Since the tender age of nine, Hayate Ayasaki has busted his behind at various part-time jobs to support his degenerate gambler parents. And how do they repay their son's selfless generosity? By selling his organs to the yakuza to cover their debts! But fate throws Hayate a bone...sort of. 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.

NOT a dream! NOT an imaginary story! Hayate and Hinagiku are on a date! Trouble is, each one thinks the other one hates them. But when Hayate busts out his surprisingly l33t dating skills, not even a trip to the world's worst movie theater can ruin the couple's night out. Later that night, Hayate's sleep is interrupted by girl after girl climbing into his bed. Could our perpetually unfortunate butler's luck be changing, at least where the ladies are concerned? Alas, probably not...
