PLOT

Seika High School, once an all-boys school notorious for its wild students and for generally being a terrifying place for girls, has recently become a co-ed school. With the female population still a minority and living in fear of the over-the-top antics of the males, Misaki Ayuzawa takes it into her own hands to reform the school and allow the girls to feel safe in the rough environment. Training, studying, and even becoming the first female student council president of the school, Misaki has gained a reputation among the male students body as an uptight, boy-hating dictator and as a shining hope for the teachers and fellow female students. However, despite her tough-as-nails appearance, she secretly works part-time at a maid café in order to support her family. Unfortunately, her hard-earned reputation is threatened when the popular, attractive, and somewhat impassive Takumi Usui takes an interest in her after discovering her in a maid uniform after school.


CHARACTERS

Misaki Ayuzawa:

The main character and protagonist of the story! Obviously a tsundere – violent, explosive and at times unreasonable side of her personality eventually changes over time through her interactions with Usui Takumi, the male lead. It is always expected that it’s going to be a romantic relationship that does change this violent, boy hating masochist into almost a blushing, love sensitive, caring monster (thus the term tsundere).


Although we know this, we are still curious about the process that follows this vague description of the plotline – and that’s where Usui’s mysterious (yet sexy) aura comes in – along with his unknown background~ If you take a look at the manga, the guys are always hot from the beginning, while the female protagonist – the one going through the most changes as the plot advances – gets cuter and cuter both personality-wise and appearance wise.

Attitude: “Discipline is the way to go – nothing’s earned unless you go through suffering ” & “Screw you, if you break my rules, I don’t care who you are, you’re doing things MY WAY“

Combination: Haruhi Suzumiya ( The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) + Yuri (Yuripee) Nakamura (Angel Beats!) + Hikari Hanazono (Special A) = Misaki Ayuzawa?!?

Takumi Usui:

Stalker, Chess expert, cooking master, incredible athlete, artist, smart (2nd in exams after Misaki), smexy, and an exotic background too. In other words – the COMPLETE PACKAGE (how did Misaki manage to bag this dude?) First things first, there is absolutely NO DOUBT that he is SMEXY/HOT/HANDSOME/DASHING – especially after the style change in the manga. He does look a bit deformed at times in the anime (*writes complaint letter*) – especially in those oddly *coughuglycough* coloured uniforms.


Usui’s type is very unique – he’s like a silent genius in some ways – a strategist, observer, someone who has the meaning of life wrapped around their finger.
