hontou ni Stripey Insists Sisters Cry Oniichan Now

Hayate no Gotoku!! 14-16

When I was told about this, frankly I was quite surprised that Nagi's prediction didn't come true - the power of the KugiRie fanbase is not as awesome in the face of Hinagiku's awesomeness?

Her boots, I like. I like very much. And, of course, appearing at the moment of distress and dilemma like a (pink) knight in shining armour. Though, in the best of Hayate no Gotoku fashion, the reason why she's really there is completely LOL which takes the shining knight down a notch.

'He wants to avoid me that much?' On the one hand, misunderstanding continues apace because Hina doesn't have much of a chance to talk to Hayate alone. Or Maria for that matter. On the other hand, perhaps she has yet to understand the depths of his butlerly devotion to Nagi?

Given that they've known Hayate for more than a year or so already, shouldn't they be a little less surprised at his antics? Well, it was nice to see the SD faces though.

First stabbing by Maria-san. Hina and Maria definitely need to talk more.

Could have rubbed salt into the wound by a close-up focus on Maria-san's assets and BOING sound effect.

????? Second stabbing by Maria-san. LOL

Which is why, in general, the truth (vastly over-rated) hurts more than lies.

The answer is within. To do what you think is right. Which tends to be buried rather deeply when you're a tsundere chara. And Hina's superficial excavation, taking to the honourable but superficial route, just like how she drew the wrong conclusion about her previous irritation being due to their unfinished fight from the Free Style Marathon, sets the scene for yet more suffering our pink-haired goddess. The path of the tsundere forest is a long and thorny one indeed.

Did I mention I love her boots?

Knight in shining armour arrives yet again. To claim Maria and (just this once) Nagi for her THREESOME.

There's just something about Shizu-sama-voiced charas and foot job fanart. But this wasn't quite what I had in mind.

What!? No Hina in hot springs scene? ;_;

Given the revelation about Hayate's resemblance to Nagi's late mom, Yukariko, could this work out as a plot device for Nagi to finally realize this and to change Hayate's designation from potential lover closeness to family relative-type closeness (by the power of Stripey - 'Oniichan'?) Which would make a Hayate x Hina pairing a little less likely?
