It's meh, in my opinion. I'd put it on the same general level of Nagasarete Airantou...that is, I read it, but mostly just to kill time. The characters are generally dull, the humor is meh, the fourth wall breaking tends to annoy me as being a slipshod excuse for characterization/plot. It's vaguely amusing, but you could easily do better.
Also, the new-age Ranma 1/2 is Ashita no Yoichi, not Hayate the Combat Butler. And I like Ranma 1/2 much more than either of them. :sweat2:
Huh, never read that one.
Ashita no Yoichi is about a swordsman who was raised by his father away from society, and then gets sent by his father, who can no longer defeat his son but doesn't want to admit it, to a dojo where an old friend of his teaches to 'train his spirit', as I recall. However, said individual is dead, and there are instead four daughters left behind, the oldest of which now runs the place, and happens to be a very violent tsundere who suspects the protagonist of being a pervert. He winds up being allowed to stay, but assorted misunderstanding happen, as well as assorted martial artists/assassins attacking for various reasons.
It's kind of like a cross between Ranma 1/2 and Love Hina, with a bunch of fanservice pumped into it. I'm not particularly fond of it, but there are a lot more analogues between it and Ranma 1/2 than there are with Hayate the Combat Butler.
