Hayate the Combat Butler

Life was already a losing battle for Hayate Ayasaki, a perpetually unlucky teenager whose parents' colossal debts have left him with nothing but a mountain of misfortune. When a desperate attempt to escape his financial woes leads to an accidental kidnapping — and a dramatic rescue — he finds himself unexpectedly employed as the personal butler to the incredibly wealthy, and incredibly sheltered, heiress Nagi Sanzenin. Now, Hayate's days are a whirlwind of household duties, fending off bizarre threats, and navigating the eccentricities of the Sanzenin estate, all while trying to keep his past a secret. Prepare for a riotous blend of slapstick comedy, over-the-top action, and meta-humor that constantly breaks the fourth wall, as this combat butler attempts to serve his way out of debt and into a somewhat normal life.
