I wonder if hoshitori did help with this chapter

No. The Hoshitori people are busy with real life, so they have to bow out of HxB for a while, unfortunately.

Note of reference, YP editors: Anything in quotation marks ("") will generally have the comma/period BEFORE the second quotation mark. So "I have a cat" would be "I have a cat." rather than "I have a cat". There are a few exceptions to this rule (such as a quote within a quote) but in HxB's case, as far as I can tell, there aren't any. Other than this little peeve and the occasional grammar conflict, Yuri Project seems to be doing fine with the translations and such.

Onto the chapter! More Jun/Yuho. Yes.

Also, I love that chekhov's boomerang moment when Kei (the roommate who thinks Ayana has it in for her) appears to think that, once again, Ayana is out for her blood specifically. And the fact that Ensuu inadvertently trained Makoto definitely fits here--the hairstyle and crazy look in their eyes matches, if not Makoto's being a bit softer.

Oh man I love it, I think that is time to re-read everything from the start! this manga has everything I like (except for the lack of serious yuri), I feel sorry for Hayate, her life is at risk and there's no way she will came out of this situation w/o punishment... But I kinda like that too, I love how Ayane's natural expression is to be angry.

Kinda out of topic but I saw the movie of Gintama few days ago and is amusing how much I like that kind of humor that you can find in HxB a lot too. Boke x tsukkomi x Yuri x Blade!

Thanks for translating!!!

dammit, I wish seven seas would hurry up and release a vol. 3 omnibus here in the US. :-\
"I think" there are enuf chapters out that a vol. 3 could be successfully released. anyone
know if this is true or not?

Note of reference, YP editors: Anything in quotation marks ("") will generally have the comma/period BEFORE the second quotation mark.

No. That's incorrect, depending on who you ask. You may want to look up "American style" and "British style" concerning punctuation. And regardless of the name, the latter is also used in the US, especially in linguistics. Drop this pet peeve, this is about as pointless and obnoxious as ?! vs !? for an interrobang, how words are capitalized in a stutter, whether there are spaces in an ellipsis or not and a myriad of other little poorly defined and regionally different idiosyncrasies in the English language.

And thanks, I do know what quotation marks look like. Also, if you want to get in touch with us, there are about half a dozen better ways of doing that than a third-party forum.

That's not going to happen. They dropped the series when it changed publishers in Japan. Sales weren't all that great, either.

YES! Macross... I was thinking "Where did I read a phrase like that?"

Hayashiya keeps impresing me with her clean style of drawing and above all the humor... My favorite white shirt again http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/hayate_x_blade_ch64#14 I look forward for this battle.

thanks for translating! I will never be able to put in words all of my gratitude!

Just would like to share this YT list of awesome and funny HxB parodies here for those are interested. Check out the video of their animated commercial 8 years ago, parodies, mini drama, and Jun x Yuho videos <3

I just don't understand how this manga didn't become an anime yet. Hayashiya-sensei's works are sooo awesome!

That last chapter reminded me why this manga is so awesome in so many way !

-Epic duel incoming between Yukari and that sneaky girl... just to be cut off stupidly by a pitfall. It's so anticlimatic in a funny way I almost died laughing.

-Jun. Best character ever ! <3

-And the Kaicho who just leisury enjoy the chaos she created, only so she can get a good laugh out of it.

Damn, I so want this to get animated !

I just don't understand how this manga didn't become an anime yet. Hayashiya-sensei's works are sooo awesome!

There's still hope! somewhere... I dont know...
But this manga is marvelous, all the details.... Like, the quality never goes down and for a momment I thought "too many characters" but the history went ahead mixing them all nicely, at this point, I can't say "X is my favorite character" I love all the idiots here D: --- But nah, Is Shid xD

when the yuri going to start....when..

remember If it contain mild yuri it used tagged shoujo ai, hah never see shoujo ai tag now.

Yay for new chapter ! This one still my favorite manga out there. And that ending ! Can't wait for the next and see what the "black knight of tenshi" will do next. _

Nauticaa of the Valley of the Wind was one of my favorite movies. Awesome.

Full of action this time, always keeping the high level of quality thank you yuri project and black knight <3

crap, I have completely lost track of what's going on. :-\

"DAYUM!"

Gotta love the Prez. Best Kaichou ever. Also, Masochist-Fencer-Senpai is properly cool.

Absolutelly wonderful, I never expected a new chapter so quick! And finally e everyone is together... We reached the climax!! And really seeing all these duels flowing is amazing. Thanks forma translation!!!

"daddy?"

LMAO. I honestly thought Ayana was going to ask "who's your daddy?"

I need to go back and reread the earlier chapters...I totally forgot what has been going on.

"daddy?"

LMAO. I honestly thought Ayana was going to ask "who's your daddy?"

That just made me burst-out laughing, as well. xD Can't wait for the next chapter. :D

Another great chapter ! Though I wish we could see more of the "Black knight of Tenchi"'s antics. XD Next chapter sounds promising as well, Kurogane is bound to some serious trashing there.

Man I love Nancy <3

Realization dawns on me. Hanji and Wakii looks the same.

goes to writing that ff

Absolutelly powerful, this chapter was indeed.
Ayane x Hayate... Such battle full of feelings, this is how it should be... It's the only way.
Thanks a lot, I've waited weeks, months and even a year for releases of this manga... seeing it again at this phase drives me to tears.
