About the series
A long-running French manga-style series from Dargaud, Hayate - The Combat Butler ran for 52 issues from 2010 to 2020, adapting the beloved Japanese comedy into a European comic format. The series follows the misadventures of a perpetually unlucky but resourceful young butler serving a wealthy, eccentric young mistress, blending slapstick humor with over-the-top action and romantic entanglements. Best known for its translation and adaptation by a dedicated team, this edition brought the chaotic, fourth-wall-breaking charm of the original manga to a new readership. Its substantial run stands as a testament to the global appeal of the franchise's unique blend of comedy and shonen tropes.
