DrRusty Wrote:Hayate the Combat Butler - Been reading this on and off in between arena matches and raids on WoW. The only other manga I've read that was close to this friggin long is Mahou Sensei Negima. Very enjoyable manga so far. Gotten to about chapter 120ish. If you guys have a lot of time on your hands, I definitely suggest reading this.
The translators have been pretty obnoxious about Hayate here. I think it DOES in fact release on a weekly basis, but Hayate's really behind when it comes to online translation. There's a giant gap in the series right now between the early chapter 160s and some major story arc called the "End of the World" arc and a few chapters a little later and then another gap to the present arc that's been running for a good deal of time. The reason is something along the lines of translators wanting to stay up to date; and as a result, we have these huge gaps, and chapters from this gap are translated every now and then.
On the note of projects that are behind or on hold for ridiculously long amounts of time, I really would like to see the online translators to finally finish up Yakitate Japan. It ran barely over 240 chapters (I think 243, but I may be mistaken) and we're at 233. The other one I'd like to see get updated is Franken Fran.
Meanwhile...
