You Are Ms. Servant

I binged episodes 1-8 in a single day, and it was an absolute delight! This anime masterfully blends romance, comedy, and slice-of-life, with a touch of fantasy. The story revolves around a charming dynamic between the characters, and Yuki absolutely steals the show. Her personality, paired with her adorable looks, reminded me so much of Yor Forger from Spy x Family-strong, elegant, and yet irresistibly cute.

The genre falls under romantic comedy with a hint of light drama, and the anime fits into the "shoujo" category, appealing to fans who love heartwarming relationships. While the plot might not be groundbreaking, its execution is captivating, making you root for the characters and their journey.

For anyone who enjoys lovable characters and a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, You Are Ms. Servant is a must-watch. Can't wait to dive into more episodes!

(14+) I liked this series primarily because of the female protagonist and two of the supporting female protagonists - didn't care a whole lot for the male lead. Some of their scenes were very funny (like the "life or death" love Ms Servant develops for a sauce condiment!) One of the female antagonist assassins in a supporting role is really pretty funny, and her interactions with the two leads once she switches goals is pretty epic. The dog they get is also great, and overall, this is a definite recommend - NOT because of the male lead, though!

Hitoyoshi Yokoya is a high school boy whose life changes when Yuki enters his life. One day she turns up at his house asking to be employed as his maid... previously she had been a top assassin! She hopes to leave that life behind. Inevitably feeling will develop between them but will it go anywhere?

I thought this series was enjoyable and rather sweet, even if I do suspect it will, like most shows, be forgotten about not too long after I watch the final episode. That isn't really a bad thing; a show only needs to entertain you while watching and one can't remember everything one watches. The characters are likeable and both character design and animation is good. Overall I'd not say this is a must see but it is worth checking out if you enjoy the genre; just don't expect lots of action, it isn't that sort of show.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

You Are Ms. Servant might sound like a typical "cute maid assassin moves in" story, but it's so much more than that. The relationship between Hitoyoshi and Yuki is the heart of the series, and it's developed beautifully. Yuki, trained as an assassin from childhood, struggles to fit into normal society. Watching Hitoyoshi patiently help her overcome her emotional barriers is both touching and rewarding.

The ending leaves you with mixed feelings. Hitoyoshi's confession about liking Yuki and wanting her as part of his family feels heartfelt, but did Yuki fully understand it? The open-ended nature leaves us craving a Season 2 to see how their relationship evolves.

Riko, Hitoyoshi's younger sister, adds charm with her intelligence and cuteness, and the animation does justice to both emotional moments and action-packed fight scenes.

This show surprised me with its depth, blending action, humor, and heartfelt character moments. I didn't want it to end. 9/10-a must-watch for anime fans.

I ENJOYED THE SERIES A LOT BUT I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS VERY LOW RATINGS . I'D RATE IT 8.8/10 . I COULDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND SO FAR HOW IT DISSATISFIED THE AUDIENCE .THE 2nd ROM-COM ANIME I'VE EVER SEEN . I ENJOYED IT A LOT . I WANT A 2nd SEASON . I THINK IT MIGHT BE UNDERRATED AS MANY ANIMES WERE RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2024 AND OTHER AUDIENCE SEE THOSE ANIMES . BUT WHAT I'VE TO TELL IS THIS IS UNDERRATED . WELL BUT ANYHOW , I LIKED IT VERY MUCH . THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ROM-COM ANIME SO FAR . BUT LET'S HOPE IT COULD REACH OUT MANY PEOPLE IF 2nd SEASON RELEASES . BUT I'D RESPECT OTHERS OPINION ALSO .
