If you’ve read Chapters 218 and 219 in the manga version of Hayate,then I guess that you may know of the results of the 2nd Popularity Contest they held. Luckily, its been adapted into the 14th episode in the Second Season. I would’ve merge this post with my episode 14 summary, but I guess it would’ve been too tl;dr. So what better way than to split the two apart!
So here are the results!






Since the producers didn’t want the newcomers to know about A-tans identity yet until the End of the World Story Arc (which is coming up soon) they only showed her back and named her with an alias, instead of overlooking it. With all the characters in the contest hall complaining about it. With Hayate telling the viewers if they want to know who she is, then they should “Read Shonen Sunday or the Manga”… -or just google it in my opinion…-

Compared to the last contest where he finished in 3rd with 1543 votes…
And now the top 3 winners!
In 3rd place…

I have no idea why she is unhappy with the results since she finished 4th place with 1013 votes in last years contest… WE LOVE YOU NAGI!!
And in 2nd place…

Same place as last contest’s results, but with even more votes in the second than the first one (1586 votes)!
And in 1st place… I guess we all know who it is…

Compared to the first contest with 3728 votes, this is a new record.
And it looks like Nagi isn’t handling the truth very well…


WE STILL LOVE YOU NAGI!! <:
And guess how all of this turns out?

But J.C. Staff cunningly made this as a plot device since the next few scenes will reflect upon this so-called “dream”…

While in the manga, its meant to be…

Since they decided to skip a heck-load of chapters (including the Santa Conan chapter, which is needed for this episode), they decided to make use of the Popularity contest and changed the nightmare that the evil-octopus-monster holds.
We now await for the third Popularity Contest which will be in a years time. If the manga holds on for that long that is…
This can’t be cr font is it? I just need a confirmation on this
Nah its SS & Eclipse Subs, but without their original font.
It does feel weird but yeah, I was expecting that answer…
