Hardworking Hayate has a plan to pay the yakuza--who are now the legal owners of his vital organs--back: he'll kidnap someone and ransom them for a mountain of money. But things get tricky when his would-be kidnappee--who as luck would have it is the daughter of a mind-bogglingly wealthy family--mistakes Hayate's actions for a confession of love, and hires him to be her personal servant. At least his employment future is secure, or so he thinks...

Are Hayate’s many other love interests confused by his increasingly fabulous choice of couture? Well, yes, but at this point, they’ve learned not to ask questions.

Then, before you know it, it's White Day, when guys in Japan repay girls for all the chocolate the girls gave on Valentine's Day. And Hayate thought the yakuza got cranky about unpaid debts…
