V08C79. Hina’s stepmom makes herself scarce (beauty parlour then meeting up with Yukiji) in order to let our pinkhaired heroine enjoy a home-cooked dinner with just Hayate. They bump into each other as Hina prepares to shop for groceries but her attempt to confront Hayate about his relationship with Ayumu ‘Hamster’ Nishizawa is derailed when he asks her about what she likes to eat. And Hina’s favourite foods are curry and hamburgers - which are apparently common ‘favourite foods’ of guys. (What would be stereotypical girly favourite foods?) Their conversation continues to be at cross purposes, with Hayate behaving normally but Hinagiku becoming increasingly irritated due to the Hamster factor. But they still look couplely enough, ah light hearted high schoolers’ conversation; die couples die ;)

I had intended to post my Hinagikuism comments on the whole volume 8 of the manga but it’s just easier to work in smaller parts. Especially since these four chapters have been scanlated by Musashi; many thanks for the great work! (The extracts in this post are from the raw scans though. Looking forward to the next big Kinokuniya sale to acquire Vol.4 onwards!)
V08C75. Hayate has to leave the mansion after Nagi feels awkward that he saw her in the bath previously. Maria gives him a very generous amount to take care of accommodation but, with his incredible bad luck, he manages to have almost all of it frittered away. Cold, alone, sad boy in snow with nowhere to go. But riding to the rescue is Hinagiku! Some comparisons have been made between Hayate’s initial meeting with Nagi to this scene. Fans of a HayaHina pairing would certainly see this as a major point in the development of their relationship.
Translation help request at the bottom of this post! Onegai shimasu!
V06.Ch060.p126-7: Tough love from Hina towards Yukiji who gets much less prize money than she expected after winning the free style marathon. Yeah, show her who’s Boss/Oneesama here, Hina! LOL at the insult that Yukiji uses on Hina; how can that be a bad thing especially if you accept the Konata/Mayumi Thyme argument? :3

Rough manga notes based on Mentar’s recommendations. The volume.chapter.page referencing is based on the Musashi scanlation file naming convention.
V05.Ch052.p180: ‘Her.’ Nagi identifies Hinagiku as the greatest obstacle to coming in first place for a school athletics festival event; if she doesn’t Klaus can fire Hayate. Absolutely lovely how Hina wears her authority of Student Council President both stylishly and lightly, drawing the line but making an exception and then showing courteous but also teasing hospitality to Hayate.

It’ll probably be a few more years before TSRI releases a HnG DVD thinpak-boxset, so as an alternative I’ve been eyeing the 23 volumes of the Hikaru no Go manga for the longest time and they are finally mine! There’s currently a 20% discount for Kinokuniya members until 27 June - I thought that I would miss out on it as my membership had expired and it normally takes up to 3 weeks to process new membership applications. But the very helpful staff issued me a card on the spot. Needless to say, armed with shiny new membership card, my spending limiter was released from AA to S class. SET UP Moyism mode! (Also bought myself Lucky Star Vol. 3 and 4 as well as The Splintering of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel.)
