His dreams more than come true when three sexy girls—along with their pet alligator, Pochi—lay claim to the jobs.

Yes, there's a great deal of fan service in this title. But it's not as though it's pretending to be something that it isn't. It's quite honest and upfront about its intentions, to the point where it almost becomes a parody of fan service titles.

Nakabayashi Yoshitaka inherited his family's vast fortune at the tender age of 14 after the death of his parents. He posts a notice by the front gate advertising the need for a live-in maid. Two sisters, Izumi and Mitsuki show up, along with their pet alligator, Pochi. Since they are young and hot, he hires them both, and indulges his uniform fetish by supplying them with some of the skimpiest maid outfits imaginable in a 16+ rated title. Needless to say, peeping happens, Yoshitaka gets regularly clobbered by both female and alligator alike, the word "pervert" gets used a great deal, while the term "plausible" doesn't exist. It's decent naughty fluff.

While the writing is fairly spirited, the artwork is less so. Asu Tsubaki draws a serviceable sexy girl, her action scenes can be confusing, with speed lines and screentones taking the place of drawing ability.

In all, it's not bad for what it is. There's a sense of gleeful fun that makes me inclined to be forgiving of its missteps. I don't think I'd go so far as to recommend it to just anyone, but if you're in the mood for something fun and slightly pervy, you might be interested in checking this out.

It is what it is. Cute art and very detailed outfits. Another pervy manga that has some laughs but as I aged it got more corny and ill fit for today's society.

3.5 stars and I was feeling generous. This is a classic harem manga with a primary goal of humor. It works reasonably well.

I have all 5 volumes.

It’s alright I only read the first two books so couldn’t really get into it

[Francine · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a pretty generic ecchi manga, but I just... can't read these anymore at my age. There are too many jokes implying/making light of sexual harassment, paedophilia, parent-child incest, even bestiality; not to mention the generic sexism and homophobia often present in these types of manga. I'm too old to be reading about 14-year-old girls wearing skimpy maid costumes against their will(!). All I want to see is freely and enthousiastically given consent.

The art is nice, though.

I watched the anime and loved it it was one of the best i watched. I was dissapointed at how the anime ended, then i thought "Hey, i wonder if its a manga?" well turns out it was and its just maybe even more funny then the anime. Potchi looks like a reg. alligator but still is funny and LOVES Izumi!They added other things in the manga that was not in the anime which makes it extremly funny!

This story is about a 14-year-old pervert, who lives by himself in a mansion, because his parents were killed in an accident. He inherited their money, but needs someone to take care of him. So, he hires three maids, Izumi, Mitsuki, and Anna.

Very crazy manga full of otaku references with a bit weak art and the typical moe story. Nothing overly interesting.
