Mentar: Don’t forget Volume 10. THAT makes the Pink Princess much more..

But yes, Hina’s trying not to let the idea of Hayate being unavailable bother her… which means she gets more upset when he’s acting free and clear, when he is and yet not hitting on anyone (but looks like he is). If she knew he was available, and she didn’t feel compelled NOT to go for him.. she would.

Great points, Mentar. It’s really interesting how many chapters it takes to resolve the Hamster x Hayate misunderstanding. As well as the whole ‘Ayasaki-kun’ thing due to her being angry at him for what he did to her during the special marathon - that spanned several volumes! That would be pretty hard to transfer over the anime format… perhaps that’s why they’ve gutted the manga? I’ve always thought it was strange given how crushingly popular Hinagiku was in the manga chara polls.

Also, now when I read Hinagiku’s dialogue, I hear it in Shizuka Itou’s voice. Really lovely feeling~~~

I think one thing should be mentioned here:

As you wrote, Hina is convinced that Hayate has accepted Hamster’s confession. Therefore, she is reacting more and more irritated that he doesn’t ACT this way.

This is a significant deviation from the usually very positive-playful Hinagiku with tons of confidence to spare. She does care for Hayate, but at the same time he’s seriously grating on her nerves due to his insensitivity to his “girlfriend” - yet.

These chapters begin “The Suffering of the Pink Princess” ^_^;
