just_m3h's manga / #Maid(3)

1: Kawasaki, run down from long hours at his job, books a mail order maid, only to have a guy (Nao) show up in a maid outfit because he didn't properly check his order! I didn't think either one of them was that interesting, nor did the plot inspire particularly strong emotions. Only good thing was that Nao had paid back his debt and afford to quit. 4 4: Atsushi hires a college kid (Eita) 14 years younger than him to work at his restaurant and the kid ends up confessing. Atsushi keeps trying to push him away, for the sake of his future, but Eita is more persistent than that! Again, boring and uninspiring. Characters weren't terrible or anything, just not engaging. Plot was okay. 4.2

Ch 8. Premise is hella weird but characters are cute. 4.55

Yuito meets Kazuomi, a rich young master, in high-school and becomes fast-friends with him. But when his family goes into debt due to a failed business, Yuito finds his relationship with Kazuomi changing in a completely unexpected way. It's clear that Kazuomi cares for him deeply. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back home and changed his plans like that. But at the same time, the fact that he's using Yuito's debt to keep him close, and his general high handedness makes it hard to like him. I might even go as far as to say it makes him a bit creepy. Perhaps it's so accentuated because Yuito is just that much more adorable and naive. Edit: Ah. So not quite as naive as previously perceived. Kazuomi's not the only one who has ulterior motives. 4.7 Ch 4
