Synopsis
16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast and tough and skilled at things boys aren't normally skilled at, it has also left him in an awkward position, as his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a "bad guy" and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken as a confession of love by the girl he targets. When he helps save the (as it turns out) ultra-wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi's beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of a boy with such a poor look. And then there's Nagi's pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.
Personal Opinion
This Anime takes a while to watch but it has a great story. In the whole series, there are a total of 101 episodes, 1 OVA, and 1 Movie (as of 4/27/2014). The manga is also a great read and the story continues and hopefully the Anime series will continue to move forward since it is highly ranked by many people who has watched it. The Anime series is a tough one to watch all in one go and there are people who have, I have done it a few times and the most recent that i've done was between the dates 4/25/2014 and 4/28/2014 and this review was written during this challenge.
