Not me aggressively sobbing during their first date

[Pinky]

This just keeps getting better and better and I feel like I am getting really impatient because i just keep reading. I don't realize until after I have read the book that I need to update my status on Goodreads! Shame on me! Anyway, I loved this volume a lot and I am going to have another review for Volume 10 soon!

This is about a girl named Misaki who is the school president of Seika High. She has a part time job as a maid in a cafe in order to support her family. She wants this to be kept a secret but one day Usui, on of the most popular boys from her school, finds out she is a maid. He hasn't left her side ever since he found this out and the two went on crazy adventures and slowly open up to each other!

Usui and Misaki's relationship gives me the chills :) (In a good way!)


Whenever I read about these two and the things they go through, it makes me laugh, cry and happy. I sometimes yell into my tablet, saying I wish they would confess to each other. But their relationship is progressing really well and it makes me so happy. But there are a few things that are bothering me and I want to get it out of my chest.

The thing that is bothering me the most is the fact that we don't know that much about Usui. It really bothers me and I already mentioned this before. I just wish we learned more about his character. I feel like Misaki is the only one who is opening up. Usui is the complete opposite, he is so sweet but I want to know more about him. Who is he? Where did he come from? Why is he so rich? Is he secretly a prince or something?

Shintani is an amazing character and I am growing to like him so much! Kanou is so awesome and I am glad that he is slowly getting used to company. Sakura is a great friend along with the manager of the cafe. I loved all of the different characters! Yukimaru is the best and Aoi-chan too!

I really hope we learn more about Usui and that is what I am waiting for. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good manga that messes with your feelings. I also recommend this to anyone who has watched the anime and wants more of the characters! I love this so much and I hope you do too!

Misaki reclaims the position as the president of the student council beating Kanou by only 1 point. Kanou, because of the election, starts to have confidence in himself and I like that he's beginning to become more friendly and closer to girls.

My heart also breaks for Shintani. 3 Even though he already knew that Misaki likes Usui, he still doesn't want to give up and is willing to wait for Misaki, hoping that one day her feelings would change. It's really sad. :'( On the other hand, Usui is finally back after getting a restraining order from Misaki during the campaign period. Lol.

It continues with Misaki's birthday celebration at a karaoke bar and her date with Usui for the first time. Usui is really sweet and cute and romantic and sweet and perfect! I would love to have a boyfriend like him. And as he said, he doesn't intend to let Ayuzawa runaway from him. Kyaaaa! :")

I really love this volume!! :)

[DonutKnow]

Hmmm... maybe they are meant for each other. But I still really like Shintani, I hope he finds happiness.

[libby]

this was so cute omg omg

Esto inesperadamente cada vez me está gustando más

they played the p o c k y game

[Natalie]

This volume covers the conclusion of the class/school president campaign (including the winner) before shifting focus to a certain maid's birthday and what that entails ;D

Not a bad volume overall, but I wasn't as impressed by this one as I have some of the previous ones. Possibly because there wasn't so much comedy in this volume?

Chapter notes below for reference: (spoiler heavy)


Chapter 37. LMAO. The posters of Kanou are AMAZING.
--
Misaki has faith in Kanou to be a good president. I love it ;u; <33
--
Oh awesome! Kanou and Misaki are going to have a proper “battle” with none of the underhanded tactics from the first years. I love it c:
--
Awwwww. I love the cute Usui/Misaki moments <3

Chapter 38. Oh neat! All the guys that are scared of Misaki are learning just how much she has done for the school (including them!) behind the scenes.
--
They’re trying really hard to spy on Misaki and work out what she does outside of school time 8’D Hopefully she’s able to keep her secret (for once)?
--
The results are in, and holy CRAP. Misaki won by only one vote! And I love how all the third years voted for Kanou but didn’t specify him by name, thus causing the ballots to be faulty (and not counted). That’s amazing XD
--
Kanou has plans to actually (voluntarily) run for president the next time around? That’s amazing - and I think he’d make a really good successor to Misaki c:
--
Usui? What’s going on?

Chapter 39. Aoi’s back!
--
That’s good of you Misaki - to take Hinata aside quietly to let him know (in person) that you can’t return his feelings. Very good way to do so - and it’s clear (from Hinata’s reaction) that he knew this was coming.
--
That’s nice and all that you’re willing to wait Hinata… but I don’t think it’s fair to put that on Misaki :/
--
Still no explanation on why Usui was going with the rich douchebag?

Chapter 40. ...They’re going to karaoke to celebrate Misaki’s birthday? o.O
--
Oooh… that’s awkward. First song is by the band that Sakura likes (and has a crush on one of the members from).
--
She got a present from Aoi! And it is… 100% on brand for Aoi. Don’t know why anyone is possibly surprised by what the gift was :P
--
Aoi made the dress by hand? That’s really impressive!
--
Why is Misaki laughing at Usui singing? I don’t understand XD
--
What did she getttttt. What were her presentssssss.

Chapter 41. Lmao. I love their date. That’s adorable <33 And Usui giving her a camera with tons of photos taken on the day is a really sweet gift too c:
--
They ran into the vice president of the rival (rich) school! Is this his butler’s cafe?
--
That’s so sad ;u; The reason Misaki can’t cook is because she was passed over in favour of her little sister by her mother (because she was so busy with study and work) and now that she’s older and wants to learn she feels too embarrassed to ask ;u;
--
WHAT ARE THE RICH DOUCHEBAGS UP TO.

[Kaitlyn]

I would die for Usui and Misaki.

[Keanna (JustKey)]

*Review of Volumes 7-9*
I'm gonna stop here for now. I've been skimming more and more, skipping parts that don't have Usui and Misaki together. I haven't been terribly invested in the side characters or Misaki's reign of terror except for that one maid with some serious beef with Misaki's wishy washy attitude. I mean respect honestly. The couple content I do enjoy, but even their dynamic is not my favorite. I mean Usui is constantly pushing Misaki and only recently did both Misaki and Usui calm down a little, but these uncomfortable moments still pop up. On top of that, Hinata is part of a love triangle, which I know will tick me off to no end. Will I continue this later? I would consider it.

[TheGracefulReader]

THE GOOD

Misaki: The end of the student council election is drawing near and when Misaki's birthday rolls around, her Maid Latte family and Usui are determined to treat her to a time she'll never forget! And she and Usui grow even closer on her actual birthday...

Usui: He's still as silly and sweet as ever, and you can tell he loves Misaki.

Tora: Oooh, Tora is back and up to his tricks again...what does he have in store for us?

THE BAD

The seniors; these guys were jerks to Kanou and the girls.... and they had the nerve to talk back to Misaki? Like.... have you boys learned nothing?

[P.P. Rahayu]

Maid-sama! Vol. 09
by Hiro Fujiwara

4/5 stars

The beginning of this volume is focused on the students council's election. Misaki has to compete with Kanou. He was chosen as the representative from the first grade. Well, so many methods that being used on the process. Well, actually Kanou is forced to participate but at the end, he knows why he could get interest to being the student pres.

Then, once again, there is some suspicious thing from Usui. How is exactly the relationship between him and the Miyabigaoka's student pres? He's really suspicious until now.. So many secret about Usui and it's a little bit irritating... Sigh.

[Kaitlynne]

I've never made it past volume 6? Maybe 8? And I finally got my hands on every single issue so I did a mass re-read/catch up finally... So this is a review for the series as a whole. This was SO funny. I loved the relationship that Misa and Usui had, and the friendships that they all had with some of the other characters.

I enjoyed getting to watch them all grow and learn about themselves. There were a few matchups at the end that didn't really make any sense to me. But other than that this was a highly enjoyable series, and I can't wait to re-re-read it. (and then maybe update each review with volume specific notes)

[Lizzie RoseShine]

The most curious part was igarashi n usui were talking in conversation whom I was curious what they talking about. Usui n misaki eat Pocky game so cute n adorable together.I feel bad for shintani n made me sad to see him even though he knows misaki feelings n hope he find happiness.oh yeah celebrate misaki birthday advance before her real birthday are coming. Maid -sama employees with misaki,usui n Aoi joined karaoke, giving presents n have fun.I wondered why usui is hiding something even misaki noticed or not.

[Phantomº]

NO ANIME CONTENT NO ANIME CONTENT
Kanou has really grown as a character, I'm calling him becoming the president next year.
Pocky scene made my soul leave my body....
This volume was so beautiful...Finally a date~! This is the chapter the anime got its ED sequence. Anyhow, it was so cute and Usui & Misa are meant to be...

[Alejandra RL]

A pesar de que fueron las elecciones y el cumpleaños de Misaki, siento que lo que leí en este tomo ya lo había leído antes.

Eso si, me gustó como poco a poco la relación entre Usui y Misaki se va estrechando, y que a pesar de ser la diabólica presidenta del consejo estudiantil, haya personas que genuinamente se preocupen por Misaki.

[Rahmah]

Bukannya ga seru komik ini, tapi mood baca lagi naik-turun kayak roller coaster, jadinya progress baca komik ini juga lama ^^. Padahal ceritanya menarik. Suka akutu yang shoujo tipikal cowoknya bucin, tapi ga murahan juga bucinnya hahaha XD

Mana di vol. ini Misaki juga mulai terbuka sama perasaannya <3

[LOU VERA]

Une très bonne lecture, c'est toujours agréable est sympa, plein d'humour, les personnages sont construits, on voit un peu le développement du personnage de Kanô, il y a plein de moments drôles notamment le Karaoké. J'ai aimé le petit rencard qu'on a entre Misaki est Usui, la scène sur le toit aussi, vraiment je l'ai adore. La fin nous donne envie de vouloir lire la suite comme d'hab.

[Kim]

I wasn’t surprised that to Misaki even though she told Usui her feelings were mutual that she wouldn’t consider them to be dating. She really needs to communicate with Usui. But the pocky game! And them spending her birthday together was cute.

[Paulina ෂ]

Cada vez me gusta más la relación de Usui y Misaki ^^ al igual que el carácter de Misa frente a las votaciones y su energía para apoyar a Kano ... <3

[Amara]

The volumes are steadly getting better, the story more interesting.

[Kurtis Burkhardt]

Pretty sweet manga👌😁💕💕 Highly recommend if you like slice of life/ Shoujo^.^

quiet screaming

[Giselle Contreras]
