Wow, I can't belive people still publish that type of manga. Exactly HOW many times has this been done? I'll probably never read this series, yet I can already predict the ending.
What made me laugh was the fact the purpose of this manga is to literally shove fanservice down any unspecting reader. Got to love those hidden messages and old predicatable sterotypes.
Let me take a wild guess on the main male character's personality for the heck of it. He's the type of run of the mill shonen character that acts like he doesn't like the main female character and yet despite all the talk on how he does not like her, he does like her indeed.
Also, he probably is either very loud or just plain strange. And to top it all off, he has his own harem. Sounds pretty predictable to me.
Thank you for the review, awesome work none the less! Yet again these reviews saved me from reading a manga that is quite boring.

If I had an over-abundance of cash, I would do the same.
I have a thing for nekked demons...
Side note: We need more maid themed manga released in the US.

Hmm, fanservice, cute demon girls, and there might be a thin plot somewhere on occasion? Sounds like fun to me!
Seriously, this actually sounds like a fun little manga. Nothing to read when in a serious mood but just a bit of fluff to help make the world seem a little less cruel and painful.

It got fanservice?! How horrible! It must be crap than! There is no way Americans could ever stand fanservice right?
Oh no, Americans only like DEEP and ORIGINAL things right???
Its not like Americans could like something that has sexuality or fan or comedy or pretty girls in it, cause than is must be sexist and unserious and unintelligent right???
In fact, Americans only like conservative things cause they're [i love everyone].
This is why we can't have nice things, because of the conservatism and the retards who call themselfs SERIOUS FANS.
[Edit: Wow, good for you, you managed to be offensive and nationalistic in one post. Unfortunately we're fresh out of metals, we've just had to hand out far too many lately. You want to disagree with people, fine, but do so respectfully. Geographical and political boundaries don't make a persons choices for them no matter how convenient it is for someone like yourself who is so obviously bias towards a specific region and/or culture. You want to post then do so without your bigotry and respond and discuss the matter with people in a civilized fashion. This type of behavior will not be tolerated, so save it for your next flag burning party. - Keonyn]

Wow....such nice blanket judgments there. You should go hang out or sleep with Asianguy as I'm sure you 2 could be the best of friends. And personally I'd rather be a conservative retard then someone who's loud mouthed, illiterate, racist, and ignorant. But perhaps that's just me.

I think the problem is that that is ALL north american auidences seem to like these days. Hollywood teen 'comedies' anyone? And heaven forbid media that actually makes you question your values or the state of affairs outside of your comfortable existance.
Women are rarely represented fairly in media, but no one seems to care anymore, and if you speak out against it then your some horrible prude. This is the new feminism, where we are told that we've already arrived when we haven't at all.
And no. things that only have fanservice aren't deep or intelligent. That's the point of them. Why not admit it, and admit that you enjoy mindless fluff once in a while?

Of course not. But if you do like it, then you should like it for what it is. The above poster seems to be insinuating that it isnt just fluff. If i am incorrect in my assumption then I appologise.

I think I misunderstood who you were saying that to. When you said why not admit you like mindless fluff I thought you were talking about the reviewer. I do that sometimes.

The irony of the rage post is at least one person on this thread who likes his fanservice very much is also a Right-Winger of quite conservative views. He's just of the opinion that what a person believes is proper in real life has little to do with what should be allowed in fiction. (And just so there's not confusion, I'm referring to myself.)
Blanket statements are the refuge of the weak-minded, insults the weapon of choice for children bickering on a playground. (Or politicians in an election year.) They really have no place on a board that seeks to provide a place for at least moderately intelligent discourse on Japanese entertainment media.
It's possible to express one's views without resorting to hyperbolic statements seething with hatred on the Internet. I know that's a shock but it's true.

Oh damn, I thought you were describing me there for a second. Scary how accurate you were.
