and caring towards all.. And self sacrificing attitude towards hayate

I feared this would happen that hayate  probably end up with nagi...

As hatas favourite was always nagi...but honestly hats made characters like hina is so perfect that beats the main character as well



But this manga had a rushed ending ...

Hayate never had that type of feeling towards nagi... Just protecting type... It always was...



Hayate fan base still rooting for hina.. It was a injustice to her after what she went through... She deserved a bit better..

Nonetheless hayate the combat butler will always be in my mind.. Came to know about such characters in the series specially hayate and hina



I still think hats can revisit the manga and make a spin off?

Cause the series has still some potential left..  And newer readers of tonikaku kawai will also know the masterpiece of hayate series..



I just saw the hina 3 album video for the cover(officially).. It was so well made for them like a couple that were meant to be

Hope Someday I will live to see Hina gets what she deserved

Gee that choice was disappointing. Though, I don't really mind. From the start, Hayate doesn't seem to have any special feeling toward the any of the girls except Ah-tan, though unfortunately she stepped off at the end of her own arc. So any girl he chooses doesn't feel forced to me, even when the girl is Fumi or Isumi.





Maria and Ah-tan are the better choices btw.

Edit: Nvm. Ah-tan's the better choice.
