AstroNerdBoy ハヤテのごとく！/Hayate no Gotoku Manga
Hayate the Combat Butler Chapter 536 Review
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:
Nagi throws a fit because she claims to need chocolate to draw her manga. Since she won’t shut up about it, Hayate produces a Choco Monaka Jumbo bar. She throws the wafer snack back at him, but then eats it anyway because it tastes good. However, she still wants chocolate, and not just any chocolate. She wants the good chocolate.
Hayate reports Nagi’s demands to find her the ultimate chocolate, so Maria agrees to go along. Hayate decides to enact his plan to seduce and betray Maria for Nagi’s sake, though he can’t imagine Maria falling for him.
The two head into town where Maria wants to stop at a cheap candy (dagashi) shop. Maria’s actions in the store are making Hayate’s heart pound in a bad way. He decides to thrill her by putting on a candy jewel ring, but she doesn’t succumb as he thought. Maria throws Hayate off his game again by taking a lick on his candy ring, causing his heart to pound again.
Thoughts/Review:
Heh! Choco Monaka Jumbo is a real thing. Looks rather tasty.
We haven’t seen Nagi act like a brat recently. As such, it amused me to see her demand chocolate. Naturally, I laughed when she rejected the Choco Monaka Jumbo bar, then ate it anyway.
It is laughable seeing Hayate trying to put his Maria plan in action. We’ve seen him on a fake date with Maria before. She trumped him then and she’ll do so again here.
I’m surprised candy jewel rings are a thing in Japan. I remember them from my youth, though they are known as Ring Pops. They did not interest me then for a number of reasons. Now that I think about it, I’m surprised they are still a thing in the U.S.
In the end, Hayate the Combat Butler chapter 536 is an amusing chapter with a few laughs. It also shows the mountain named Maria that Hayate has to conquer for his plan to succeed.

I have a theory hayate is being hypnotize or something by yozora to lead them to the key. that why he’s willing to hurt girls for that.
I think he would abandoned the seduce and break up plan for a his own fake death plan or something.
I’m not sure about that, but we’ll see.
Wait — that is a ice-cream bar?? I thought it was a thinner candy bar like Nestle’s — its encased in a wafer like outside – but it was handled as if it was a candy bar? I guess it would have wasted a frame to show it coming out of the freezer — but I can see a hard thing like that being thrown and then get hit in the head!!! I don’t think it was a ‘soft serve’ type soft ice cream either but more like a very hard rock – ouch!
First time I’ve seen these – looks interesting – maybe the local japanese stores may have them in the freezer.
Godiva – mmm – its ok – But there is that something in chocolate that girls need that does keep us calm-er that going nuts at times. Which makes me crave for fudge too or a can of See’s Almond Royals. So I can see that happening.
Makes me wonder if there is enough chocolate in that ice cream bar. It didn’t look like much and more vanilla ice cream.
That’s what I was thinking too, but when I went back to the website, see reference to ice cream.
Found the Choco Monaka Jumbo locally!!!
Actually only the vanilla one seems available (really wanted the chocolate one…).
Now I gotta go try it. It will be perfect with the hot weather this time of year. So far I’ve seen in two stores within the last week!
The (Hawaii) local 7-11 actually has it, along with other interesting snacks from Japan, and in Japanese, and the other is in the Nijiya Market. Still have to check the Marukai Store too. hmm maybe the Shirokiya Japan Village may have it too…
I already went a bit wild and had to try the ‘custard’ Ritz cream sandwich Crackers cookies and ‘green tea’ Oreos for the Japanese market. Even Nestle’s crunch was in bite size pieces, not seen in other US stores. I was there looking for my favorite -dorayaki – the black bean paste in between two small pancakes – and ended up buying a whole bunch of other snacks.
Interesting that they have ‘Pepsi’ in aluminum cans, shaped like bottles. Others are smaller cylinders – looks like the size that fits the japanese vending machines, and not the typical 12 oz / 355 ml cans and in japanese, but more expensive.
Awesome. ^_^ I wish there was a place near me that sold them.
I’m Sorry ANB!!! I just read your other sections I didn’t know!
I’m sorry for mentioning snacks!
I hope you are doing better.
Ha!ha! No problem. It is OK to mention snacks. 😀
I can understand your IT issues. I work on the network side, and have seen the cyber-security side burst into a major section. Gone are the days of ‘open’ platforms, and now its all firewalls and filters and some massive DOS attacks. I am beginning to hate passwords that are getting longer and longer.
We are now watching two potential hurricanes approaching from the East, that is closely following the arrival of the Pres. It can mean alot of rain, wind, and electrical outages…. and massive traffic jams.
Yeah, passwords get crazy. It is hard for me to keep track of all mine. ^_^;;;;
I’m glad I don’t have to deal with hurricanes any more. Traffic jams as well. 😛
