I was not really a  manga person  until  I  came  across  such  works  like  HayatexBlade  aka  Hayate Cross Blade because I  am an animation  maniac who likes moving  anime with live action.  So if  I  am  taking  the pain  to  recommend  this, there  should  be  something   suspicious …hmmm…(rubs chin thoughtfully)

If you didn’t already  know I   like the combination of   Action and Comedy  and more impressed if the protogonists are girls  because  well….not that I don’t  like  boys,    I just  find  it way cooler,  that’s  all.  Ahem. ¬.¬

So what about  HayatexBlade is awesome?

EVERYTHING!!! 

Don’t  mind  me  getting  excited here but  it’s true. For starters, we  don’t have some  cheap third-rate comedy but real authentic anime-style gags that leaving  you ROFLing!

Shizuru Hayashiya, the author of this manga (also the sensei for Please Teacher/Onegai Teacher!),  is pretty good at bringing out the story and characters.  Art  is really  neat  and   not scrumpy (Did I just make up a  word?)

Action and plot leaves you craving for more & what’s more?! One of  the  characters shares  her name with   me (*wink wink*) JUN!!

People who like shoujo-ai would fall in love with this and people who DON’T, still would! Because it is mostly undertoned yet so hilarious!

So here’s your genre: Action/Comedy/Friendship/Martial Arts/ School Life.

     

     Need an  overview?

(From MangaFox)

Kurogane Hayate finds herself in a dilemma. Her twin sister, Nagi, is recovering from an injury and needs someone to go to school in her place. Little did she know, the school was based on a “Swordswoman League,” where everyone participates in what are called ‘Duels for Stars’ with their sisters-in-arms/shinyuu, in order to gain prestige, money, and power.

Her first encounters with the students at this new school range from intimidating, such as with the Student Council President, Amachi Hitsugi and her shinyuu, Miyamoto Shizuku, to completely awestruck, such as the hot-headed but extremely experienced (and without a shinyuu) Mudou Ayana. At first Hayate thinks she can get away without participating in the Duels for Stars, but the first day she comes home, the orphanage she cares for deeply is a complete wreck…

My rating: 9/10!!!
