REVIEW: Maid Sama! GN 4

Kanou, the hypnotist who was introduced as a villain in the previous volume, never really progresses past the level of unlikable side character and is eventually cast aside.

not to mention that one boy who cross-dresses in Lolita garb (it was funny the first time, but he's only been an annoyance since then)

I don't feel the problem with the art, and find it to be heaps better than your typical shoujo art which is usually void of backgrounds and very little in terms of action. If anything Maid-Sama's artwork has an energy to it that few shoujo manga attempt, and it works for it.

Still, good review even if I don't agree with the weak spots.

... What? That's not what happened. He's the megane of the comic now. You underestimate the shoujo fans appeal of getting attached to the nerdy boy who's scared to death of women (and now forced into bunny ears). If anything we saw a more lovable side to Kantarou; he's getting used to the idea of being around women in the class, and that thing were he helped that girl get over her fear of boys was adorable - instant moe for fangirls. He wasn't just thrown to the side, the comic switches focus from school to the maid cafe, as it does so often. What more, the cafe took a trip to the beach. Claiming Kantarou was thrown to the side you might as well claim the whole school cast was thrown with it.

Perhaps you're talking with knowledge of what happens beyond volume 4? Because I didn't get any sense that he might become a recurring character like you're implying once his chapters were finished in volume 4.
