----------------------------------------
Nagi's planning to buy something for Hayate for his b-day.

At the same time, a person who associated with Hinagiku invited Hayate for the job, Maria offered Nagi for working together. Ayumu was also working there!

There looks like Ayumu and Nagi are competing.

The mangaka of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei came to the shop!

Maria's worried about Nagi and came, people in black helped her "cosplay", which all of them know it was Maria.

The mangaka fell in love with Maria!! How Hayate saved Maria angered her!

Sometimes I wonder if you even know what you're watching. It was obviously "Shitsubou Sensei" and the author's name is nowhere near the actual author of Zetsubou Sensei.
A good parody including that nonetheless though.

I thought it was cute how Hayate and Nishizawa acted after their little run-in though, blushing is great. I also can't help but love how the thought of Hayate liking Maria crossed her mind. As long as it's not Nagi. <3

the part where he declared Maria to be a man really did remind me of SZS, I nearly died laughing.

favorite part was probably the original ending of that manga though XD

its so sad that all of Maria's cosplay attempts fail so completely but no one's willing to tell her ;)

am I mistaken, or didn't Nagi already buy Hayate a watch in the last season?

Nagi referenced my top two favorite animes in a mere two sentences. I love this show.

And aside from that, the rest of the episode was really awesome too. I was laughing the entire time.

Nice episode, followed the manga nicely, 'cept for Nishizawa's underclothes >.< And later Nagi still punishes Hayate for seeing her nude.. except he didn't.

Sakuya's b-day next episode, I think Ayumu and Hina scene gets included.

Maria was hilarious in this episode. Awesome comedy.

AHHH. Hayate's birthday is 4 days before mine XD Awesome.

So much Hayate abuse in this episode. My god. EVERYONE was raping him. Too bad what's his name that's in love with Hayate didn't come in..they needed some more sexual harassment in this episode.

It's a shame Maria can't cosplay to save her life when it comes to disguising herself >:

Looking forward to the next episode~ I dunno how the series will end, but maybe there'll be a season three.

Hayate went into Kafuka-mode and saved the day, just as in the previous episode with Tama. Wew, Nagi actually knows how to do her stuff. Probably because she read plenty of 'cosplay-cafe' manga or something.

I didn't expect Nagi to be as good at customer service as she was. For someone that spends the majority of her life indoors, she sure knows her stuff. And knowing Nagi's bad cooking skills, I expected her to make the worst coffee ever. I was pleasantly surprised she can at least do THAT right.

And the conflict between her and Ayumu has fired up again. Guess Nagi is still the jealous, clingy girl we know and love.

I wonder why she suddenly offered to buy Hayate a b-day gift. Maybe she's trying some things of her own to get closer to him?

Them seeing through Maria's disguise was a dead giveaway. She looked good in that nurse outfit, though.

Loved it when Nagi went into geek mode upon seeing the mangaka.

They are following the manga quite nicely in S2, although S1 was really screwed for some reason, it deviated quite far from the manga (not that that was bad, I just didn't like that personally).

I understand someone makes a timeline for all this. I think the links should be in previous posts.

Yeah, the manga's great. The art is subtly different (the characters look 'cuter,' in my opinion). Definitely start reading it.

They translate just one volume behind in Korea :)

strangely enough... im seeing the end of this season towards the end of how much the Japanese have actually translated thus far in the manga. It's not often that you see an anime literally keep toe-to-toe with its manga counterpart... Makes me wonder how Hayate The Combat Butler in general will go from here...

That's only because JC did a reboot of the anime to fix the inconsistencies between the manga and the anime. If season 1 had been more true to the manga (mainly in the timeline) we'd be extremely close the the manga's newer chapters.

I think second season has slowly gotten better (of course, since at the beggining they where trying to perfect the adaptation so it captured the series' style) to the point it feels far more complete that season 1 could ever had hoped to be. And seriously, as much as I hate not having MORE Hayate for a while, series breaks are needed.

I've always found that most year-long anime suffer from series droughts of quality during large periods of time and the fact that when they catch up to the source material, they come up with filler which for most anime tend to be horrendous. Even 52-episode seasons suffer from periods of bad quality (check hayate season 1 and you will notice plenty of "bad" episodes which just had boring written all over them).

I seconded Ayumu's view of Hayate and Maria's relationship because in first season it looks like Hayate has a big crush on Maria plus like what Ayumu said Hayate tends to like Mature-like girls and Hinagiku and Nagi is out of the question since Hayate calls Hinagiku has a childish side and views Nagi as a kid.

Well, it is Maria's fault for making the situation awkward by putting the nurse outfit and walking into the shop.


But come on Hayate, though that explanation worked, you seriously have no tact. However, Maria should have somehow rejected that guy.

Nagi is awesome. Hamster is becoming an eyesore. She is just clinging onto Hayate just because and has no real romantic concerns for him, unlike Nagi Ojou-sama, who decided to work in the shop for Hayate. And Nagi did her job well too.

But Hayate should seriously stop getting distracted at work. Glad Nagi stomped his show and took him out of his delusions.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.
