Introduction
Due to his mother and sister, who both love professional wrestling, Kinjirou Sakamachi developed a resilient body that could take hard punches, aggressive kicks, and even deadly vehicle bumps, in order to survive their various grappling positions and locks. However, he also developed gynophobia, an abnormal fear of women. With just one touch from a girl, his nose bleeds uncontrollably, he sweats excessively, and in rare cases, faints abruptly.
His life changes for the worse because of a fated meeting in the restroom. While trying to escape from a girl, he discovers that the most popular student in their school, Subaru Konoe—the butler of the headmaster’s daughter, Kanade Suzutsuki—is actually female! Surprised, Subaru violently assaults Kinjirou, dealing significant damage and knocking him unconscious. When he comes to, he meets Kanade. In exchange for his silence, she promises to help cure his phobia.

Finishing this left me incredibly empty not because something emotionally deep happened or i just finished bawling my eyes out instead I'm left empty because I don't get what the point of this anime and a lot of anime in the genre is. You could of honestly watched like 3 episodes of this and genuinely called it a day because it goes absolutely nowhere. We get introduced to characters and a potential romantic dynamic just for said dynamic to turn into an obsolete nothing burger. Now don't get me wrong I wouldn't have finished this if I didn't at least find it somewhat entertaining, I am an ecchi guy after all so those scenes were actually quite good and were animated well so that's some praise for mayo chiki.
Besides the cute girls , good production and good ecchi scenes there isn't anyth…

What people said back in 2011 still holds true in the big 2026, after watching Mayo Chiki! all I was left thinking was, "that can't be all, right?"
Mayo Chiki! is the supposed story between a guy who nosebleeds like crazy from the touch of women and a butler who is actually guy. In order to keep Subaru's job, Jirou had to be silent. Throughout the episodes though, their relationship blooms into something more than just a shared secret.... is what I would've loved to say.
Let's start with the good. Subaru is a cross-dressing tsundere butler, and her chemistry with Jirou is really enjoyable! There are good scenes here and there with everyone. Thank the good Lord above this is one of the rare animes that doesn't make the imouto a typical brocon but instead gives her her own life. The comedy…

Its the story of a guy Sakamachi Kinjirou (teased as Sakama “chiKin” jirou) in the worse harem ever.
A harem of constant pain, suffering, torture, and torment.
Surrounded by a bunch of violent psychopathic women that he just wants to get as far away from as possible.
From his sister constantly assaulting him to wake him up in the morning. From multiple times being forced to pretend to be someone’s boyfriend. From getting run over and then assaulted by a crazy girl. From getting jump-kicked out of nowhere just for talking to another person. From getting beat up due to a false kidnapping experiment. From name calling. From verbal abuse. From getting drugged and abducted...Just terrible characters left and right.
And they all just randomly show up no matter where he is. He’s at the beach,…

Mayo Chiki is okay. Not good but also not bad. Sometimes the anime is great and its comedic charm works, other times it just fumbles and seriously devalues their characters and overall narrative. I feel like if this anime was strictly comedic, I wouldn't have rated it "Mixed Feelings" or 5 stars.
-- Just a repeat of the text above to get past MAL's word requirements, seriously wtf --

“Mayo Chiki!” is what happens when You take a very specific phobia, turn the absurd to 11 and let it out to the world.
The plot of “Mayo Chiki!” is equally absurd and pretty well balanced. We witness the struggles of one Kinjirō Sakamachi - a second year high school student who suffers from gynophobia - the fear of women. Everytime our protagonist has physical contact with a woman he starts bleeding from his nose to the extent that prolonged exposure causes him to pass out.
One day this gem a man discovers that one of the most popular guys in his school and a butler to the school's principal’s daughter - Subaru Konoe is a girl. From this point on, blackmailed by Kanade Suzutsuki to keep quiet about this secret, he endures her attempts to “treat” his condition. In reality those are more l…

Firstly, If you like a show where you have a proper ending, then this is not for you! Hence "Mixed Feelings" recommendation.
Show is overall an 8.5/10.
Reason: The show ends on a cliffhanger for a second season, and episode 13 is a filler episode. Not to mention a mid tier 6/10 episode, and as a closing episode a 3/10. Actually makes me cringe with anger on why the producers just stuck the last episode at the end instead of in the middle.
Secondly, The part that really hurts is that the show is really good! a 8.5 average, the only reason the show is marked around a 7.3 is of no proper ending. definitely a great show to watch if you don't care about going to the Manga to finish the story.
Hmm.. I guess you could say the show is great but upsetting.

When I first started watching this anime it was rather enjoyable, until I reached the final few episodes everything just went hay wire I was extremely disappointed with the ending because its like they were lazy to think of a better ending.
I would recommend this anime though because it was enjoyable but I just have to say better not watch till the end because its rather disappointing.
Story - the story was great at the first few episodes but it started to make absolute no sense when it started to reach the final few episodes.
Art - The art was actually decent if i say so myself.
Sound - The sound was a bit messed up but it was still great.
Character - the character designs are actually surprisingly well done.
Enjoyment - Well I would recommend you to just watch till the mid point of…

I've seen nearly the exact setup of a family-heir being forced to cross dress and not be found out in order to meet with some dumb family tradition done at least a couple times before. Not a lot of times, mind you, but it's weird that it happened more than once isn't it? It's making me wonder if it has some deeper origin.
Mayo Chiki is fun in how far it pushes it's innuendo and lewdness without straying too far into "I Can't Believe It's Not Hentai" territory. In fact there was only one scene with any real nudity in the penultimate episode, and it was probably only there in whatever special dvd/blu-ray release I was watching because the listing here on MAL only has it as a PG-13. Despite the lack of nudity it manages to really push the envelope and there's a running joke of other characte…

What the heck is wrong with the last episode? it doesn't make sense like a hell-ish bit. Instead of finishing the series, it just talks nonsense. It's like ending with a filler! What is wrong with it?
Until Episode 12, it was all fine. I was expecting some lights being shed on mysterious Kanade. Some conclusion to the love triangle thingy between the 3. But NO! They decided it's a good idea to build an almost entirely new anime out of 2 characters from Mayo Chiki and call it a day.
Whoever planned it like this deserves a special place in hell. Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This anime definitely would not make you bored. Every episode has its own strength be it the sense of drama and suspense or the slapstick humour. These 2 factors are the main reasons that make the anime stand out more than the usual rom-com so it's definitely above average. Looking at it as a whole, it's very unique in the sense that it has the ability to make every episode exciting however because the anime is constantly being pumped in with humour and action, it blocks away the opportunities to insert the romance on a deeper level. If you are looking for something that is light-hearted then this anime is for you. However, if you are looking for a romance driven storyline then you might not be a fan of this show. Either way, the show has a good balance of aspects of a good comedy/slice of…

Finishing this, I have only one thought: disappointed. I think some others might also feel that.
Don't get me wrong - this is a good anime. But my criticism is that there's nothing significant at all about this series. It's just like a lower-tier version of any other high school romance harem anime. The plot isn't deep enough: I think some scenes have so much potential to be better, but yet they miss out the chance to develop on it. There is also minimal character development from my point of view, which is extremely frustrating. I know that throughout the story, the character personalities changes, but the changes are barely noticeable. I've not read the light novel, which might be great (who knows), but the anime, in my opinion, is very typical to any other high school romance to the po…

Mayo chiki! is yet another perfect rom-coms with ecchi situations enough to make a man noseblood-but wait, that's the story about..
Basically the mc nosebleeds when he gets into intimate contact with girls, so everyone thinks he's gay and weird in the school.But here's where he meets the most popular hot butler and his master ,the popular beautiful girl from a rich family- plot twist, the butler is cross-dressing,and the mc is the first person to find out that she's the girl in the most worst possible way.
By now you can imagine what this story's about-well that's all the story all about,so don't expect any plot developments,love triangles,or any of that sorts much, but expect entertainment,comedy,fan-service,as usual.
Totally worth a watch, not only i can say the usual line "worth a wa…

The show appealed to me because of the main character's mentioned phobia of women being specifically labeled as gynophobia in the description of the anime. So I was like, "Wowee! That could make for an interesting plot. I've never heard of that condition before." But as it turns out, I think that was just an excuse for classic anime gongglazoohibibbitydingslammerhomaromabimbus booba scenarios to play out. I did feel that the more emotional moments of the show where characters were having a heart to heart were really sincere though with character relationships being believable and kind of sweet and, God forgive me for saying, wholesome. Overall, I actually enjoyed my time with the show, however short those unfortunately 13 episodes were.

~~~No Spoilers~~~
Art : 9
Character : 8
Sound : 7
Enjoyment : 7
Story : 3
Overall : 7 To start with , I suggest going and reading the anime's description above before watching the anime because, considering the story , that's literally it .
We got a really tough guy that can survive 10 consecutive car crashes but with a weakness called "genophobia" ( being "physically scared" of women) . I mean, this anime is a comedy and you cant expect that much quality from these kind of anime plus the main protagonist has a harem which makes all things just messed up on its own , and yes I am a fan of harem anime.
About the characters, almost each girl in his harem has her own really special and funny characteristics that make the anime really enjoyable and interesting ONLY if we exclude the main p…

First of all the constant harassment, assault, and sexual assault makes me really uncomfortable. Personally this anime has crossed my line. The whole basis of this show is making the main character a punching bag constantly receiving blows from everyone else, as well as sexual assault(just because he's male and the females are hot doesn't mean it's ok), so I don't understand how you can like this show without being a masochist, I just spent the whole time sympathising with all the shit this guy goes through. So I hate the female protagonist, I'm fine with reasonable tsunderes like from toradora, but it's too much when you want to beat up someone into amnesia because you forgot to lock the door. I also hate the rich bitch because she claims to do everything to help them both, help the girl…

This show is kinda trash but I love it - it feels kinda like a guilty pleasure.
It doesn't do anything new, other than a somewhat original premise, but it does it well.
Warning: the show doesn't really finish; there's an arc closure in ep 12, but there's no romantic story finish in the anime (looks like you'll need to follow the manga/LN to get that)
Pros: Most of the characters were well fairly well developed, and all had fairly good reasons to be involved with the MCs, rather than the standard "inexplicably drawn to whoever the protagonist is." The stories and shenanigans were fun, the relationships were (mostly) wholesome, and there was even some good character development. I didn't feel bored in any of the episodes. (Except episode 13, its just a filler episode independent of any o…

Okay, first off, i've already watch this anime twice. Also reading their manga. So, i don't think i can get any wrong.
First time i watch this anime i feel really cringe. Like hell alot. LIke "How is that possible?" And then i realise this anime was a freakin' comedy show. So, I think this was my wrong, because i think the story will be so cool. But then, this anime is so standard.
Second, i like those seiyuu's and they voice is adorable and match to the character.
Third, I love how their staff/animator working the character eyes. They're so glazed. And I've never seen before.
Fourth,I feel like the main character isn't that chill than i expected. He was really really got played with Kanade or the Ojou-sama.
Conclusion, i don't really enjoy this anime. Tbh, i dont really like fan serv…

Loved this series... until the last episode which should have been somewhere in the middle of the series. episode 12 was a good ending then they ruined it with a stupid out of placed OVA that isn't an OVA.
The Characters are great and i had a lot of enjoyment out of this series, the comedy is on point and there is ecchi scenes... until you get to the end where they throw Full Nudity which is out of place. the artstyle is just over average, and the Suzutsuki has those dead eyes suiting of her personality.
the Romance is good but like most Harem, it goes no where at the end, but at least they try to make it happen with both MC's and Kinjiro acknowledges at the end unlike some harem protagonists...
I give it 7/10 because of that ending, the rest is great.

I personally did not like this anime at all.
Premise:
A boy named Sakamichi Kinjiro has gynophobia caused by his abusive sister and mother, which causes his body to react to any female's touch by giving him a nosebleed or making him pass out. One day he finds out that his high school's idol(Konoe Subaru) is actually a girl and not a boy as was presumed.
The reason I don't like this show:
I don't like this show because the "romance" factor between him and each lead female is built off of them abusing him physically. Konoe Subaru does redeem herself and refrains from hitting him most of the time, even when misunderstandings are present, which is more than I can say about any other female in this show. Mostly every single girl in the show is introduced by them kicking, punching, or getti…

Mayo Chiki! (2011)
Episode 13 is more OVA than an episode.
The show itself can be criticised for the use of generic harem style. However, the argument that should always be remembered is that unless you say the same for every single harem outside of the first few that were written not adapted then the argument falls flat. I say written since the original harems may not all be adapted yet so would face criticism even if they are older than others.
The story this time with the harem is different due to the cross-dressing girl butler for reasons explained in the show. The show does something unusual for me and that is it gives all the girls as best girls. I honestly cannot fault any of them in the roles they play to choose easily. Personally, although I adore a sadist type like Kanade I…
