The collected Oricon Top 50 figures for manga sales through the first half of 2009 (shown below) give a... | | |
| 3:55pm | Renovations, Disconnections, and Self-Exile – The Withdrawal |  | | | No, it’s not an Ah! My Goddess or Hayate no Gotoku episode or chapter title, so leave me alone in my oh-so-pitiful state or else I’ll wham you on your chin I was almost out for a week, and it felt like a month.

| 8:04pm | Selling all of my English manga – Are you interested? (Follow-up) | | | | Ok so I added some on Ebay. I’m not looking to rip anyone off. If you want to maybe get it lower or whatever I’m willing to talk over it. I have Saikano (complete set), Negima (1-18), and A.I Love You (complete set) up. This is my first time selling on ebay so I probably screwed some stuff... | | |

| 4:58pm | Japan’s Top 10 Waifus (and Husbandos) |  | | | Recently, ANN of all places posted this interesting article of a survey conducted in Japan on which anime characters the respondents wished to marry.

| 6:29am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 10 | | | | Of course, they’re lying. The truth is that they are all in Hina’s Harem. Oh so modest. The only girl who can’t fit into Hina’s Harem – a very un-anee Katsura-anee. It’s still tough having to eat all that Valentine’s chocolate and not put on weight. Azuma... | | |

| 8:43am | Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season - 07 | | | | So far this would have to be one of the best episodes of the series, so much Hinagiku x Hayate x Ayumu goodness. There’s always some kind of chemistry between the three of them, and though this is supposed to be a comedy type series, it somewhat fits right in. One of the great things about this... | | |

| 11:27am | OPs and EDs I wish were out now | | | | Hajimari no asa ni hikaare. This is by far a very very big favorite for me, particularly because it is always used to wrap up some really awesome finishing scene or cliffhanger, and also because I’ve gotten addicted to it, I just open youtube for the sake of listening to this song. Or maybe... | | |
| 2:41am | Hayate no Gotoku!! - 06 + 07 - Stick with Hina! | | | | The final thing I want to talk about in this arc is that Hayate is too nice. I think the reason for his unluckiness isn't because of his birth but that he is too nice and is too easy to control and take advantage of. He has the common sense to survive the world but he doesn't have the personality to... | | |
