Now the butler of a wealthy young lady, Hayate can finally pay back his debts, and it’ll only take him 40 years to do it. Two manga artists enter. One manga artist leaves…with Hayate! When Ruka raises the stakes of the manga-drawing duel, Nagi realizes she has to get serious and hone her art skills. Maybe training in the mountains, shonen manga-style, will help.
