There is an admirable side story with Misaki’s friend Sakura, a great character until the last few episodes. A rival to Usui turns up quite late in the game, a childhood friend who is in love with Misaki, but he’s never a credible threat to Usui and he’s just highly irritating most of the time. The supporting characters don’t help matters much, either. Worse than that, Usui basically becomes a stalker (he even admits that proudly), and that often crosses the line into uncomfortable territory. It doesn’t take many episodes before it’s obvious that Misaki is in love with Usui, and from that point onwards the writers are just employing delaying tactics, with Misaki frustratingly denying her own feelings. Getting there was hugely frustrating though.
#Sakura maid game review series#
So many anime series have this kind of will-they-won’t-they thing going on and then leave us hanging at the end, but this one has an ending I really enjoyed. Across the 26 episodes (there is also an OVA, which is included on the Blu-ray set), Usui gradually breaks down the barriers Misaki puts up, and she slowly but surely falls in love with him. I have to give this series a lot of credit for actually having a conclusion. Popular kid in school Takumi Usui finds out her secret, and falls in love with her, having spent most of his time previously rejecting the advances of his many female admirers. She has a big secret: in her spare time she works in a maid cafe, acting out a subservient role to generally male customers, which by necessity could not be more different to the persona she puts across at school. She deals with this by bossing the boys around and trying to get them to improve their behaviour, so she is a formidable character who is generally feared by boys. The central character is Misaki Ayuzawa, who is in a small minority of female students in a largely male school. This is a series that has major issues in terms of male/female dynamics. “I think he’s a controlling, possessive jerk.” The conversation went something like this: Approximately 140mm in height.When we were a few episodes into Maid Sama! my wife asked me a question. Other Materials: Cotton, Polyester, Magnets, Iron. Painted ABS&PVC non-scale figure with stand included. Interchangeable Hand Parts (Closed Hands / Peace Hands / Praying Hands) *Please note that some Nendoroids may not be compatible depending on their individual specifications. The head part of the Nendoroid can easily be switched with previously released Nendoroids allowing you to dress-up your favorite characters in an all new outfit!
The next original character to join the Nendoroid Doll series is Catgirl Maid: Sakura, an energetic and clumsy younger sister type character! Her cat ears are removable, and her apron can be removed as well to show off the adorable Japanese-style clothing underneath. The Nendoroid Doll series of palm-sized action figures feature the same heads as standard Nendoroids, but alternate doll-like bodies that are highly articulated and can easily be dressed-up into different outfits! A new original character, "Catgirl Maid: Sakura", joins the Nendoroid Doll series!
