Bạn đang xem: Maid sama!

If you wonder what it means, let me make it clear. Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama when translated, means – “The Class President is a Maid”.

It gained fans all over the globe for its impeccable depiction of romance & drama.

Comedy has been so subtle in this, that the viewers could not resist laughing. Another reason why it gained popularity was realism.

Maid Sama portrayed the romance between Misaki and Usui as a natural part of the plot.

The main conflict in the story was about how Misaki tried lớn lead two opposing lives, secretly.

The “Damsel in distress” and her secret life ensured that the viewers were glued lớn the screens.

It was one of the rare instances where an anime season contained more than 24 episodes.

All the episodes were adapted from its manga. The first season was aired between April và September 2010.

But now the question is, where is the second season? Let"s find out!

Everything we know about Maid Sama so far

The characters of Maid Sama were not some out-of-the-world perfect characters. They were crafted in a way that made them look real, natural, và relatable.

The main two characters are – Ayuzawa Misaki and Usui Takumi. Their lives, story, và relationships are what the anime is primarily about.

Misaki, though a senior, is a new entrant khổng lồ the Seiki High School. The notable thing about this institution is that it was a boys’ only school before.

It recently opened up for girls too. Being a very sincere and smart student, Misaki gets elected as the president of the student council.

She was aware of all the pitfalls of the school. Her determined attitude inspired her lớn take steps lớn discipline the school.

Not many knew about her life outside school. Though she was a celebrity inside, her life outside was very harsh.

Her father abandoned the family long back. This put that heavy responsibility on the shoulders of Misaki và her mother.

After her mother got sick, she was forced to fend for her family. This is when she joined the Maid Latte café for work.

She kept her outside life a secret, at school. She fears that she may thất bại her powerful aura if anyone finds out about her hard life.

However, things take a tough turn when she bumps into Usui Takumi, at the café.

Usui is a popular guy who is also at thesame school. He recognizes the school president in a maid uniform at the café.

Though she fears that he may let the cat out of the bag, he does not.

Her secret remains between them as he does not utter a word about it to anyone outside.

Usui is an all-rounder at school & this also attracts Misaki. Soon, they fall in love and they confess their feelings toeach other.

This is where Season 1 ends.

Official Announcements và Release date of Maid Sama Season 2
