Shit, shouldn't have read Hayate then. Now I can't get married. Back when I first read this, I didn't get it. Now that I finished Hata's previous works and read some of Kumeta's, I can finally understand.
Now that it mention.... I just realise that when the series popularity slightly went down, Hata-sensei did add Hayate's character that cause a boost popularity...
@Rodork I know it's been a month but kumeta likely referencing to komi-san here since both of them are published in the same mag. The other one is amano megumi wa sukidarake when he told something about the girl with a lot of openings.
So much harsh reality and facts in this chapter that it have more impact than truck-kun.
Why? Because truck-kun let you escape to another world, and escaping from facts is always the easiest.
