Hayate the Combat Butler manga volume 36 features story and art by Kenjiro Hata.

Ruka has thrown down the gauntlet! By confessing her feelings for Hayate and going in for a lip-lock, the idol singer turned manga artist puts our hero in danger of actually getting a girlfriend. To stop this unacceptable slackening of romantic tension, Nagi makes an offer Ruka can't refuse. Now Hayate's fate rests on the outcome of a manga-drawing competition between two aspiring artists. Does Hayate have any say on which girl he ends up with? Ha ha, of course not.
