Hayate
the Combat Butler anime synopsis
/
summary:
Hayate Ayasaki is a 16-year-old high
school student who works all kinds of part-time jobs because his
parents are unemployed and have gambled away their
savings. Hayate is not a very lucky person, but working all
the
time has made him incredibly tough. On Christmas Eve, Hayate
comes home to find a note from his parents telling him to take care of
their million dollar debt that they carelessly racked up.
Soon, Hayate is on the run from yakuza debt collectors.
Hayate wanders into a park and meets a young girl who
appears to be from a wealthy family. He decides that the only
way to pay off the huge debt is to kidnap the girl and demand a
ransom. However, the girl misinterprets his words as a
confession of love and willingly goes along with it. Hayate
soon discovers he isn’t cut out to be a bad guy, but before
he can return the girl another group of people kidnaps her.
It turns out she is Nagi Sanzenin, the sheltered heiress to
a vast fortune and the target of many people seeking easy
money. Hayate takes the initiative to rescue Nagi and proves
his toughness by chasing down their car on a bike. Nagi shows
her gratitude by allowing Hayate to become her new butler and
bodyguard. All the while, she still believes Hayate will
fulfill his confession of love.
