Crunchyroll describes the anime:
There's something really strange about the maid I just hired! No normal person could be so beautiful, or cook such amazingly delicious food, or know exactly what I want before I even ask. She must be using magic - right, a spell is the only thing that can explain why my chest feels so tight whenever I look at her. I swear, I'm going to get to the bottom of what makes this maid so...mysterious!
The show premiered on 24 stations in Asahi Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and TV Asahi's network on July 23. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it is airing in Japan.
