So it took them two years to get back together? Never a fan of when authors do that. A month or two I guess but really two years?!
I feel like it got so rushed at the end for all the chapters we had that didnt really do anything. Heck Nagi's birthday party was one panel and Hayate's was that even mentioned? Nagi got a job to buy him a watch but nothing ever happened from it. The ring Athena gave Hayate also seems to be another mystery unless I missed something there. Athena found it from Hina's sister but was that ever mentioned again?
So many chapters got wasted on random stuff that the ending seems so rushed.

Damn that scene with the parents is satisfying. I hoped they get killed but seeing them possibly going to be tortured is nice

What a ride. It does feel like the ending is rushed with all the time skips preceding the climax of the final arc, and the afterstory is a big letdown for me. Overall, a great manga with some of the most clever 4th wall breaks I've ever seen, a number of likeable characters with some nice interactions between them and generally a fun story that doesn't take itself seriously, for the most part at least.

Ahhhh, owari da. It's finally over. This was the longest manga I've ever read and I gotta say, I'm not disappointed. Despite the pointless chapters, I enjoyed every bit of it. It wasn't boring and it was somehow kept fresh, it didn't feel like a rehash of previous chapters. It was consistently good and entertaining. But that doesn't mean it didn't have flaws. While I did enjoy these chapters, a lot of them felt wasted. There are still questions lingering in my mind that could've been covered by these pointless chapters. I'm not gonna state them obviously as this series is so long I would go on a tangent.
The story isn't the main point of this series, for me at least but what it stands for. A gag manga that should've only lasted for a year but kept going for 13 years because of its random yet witty humor. It doesn't take itself seriously while also using those parts as its main plot, like with the first misunderstanding. Like I said before, the humor feels fresh and never recycled. It references popular medium that fans would enjoy and provides a great easter egg hunt. Characters have their own personality that makes them unique and lovable. Their interactions keep this story lively and fun. This is the reason why I find Hayate entertaining for over 568 chapters.
Now for the story itself. It's not original yet it has its own identity. Hayate takes these popular tropes, clichés, twists and plot devices and make it its own. The story isn't something groundbreaking but will still keep you engaged and entertained nonetheless.
The best arc in my opinion is A-tan's arc. It deals with human relationships and how it can make and destroy you while also providing good character development for both protagonist and heroine of said arc. I am still sad that both of them parted ways and I was hoping that she still has a chance because I can see the fire still burning. But alas, it didn't happen. A-tan is still best girl though.
That's pretty much it. I don't know why I keep switching between formal and informal speeches but just think of that as an overall review and how I'm serious about this. Anyway if you read this, I hope you liked it.
Overall score: 8.5/10.

Well... its finally over... i spent my supposed time studying for exam reading this in a few days. But it was worth it. I find the story extremely enjoyable and fun to read however what happened to the concept of mortal blows? Then again i at this moment i havent read the epilouge so yeah... Tbh i came here cuz i heard of it from tonikaku cawaii. No regrets. It was by far one of the best series i read. This is one of my first comment on the site so... this comment might not be phrased that good
Welp goodluck for my remaining exams

Binged this in four days and I guess I don't mind the ending that much considering first girl Nagi would obviously win :L
Bummed out that Ruka didn't win as I liked her the most out of the Hayate girls but only by a little compared to Athena & Hina but hey we now got Tonikaku Kawaii to read

This was truly a magnificent anime and do believe me when I say this but I would love to support hata kenjiro and wish he continues to give us his art and fills us with what he produced and if I can get something that is actually what he is offering (like action figures and key chains) I would have the best interest to go buy something from him and what he did to get at this point. Keep up the work and good luck.

Worst ending evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. How could the author pull this after having Hayate explicitly stating that he doesn't view Nagi in a romantic light and after having the final arc be about her growing up and be independent? Ruka and A-tan didn't lose just for Hinagiku's confession to be cutoff in the middle, gdi.

Legitimately F YOUUUUH AUTHOR. I spent years of my childhood cheering for Hinagiku. Constantly watch her on the top 3 of character popularity. Saw her fighting for Hayate over and over again, especially in Athena arc. See her make a rival pact with Ayumu. All of that to never even give her proper confession scene.

Wow, what a disappointing ending. I'm surprised he did the common mistake of having a huge dramatic battle arc that sucks up all the oxygen and takes up all the time and pages in the final stretch.
That also makes it impossible to have enough time to resolve all the loose plot threads and ensure that people have their relationships portrayed in a meaningful and fun way. Plus, all the developments that were shown were nonsensical and just felt random.
And arguably the worst girl "won" it seems. Hinagiku should've been the one, and it was insulting enough when the site story with Ruka was there to attempt to knock Hinagiku off. I wish the author had never started Ad Astra while he was still doing Hayate.
Ad Astra sucks, and it probably took time and energy away from this series, which the author could not afford. The "drama" and the battles were the worst aspects of Hayate, and the ingenious humor were the best parts, but he doubled down on the wrong aspects at the end and finished on a weak note in a stupid way.
I still enjoyed most of Hayate no Gotoku, but just like with Gintama and many other manga, I hate to see a good humorous manga throw away its strengths to double down on its weaknesses to try and be "dramatic" at the end, and for Hayate to choose the wrong / worst girl on top of that, even though Nagi's ending was supposed to be about her growing up, that was just dumb. So was Maria cutting all ties instead of just saying goodbye in a normal way and being one phone call away, etc.
It's all just so contrived and dumb it's almost pitch meeting worthy. It's one giant facepalm. Plus there's the fact that Nagi probably should've had enough assets to still be comfortable through stuff like real estate and investments to where she wouldn't have to live as modestly as she did at the end. But I've ranted on enough, so I'll just stop by saying that the ending sucked.
