This series is one that I'm looking forward to, because I really enjoy the manga, it's silly and fun, so hope it goes well becoming into an anime series.
From ANN :16-year-old Hayate is really down on his luck. Because his unemployed parents are good-for-nothings who waste what money they have on gambling, Hayate had to start working at a young age to help out his family. Although such experience has made him inhumanly fast and tough and skilled at things boys aren`t normally skilled it, it has also left him in an awkward position, as his parents have racked up such a huge gambling debt that they have sold Hayate to the yakuza for the value of his organs. In a desperate attempt to avoid that fate, Hayate decides to become a “bad guy” and kidnap someone to be held for ransom, but his efforts to do so are mistaken as a confession of love by the girl he targets. When he helps save the (as it turns out) ultra-wealthy 13-year-old Nagi from real kidnappers, she takes him in and gives him a job as her new personal butler (and love interest) until he can pay off his debt. But Hayate is more attracted to Nagi`s beautiful teenage maid Maria, and head butler Klaus is initially disapproving of the boy with such a poor look. And then there`s Nagi`s pet Tama, who is also a force to be reckoned with.According to the Shonen Sunday News Page, Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku) will be made into a TV anime series. A future issue of Shonen Sunday will include an announcement about when the show will be aired and which network will carry it.
Shougakukan will be screening an original Hayate animated short at their upcoming "Next Generation World Hobby Fair." The Fair will take place in a number of cities, including Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
