Kaichou wa Maid sama - Memorably Delightful!

The second anime I watched this summer, it's about the Seika High School President, Ayuzawa Misaki who is determined to revamp the school's filthy image to a cleaner and more pleasant image. The reason:

Seika High was actually an all boys school before it turned co-ed. As such, the female students' population is low and the boys are, well, dirty, foul-mouthed, perverted, boisterous, loud, actively involved with fights....all the nasty associations. Therefore, Misaki aimed to change the school to a better environment where the female students feel more comfortable and relaxed. She worked hard in her studies and martial arts and earn the teacher's trust to be appointed the school president. This involves constantly nagging the boys to dress properly, behaved in more polite manners, etc..earning the wrath of almost all the boys.


However, she does have a secret. She is working as a maid in a maid cafe as her part time job!!
Naturally, being the president and maid doesn't really seem to go together considering how much she hates that kind of guys. However, the pay is good and she comes from a poor family. The story doesn't waste much time. Right from episode 1, her secret was discovered by Usui Takumi who happened to pass the cafe while she was throwing trash.





Now Usui Takumi is the most popular guy in school who seemed nonchalant in almost everything. After the encounter, he listened to Misaki's explanation and began to seem to have a life. Which is stalking Misaki. From there onwards, it was a funny watch!! Usui finds himself attracted to Misaki's oddities and personality and seemed to 'stalk' her - she is always around and he can't help but observe her. He also frequents the cafe she works at.








the three idiots

We also have the idiot trio - Shiroyan, Ikkun and Kurotatsu who hates the president at first but then adored her after they met her in the maid attire. They provide a lot of the relief gags. I could go on and on for there are a lot more characters but I'll stop. For an anime with a lot of side characters, it proved to be a highly enjoyable and entertaining show!

I'm kinda happy as this is the first anime which I can catch up with. It's fairly recent and the manga is still running. I'm catching up on the manga itself and I planned to catch up with the manga of my favorite animes. Next will be Ouran and Fruit Basket!
