Misaki and Usui not only make a sexy couple, but a badass couple as well. And what I mean by fan service isn’t ass and tits, but Usui and Misaki playing the pocky game and other “that shouldn’t be sexy, but it is” moments.

I’m a fan girl, what’d you expect? Anyway, speaking of fan, there’s a good amount of fan service in Maid-sama. I don’t really remember cringing, but I definitely remember squealing and fanning myself. The interactions between Misaki and Usui are surprisingly not cheesy. (In replacement of Enjoyment…) Romance: 9 And the entrance of THE PERFECTION OF USUI doesn’t turn her into a fumbling, bumbling, constantly-blushing idiot! In practically every cliché shoujo, the heroine automatically becomes someone entirely different in the presence of the hot guy, but Misaki keeps her composure and only loses it when Usui does the smolder, and who wouldn’t?īut maybe this answers my question as to why I love Usui’s character-probably because he has Misaki as his partner and they bring out the best in each other.Īs for the other characters in this manga, a few of them are for comic relief (idiot trio pops to mind), but I’m never bored when they appear so I appreciate their presence. Misaki gradually changes for the better, but she still maintains her tough and hardworking personality. But I gave it a chance because at least she wasn’t a typical stupid shoujo heroine. I’ve read reviews where people are hating on Misaki for being a man-hater and honestly, her attitude sort of turned me off from reading as well. What I love about her is that her personality never really changes, but she does indeed get character development. But that’s what makes this manga so durable. Ultimately, Misaki is the reason why I love this manga and she’s probably the only thing that’s not cliché in this whole story (besides her acting like a tsudere occasionally in front of Usui). …(In the process of picking up my brain pieces and putting them back together)Īlright, let’s move onto the main character: Misaki. I’ve read about a thousand characters like Usui, so why? Why is he the epitome of perfection out of all the other guys? I HATE Gary Stus, but I LOVE Usui! The man could be picking his nose and scratching his balls and I’d still swoon for him! SOMEONE ANSWER ME! WHY?! No matter how Gary Stu he is, no matter how copy and paste he might be, no matter how real guys might scoff at him, Usui Takumi is perfection in the form of a manga character. ALL THE TIME.Īlright, now it’s appropriate to say it: Usui is my guilty pleasure. The backgrounds are drawn nicely too and some panels where Usui is giving you a smoldering look gets you squealing most of the time. The characters are attractive and are distinguishable from one another. I happen to like Hiro Fujiwara’s style of drawing. There are plenty of cliché situations in this manga but Maid Sama approaches these clichés really well and in ways that kept me interested.

She has to keep it a secret, and of course, with secrets, there’s blackmail.

A “tough” girl actually works at a girly place and *gasp* of course she just HAS to be discovered by the hottest guy at school. how’s that for a review opening? Too soon?Īs many other reviews have already mentioned, the premise of this manga is cliché. Kaichou wa Maid-sama is my guilty pleasure-specifically, Usui.
