ハヤテのごとく! [Hayate no Gotoku! / Hayate the Combat Butler] #47

Against a sweeping cosmic backdrop of stars and galaxies, this forty-seventh volume of Kenjiro Hata's beloved romantic comedy brings together three of the series' central characters — a wide-eyed blue-haired boy in a butler's uniform carrying a cheerful blonde girl in a pink floral kimono, while a determined brown-haired girl looks on from the foreground. The cover's vivid contrast of the characters' warm expressions against the vast, indigo universe gives it real visual energy, capturing the mix of comedy, heart, and adventure that has made Hayate the Combat Butler such an enduring shōnen favorite. Fans following this long-running Shogakukan series will find volume 47 a worthy continuation of one of manga's most charming ensemble casts.
