It's ending. No... it's already ended. Chapter 85 was really the end.

Aaaargghh.... I wish writer-san didn't stopped the story at graduation day and then jumped 10 years ahead. I want to see Usui make up with the Walker family. I want to see Misaki conquering campus life. I want to see Suzuna dan Hinata. I wanna see Aoi and Tora and Gerald and THE Ninja. I wanna see Misa chan with her Maid sama uniform, while Usui teasing on her. \(*_*')V

Oh well, it ended properly at least. Nice to see everybody and how they're doing over a decade.



It was an amazing journey (about 5 - 6 years, as far as I remembered). I had a share of good laugh, shed some tears, my heart skipped some beat too. It was very interesting to see how Misaki had developed into a more open and loveable and not that bitter annoying hipocratic person. It was very heart warming to see Usui grown up into more responsible man with dreams and more volition to aim for bigger hopes. So, goodbye Misaki, goodbye Usui. Hope for the best for both of you. Bubbyeeee..... *keep waving hands till the chopter out of sight*






(it's reeaaaaallyy the end, right?? positively no other chapter after this? why? coz I miss them already, that's why. common, show me Africa. let me peek... no?! Not even a little bit? pleaasee.... no!?! seriously, I feel a little sick - slight headache, please let me see THE Doctor. NO!!! *throw away manga*) BAKA USUI!! #eh

Finishing this felt a lot like watching Toy Story 3. Just as with Andy, I grew up with Misaki and Usui and though this is my second time reading the manga, it's my first time finishing it.

I am so totally overwhelmed and just about bursting with tears. It feels slightly wrong to say this but for me, anime/mangas are a lot more personal than books . . .

I always feel weird finishing a manga cause it's so final.
Like right now, ummm how do I put this in words hmmm . . .

It's like losing a constant.
A part of your identity.

And then you just there, stare at a screen and wonder.


Yeah, I'm in a mood. All melancholy and nostalgia.

Now I just feel so old, like when Andy went off to college. Finishing this felt like I was literally closing the door on my younger self.

So where's the good in this goodbye?

I just loved this manga. So much!

I can't deal. They actually got married. I was crying and crying because I feel so happy for them. This volume flipped me to supporting the Misaki-Takumi bandwagon. It was a beautiful ending, honestly.

I loved seeing everyone grow up- in fact that might have been what made me cry because of what they all went through together and now seeing them with snapshots of their respective, mature lives made me smile and weep with bittersweet happiness.

It's bittersweet because we've just been through so much with all these characters. From Misaki 'hating' Takumi's guts, to letting him see all of her- the transition was almost seamless and them finally getting together in the end and being successful in their professional lives was a wonderful fairy tale ending that I haven't seen in a while.

It's sad to know that it is the end, but I'm glad that everyone's happy (even Tora, with his ever-loyal Maki :P) and I can start making room in my heart for more heart-warming stories like this one was. Really great ending!

This is such an impressive romcom manga. Or shoujo, whatever.

Strong female protagonist, HILARIOUS side characters, and just overall a great story. I loved the relationship between Ayuzawa and Takumi, their personalities where so constant and the development was done so well.

GUHHH THE ENDING WAS SO UNDENIABLY HAPPY BUT IT STILL HURT. I just want to see more married Ayuzawa and Takumi OKAY. Aoi-chan was such a surprise but I'm so happy on how his character turned out.

Now that I finished the series I.m feeling kind of lost. I don;t really know what to do anymore. I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye.

Aww, I'm pretty sure this is the first manga I ever read and now...it's over!

Really fantastic though, I loved how they all turned out, and the 10 years later thing was just so nice, I got all sentimental :')

Aah. I can't believe that I have reached the end. Maid-sama! will certainly always be one of my favorite shoujo manga. I love it so much that I can't even form a proper review! My head is empty, but my heart is filled with warmth and satisfaction! (Ugh. How corny.) Right now, all I can say is that it's wonderful and splendid because the chemistry between the characters (not just the MCs, but also the supporting ones) are amazing! There is a diversity of characters, and I find it hilarious when Misaki reacts opposite from what I expect (which is like, often). Also, Misaki and Usui are couple goals! Big time!

Misaki and Takumi <3

It's really embarrassing that all I can say is "I love it", but I have nothing else to write because I really do love it! It's unforgettable, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to read shoujo manga! I promise that you won't regret it! (≧∇≦)/

I cannot believe that I am finished this series, it was so good. I wanted to wait and read this volume tomorrow but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Plus, I need to move on and start reading books that I am missing out on like Winter and Lady Midnight. I am so sad that I am finished this series but I could always come back and reread it! :) It was a great conclusion to the series, but I would love to read more of the characters and see more of their lives in the future.

This is about a girl named Misaki who is the school president at Seika High. She is secretly working as a maid in a cafe. But Usui discovers this secret and hasn't left Misaki's side ever since then. He is always there for her, protecting her and supporting her. Slowly the two characters learn to open up to each other and learn that it is okay to depend on others under certain circumstances. The two characters go through a crazy journey.

The characters are so amazing in this series, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! I am going to miss them so much, all of the things they say make my day. Usui is one of those guys that are too good to be true. You wish he is real and wish that there was someone like him in the real world. Misaki is the girl that everyone would love, she is strong and trustworthy. She is one of the most loyal people that you can trust.

The side characters were a great addition to this series as well. Yukimaru is awesome, I love his character so much, he makes me laugh so much. I love Kanou, he is amazing as well and makes a great leader. Aoi is awesome, he is so unique and different, I just love everything about him. Sakura and Shizou are amazing friends to Misaki. Shintani is a great friend who helps Misaki with everything. Suzana is a great little sister and I love her so much! I love the manager of the maid cafe, I wish she was real. I wish everyone was real, they are all great friends!

"I guess I'm a girl who lacks self-awareness as one, or just too manly, eh?"

I loved the bonding between the different characters. Usui and Misaki are the main roles and their bond is so strong. I love everything about their relationship and I am happy with everything that has happened. I love Yukimaru and Kanou's bond, they make great friends. The three fools are great too, they are so funny and they seem to be inseparable. Yuuga and Sakura have a great bond too, but I don't care that much about it. I love Shizou too, she is an amazing friend. Suzana's relationship with Misaki is so cute! Shintani and Misaki have a strong bond that I envy. I want to see how Shintani and Suzana's bond develops because we didn't get that much of a conclusion on that.

"Well, I won't be disappointed, no matter what you do."

The character development was crazy in this series. Misaki is so different from the girl I read about in volume one. Usui changed so much too, the way they both changed each other's life is something that makes this series more realistic. Suzana changed so much too, I love everything about her. Shintani changed so much too, he is much more mature. Kanou changed so much too, he is so much more confident and I love how much he changed. I love seeing that Misaki is a role model to others, she is a great president.

I don't want to say goodbye to this series! This is me saying goodbye. :(


I highly recommend this series to everyone who has read manga and want to read a light, funny read with awesome characters. If you haven't read manga, this is a great series to start with! If you watched the anime and want more, this is perfect. I remember when I finished the anime I wasn't satisfied with how it ended but the manga gave me everything that I had wanted! I hope they make these volumes into episodes in the anime! I'll be off to read my next book and happy reading!

How can you ever say 'no' to a manga that you've been following and waiting ever so patiently for that has such great artwork and fantastic plot, not to mention the awesome couple? It ended and my heart broke but at the same time, I was feeling all sort of sweet and fluffy because of the ending.

The only complain is why, WHY, there still hasn't a company making a second season of anime when the manga has ended nicely like this? I know for a fact that people WILL pay a fortune to watch it because I will. Seriously, don't hold it against me. Just go and goddamn watch the anime and you'll know how it leaves you wanting for more.

Okay, so I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't like this because I wasn't a fan of the volume 17, however.... this was kind of a perfect ending c:

Really did mange to give closure on pretty much every aspect of the series; from who would replace Misaki as student council president, whether Misaki would ever reveal to her classmates what her part time job was, whether she and Usui would get their "happily ever after", what would happen with Suzuna... and Hinata... and the Three Idiots...

Very impressive ending to the series c:

Y finalmente se acaba, aunque no sin que primero Takumi haga sufrir un poco a Usui por lo de estudiar par el examen de la Universidad, y de paso sufra ella.

Buen final, aparte también la hermana, bien por ella.

Que si algunas cosas que se agregaron a la historia en volúmenes finales, ni tuvieron impacto.

Tiene puntazos y me ha tenido enganchada. Aún así hay demasiado diálogo lo que hace pesada la lectura y la protagonista apenas madura hasta casi al final. Pero bueno, entretenimiento entre libro y libro con final bonito :)

I was actually reading the 2-in-1 edition this whole time, but Ig when I uploaded my review for the first manga, I must've not realized that edition was available to review. It might've been rushed near the end, some things could've been changed, but I'm glad they're happy, I really am.
