Hayate the Combat Butler, Vol. 23 (23)

Poor Hayate Ayasaki is responsible for repaying his parents€ 150 million yen debt. One Christmas, he meets a girl named Nagi, and after a series of misunderstandings, he somehow ends up working as her butler. Nagi covers for Hayate€s debt, but has Hayate dug himself deeper into a different kind of hole? A hilarious tale of butlers, love and battles (?!).

Out of his ever-expanding harem of love interests, Hayate has finally confessed his feelings for one special girl. But if you think it€s time to cue up the happy ending, you haven€t read the previous 22 volumes. Instead, our hero faces heartbreak, emotional turmoil, and a battle with a skeleton hand. This is why most protagonists of romantic-comedy manga keep their feelings to themselves.

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen plus audiences.
