Hayate the Combat Butler, Vol. 31
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.
Idol singer Ruka and ex-heiress Nagi share the same improbable dream—to become hit manga artists. Nagi may not have art skills, a work ethic or the ability to write a coherent plot, but she’s an expert on two things: geekiness and money. Can she create a best seller through the sheer power of viral marketing? And how will Ruka fare in her radical alternative plan to actually draw a darn comic?
