ハヤテのごとく!/Hayate no Gotoku Manga
Hayate the Combat Butler Chapter 476 Review
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:
Katsura-sensei inquires of Miki, Izumi, and Risa as to the status of their Video Koshien contest. They show her their first cat video, which is of Izumi’s cat being cute, but the video is tedious. However, in the background, there are all kinds of amazing things going on, such as a cargo truck crashing, whereupon the driver mugs an old woman. Yukiji is stunned by this, more so when Izumi says that she didn’t even notice what was going on in the background of her movie.
The girls show their second video, which Yukiji finds equally tedious until Hina shows up in the video, playing with the cat. Yukiji is not amused by this and can’t believe this video got the most votes in the history of the competition.
They are looking for material for their third and final video and the ¥10 million prize. Miki agrees to give Yukiji the prize, but she suggests that they do a prank video. The target Hayate, where Risa says they’ll get Izumi to say she loves him and film his reaction. So, they shove her into the fray, where she confesses her love. Hayte’s reaction is so horrific and unexpected, Izumi quickly adds that this is what she heard some other girl say. Hayate acknowledges he’s aware of that.
Thoughts/Review:
Heh!heh!heh! So, the Student Council trio plus Yukiji come in for another comedy chapter. I’d pretty much forgotten about the video competition they were in, but as usual, Hata-sensei is on top of things, ready to use them in a moments notice.
That first video of the girls had me cracking up, simply because of the absurdity that someone recording a cat video wouldn’t notice a spectacular wreck from a delivery truck, followed by the driver mugging an old woman. Very funny stuff.
For the second video, Hata-sensei put in a bit more effort to try to make Hina look extra cute.
Finally, Hayate’s very unexpected face was just hilarious when Izumi confessed. Poor Izumi — she likes Hayate, but that face of his causing her to shift her confession was something else. *lol*
One can never truly predict where Hata-sensei will go. However, with ¥10 million on the line and Miki having agreed to let Yukiji have the money, it is an easy bet to predict that they won’t win the prize.
Well, we’ve got a couple of weeks to go until the next chapter. Hata-sensei may get tease plot or he may not. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
I lol-ed at Izumi’s 0_0 expression once she saw Hayate’s reaction. Speaking of Izumi, I think the new character design suits her pretty well.
Risa suffers. Overall, I still like the older character designs.
