Hayate the Combat Butler, Vol. 49

A hilarious tale of butlers, love and battles!

Since the tender age of nine, Hayate Ayasaki has busted his behind at various part-time jobs to support his degenerate gambler parents. And how do they repay their son’s selfless generosity? By selling his organs to the yakuza to cover their debts! But fate throws Hayate a bone…sort of. Now the butler of a wealthy young lady, Hayate can finally pay back his debts, and it’ll only take him 40 years to do it.

The final battle for the Sanzenin fortune is underway! To secure Nagi’s future, Hayate has to take on ruthless heir Hisui and her combat maid. Friends, foes, and blasts from the past assemble in what feels suspiciously like the buildup to a climactic story arc. We must be witnessing the end-times, because Nagi’s latest manga is actually pretty good. It’s the story of a rich girl and her butler…who fall in love?
