Goddammit... I was hoping that Jon would do this, but whatever... He can do the later ones. But he'll be much nicer than me on this series...

I expected nothing at first with this series. The is another secret to keep within a girl and a boy and this intertwines them into a friendship like no other(except for Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, Hana Kimi, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, etc, etc...). The only exception is the reverse trap known as Subaru Konoe. She is a butler for the filthy rich ojou-sama, Kanade Suzutsuki. Subaru is athletic, popular with the ladies and hides her sexuality to become a butler for the Suzutsuki family.

Subaru on the left, Suzutsuki on the right.

(BTW, Subaru does not look like a guy in ANY WAY!! The seiyuu did a good job of getting a boyish tone with the character, but she looks nothing like a bloody guy! Sakamachi's school is full of crackheads...)

What do you mean I don't look like a guy?!?!

The main character; Kinjirou Sakamachi, is a pussy-whipped high school boy that has been beat up by his mother and sister. This causes him to have the DUMBEST allergic reaction to girls yet: he gets a nosebleed. So he tries not to get close to girls.

Isn't that right pussy boy?

Then he finds out Subaru's secret by falling on her and grabbing her breasts (wow, how original) and with this he starts a deal with Suzutsuki to never reveal the secret and to be Subaru's friend.

The plot is completely unoriginal and a complete mess. It is boring, stupid and really, just another shonen ecchi comedy. This is the bad and I am just saying that there isn't a thing here that hasn't been done by Kampfer, To-Love-ru, Love Hina or anything else.

Sadist Suzutsuki is nice though

That's where the good schtuff comes in. The series is full of moe and funny perverted jokes. These are pretty good jokes and would live up to the standard of R-15 if not surpass it. Plus, Subaru and Suzutsuki are REALLY attractive and full of moe.

Episode 1: Introduction of the main cast and premise.
Episode 2: Subaru's clash with the Sakamachi family and her friendship crisis
Episode 3: Swimming pool and Subaru's history

But seriously, Ikoku Meiro no Croisee gets my cute guts ripping to shreds while Mayo Chiki gets my moe meter beyond human capacities. I couldn't stop myself from cringing at the Subaru moments and that's a good thing for the guys. For the girls however, I can only see a very small fraction of them enjoying this series. It really is geared towards young boys, especially the ecchi...

The OP is generic, the ED is generic, and the soundtrack isn't interesting either. This is an unoriginal anime, but a good unoriginal anime that tickles your moe meter. Want proof?

Overall this is a series worth watching ONLY if you aren't tired of the shonen ecchi genre. It is generic, it is repetitive, it is dumb, but it IS full of moe.

PS: I am ashamed that I am enjoying this series. >_>
