Synopsis:

Hayate Ayasaki's life takes a sharp turn when sold into yakuza service to cover his family’s crippling debt. Desperate for a solution, he attempts a kidnapping – not for ransom, but as a means to alleviate his family’s financial burden. His plan is hilariously derailed by Nagi Sanzenin, a young woman who misinterprets his actions as a romantic confession.

Instead of imprisonment, Hayate finds himself unexpectedly employed as Nagi's personal butler. This position thrusts him into the opulent world of one of Japan’s wealthiest families, where he must navigate demanding duties and constant misfortune. The series follows Hayate as he struggles to manage his inherent bad luck while serving his unconventional employer, all the while attracting unwanted attention from those around him. The story blends comedic situations with elements of domestic life within a high-society setting.
