As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. As Christmas approaches, the popular manga Hayate the Combat Butler (also translated as Hayate Guardian or Hilarious Butler Work Diary), written by Kenjiro Hata and serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday, first broke the news that it will be animated, and then the 9th volume of its manga was successfully released on December 16. Sure enough, good news always comes at the end of the year. The story tells about Ayazaki Sa, a freshman in a public high school. Because of his parents' lazy personalities, he has to work part-time every day to support his family. On Christmas Eve, Ayazaki Sa returned home and found that his parents left him an IOU. It turned out that his parents owed him a debt of 150 million yen and ran away. In order to pay off the debt, he even tried to sell Ayazaki Sa's organs (too unscrupulous). Being chased by the underworld and desperate, Ling Qi Sa attempted to kidnap a girl in a nearby park in exchange for ransom. He rushed over and said to the girl, "I... need you (as a hostage, of course, the last three words have not been spoken yet)". Due to a series of misunderstandings, Ling Qi Sa became the girl's savior. Who knew that this girl was the eldest daughter of the Sanqianyuan chaebol? In order to repay her life-saving grace, she hired Ling Qi Sa as a housekeeper and repaid his debt. But the good man Ling Qi Sa insisted on repaying the money, so Ling Qi Sa's housekeeper life began... The author of this work, Kenjiro Hata, once served as an assistant to Mr. Koji Kumeta. The manga has been released to Volume 9 and will be officially launched on December 16. Volume 9 includes the contents of "Hayate the Combat Butler" from episodes 86 to 96, and the cover is a snow-playing picture full of Christmas atmosphere drawn by Kenjiro Hata. Poor Ling Qi Sa is playing the role of a snowman, and he still has a long way to go on the road of being a butler... As a special gift for the successful release of the 9th volume, a super cute color postcard of Maria, the personal maid of Miss Sanzenin, who is COSing the rabbit-eared LOLI in "DiGiCharat" - RabienRose, is attached to the book.
