| A fan of the manga and anime series, Hayate no Gotoku, bought 398 copies of the magazine Shounen Sunday. The issue came with a free card from the series' trading card game of the character Sakuya. The number 398 is apparently a play on the character's name, the reason why the fan bought that amount of copies. To complete his task, he visted 82 different 7-11 convience stores. In each store, he would leave a few copies for others to be able to purchase a copy of the magazine. Source: Comi Press. |
| Haha, oh wow. |
| Haha... that kind of makes me angry. I just want that person to give me their money and I'll use it for better purposes. Of course, I guess I'm just not that rabid of a fan. :D |
     |
| Haha, that's a fan. xD |

| Wow. That's too much. What a fan. |
     |
| at least he left a few for others. If it was a Hina card, i would've bought 17 copies myself ;P |
 |
| OMG I'M NOT THE ONLY SAKUYA FAN. But that guy definitely has me beat. |
| Well I think someone might have a fetish for Sakuya. |
 |
| I'm kinda wondering what exactly he's going to do now that he has 398 copies. :/ |
 |
| well as far as wasting money goes...he wouldnt spend that much if it didnt mean that much to him. i am sure there are things that people spend money on where as others would kill you for buying them. if he[truly] realizes that it was a mistake, he wont do it again. |
| I bow to this man, he is a true fan. And he shows class by leaving copies in the stores for others. GG Mr. Hayate fan. 82 different 7-11's .. damn. |

| Some fan, at least he left copies for other people. xD |

innominate said: Anyway, what a waste of money and time... What isn't a waste of money? I suppose donating 100% of your income to starving children in africa, but seriously, if your are financially stable enough to afford doing so what better way to spend your money than on something you like? Money is meant to be spent... |

 |
| Hmmm, this guy walked around with $1000 cash. Not to mention he had to carry around all the magazines. It's a wonder he didn't get mugged. |

   |
| I try to picture how he was able to transport all those copies, unless he drove a car. |
| 耳を塞いでも両手をすり抜ける真実に惑うよ。 |
Well it's a really cute card at least... |
|
| WOW that guy sounds awsome |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| I like how he was considerate enough to leave a few copies lol. |
    |
| Crazy guy. It would make more sense if each issue came with a different random limited edition card or something, but 398 of the same exact thing? lol... More power to him though. |

| LOL, look at the Sakuya book collection :P Even Konata from lucky star only had 3-4 copies max :P  |
| Damn, props to that guy. Hopefully he lives on the bottom floor xD |

| Better to give to the homeless or to some poor kids .......... seriously the possibilities are endless but instead to chose that ?? Ofc who am i to judge how someone must spend his money but seriously ........ |
 |
| Considering how worldwide anime is, he could ebay half the cards and turn a profit. This is really no different than buying game systems as they are released and selling them online. Unless you can import this worldwide with the collector card and all, this is a pretty smart move. Even the news is doing extra advertising for him for those that didn't know this was released but would still have wanted even one copy. |
 |
| Sakuya is that hot... |

| Haha agreed Konfig. Don't expect others to be charitable if you can't give some time to help out yourself o: |
| Isn't that going a little too far? XD |
