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…

Oh God, I don't even know where to start this messy clusterfuck of a show.
Long long ago while this show was still airing I've decided to watch it and dropped it several episodes hence. Several years afterwards when I finally got around to checking which animes I have watched, I saw this and thought "hey this seems good, why haven't I seen this before" which brings me here.
Oh God, where to start. For starters, there are the general actions of the bloody characters. The characters appear to walking three years old with the body of teenagers. They accept commands simply because and their idea of common sense are basically not there.…

Story
It's about a girl who hides the fact that she is a girl so she can be a butler but Kenjirou finds out about this by accident and he is menaced to hide this or she will make him disappear, the story is ok even if this sounds silly but there's no ending, that bothered me, it ended with a normal ep. like a little back story for one of the girls he met before and didn't appear much but the story is ok justno good because of this.
Art & Animation
The animations was very good, the details, the landscape is great, the characters design are very good too.
Sound
The sound is very good, the VA was very good, the OP and ED are not bad.
Characters
The characters are interesting, all of them are different and refreshing in a comedy and not just the normal or cliche characters on other anime se…

Before I write anything for this anime, I will say something very important. This anime is really fun and enjoyable, no matter who watches it.
PEOPLE WHO WILL (most probably) ENJOY THIS ANIME:
People who enjoy light stories, with funny characters, some stupid drama and cute reactions.
PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT (most probably) ENJOY THIS ANIME:
People who are bored of typical anime stories and can't stand fan service or ecchi anime.
So, to kick off the review I will start with the story.
Story (8/10) : The story is pretty original, considering the genre. A girl who dresses like a guy falls in love with a guy that can't stay near girls. Pretty cheesy and cliche, but it suits the style of this anime. It's developement is decent and the end is really cool. So, yeah, pretty much you have a comple…

Very pleasant, a good invest of my time
I'm writing this review cos like everyone who loves anime, with the time you ineludible came across with this type of comedy, masters and butlers, I've particularly seen a good number of this kind of animes, but this is definitely different, the comedy is not exaggerate, the characters are very amusement and for all the episodes there is not a forced situations or stupid scenes.
Our protagonist have to deal with his problems witn women, and meanwhile he meets some girls very unique, he's not boring or an amazing boy who can do anything, is just a simply and good guy; but for the other hand the "master" girl in this anime is the stereotype of sadist master, but she is more cynical and even tender somethings, so every idea that she have became the s…

What can I say about Mayo Chiki? Well for starters this is one of those anime I pick based off of just the cover art alone. For every now and then I will just randomly pick something to watch and just use the cover art to give me just the smallest indication of what the show is.
The story revolves around Jirou, a high school boy who suffers from nose bleeds when in contact with girls. A new semester begins and on his first day as well, he bumps into Kanoe Subaru in the boys toilets. This which would be a normal thing, wasn't normal due to one thing. Kanoe Subaru so happened to be wearing panties.
After a few fists flying at each other and a lot of shouting we find out that Kanoe Subaru is a girl dressing up as a boy so that she can be a butler to a rich household. Subaru then entrusts…

The only reason I watched and finished Mayo Chiki was for the cross-dressing butler. I actually wish I had skipped all the episodes without her in it because this anime doesn't have much else going for it other than horribly overused harem cliches and ecchies thrown into a huge pile of you know what.
Story 6:
Guy discovers girl's secret. They make agreement to keep secret. They get close. Some other random girls show up. Lots of blushing and more blushing and nosebleeds. Every girl falling for the MC... how original.
Art 9:
The art is pretty impressive honestly. See for yourself.
Sound 8:
Voices and soundtracks were good. No complaints here.
Character 7:
Other than Subaru, I found many of the characters to be obnoxious: annoying little sister, obsessive BL fangirl, physically/verball…

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
Everybody has a weakness. This may be physically or psychologically. For some people, they try to cure this weakness to make themselves a stronger person. In Mayo Chiki, Jirou tries to do just this with the aide of the lady butler Subaru and her mistress Kanade. What we are left with is a fun show without much substance.
STORY
The story revolves around Jirou, a high school boy who has the worst case of gynophobia (fear of women) ever. One day at school, he discovers the secret of Subaru the boy butler -- he is actually a she in disguise. In order to keep this a secret, Subaru and her mistress Kanade decide to help him overcome his weakness.
First off, the show is very sexual in its content, more so than I knew going in. Almost every joke an…

My first run-through with this anime, I loved it. It started out very well and interesting; and the more episodes I watched, the more I fell in love with the anime.
Each episode kept me more and more interested in the anime. And even with my second run-through of rewatching the whole anime, I felt the same joy... there was a happiness that I felt more and more as I watched and enjoyed the series.
There is romance, ecchi (not ridiculous ecchi), comedy, & cross-dressing, and it's very entertaining. To me, I felt this anime was much of a generic romcom (romance/comedy)... where it doesn't teach much or give meaningful insights on symbolism to life and such. But that it's entertainment purposes, of which it does very well in providing that!
This anime is about romance between main character J…

Mayo Chiki focuses on Jiro the protagonist curing his fear of women. Even though Jiro had always hidden his fear for quite sometime he is forced to cure it by Suzusuki. All because of poor Jirou discovering the famed Subaru is actually a girl. The story evolves from the point where Subaru is forced to cure Jiro's phobia. Every time there is romantic moments between Jiro and Subaru there comes an awkward situation causing the comedy moments to appear. Most of the story genre is romance and some comedy here and then, but most of it's romance. The art is done really good especially how the characters respond to a statement and think wrong and when there is romantic moments. Sound is also done really well with how the characters try to express their emotions and the background sounds to go alo…

I've already watched some animes where we can find a girl dressing like a boy, as a disguise (Ikusu, from NakaImo!) or under a traditional father's command, but this was my first time seeing a main female character like that. Can't say it's something never saw before, obviously... Still, a great choice!
{STORY - 7/10}
It all begins with the relationship between Konoe Subaru and Kanade Suzutsuki. Konoe, belonging to a butlers lineage, that swore serving Kanade's one, promised being the one who'd call her as a master. However, the fact that she's the first girl born on her family and also the only sucessor would keep Konoe from fulfilling her biggest dream...
Under the deal of acting like a boy, without rasing any suspicion during High School, made from Konoe, a real butler. Everything do…

Comedy, Romance, School, Slice of Life, & Ecchi. This is my favorite anime out of all the anime that I have ever watched. I fell in love with it. Ever since I started watching this anime at ep 1, I couldn't stop! I never went to sleep I watched all the way from ep 1 to 6 from (unknown time) to 6 in the morning! It's because this anime is so beautiful and it has such a fantastic story. Every time I watched the anime, there was always something new and this anime always kept me happy. The more I watched the more I also fell in love with the opening theme song.
If you ever are feeling down, rewatch this anime and it'll bring back lots of memories from when you first watched it. You'll be happier/more joyful than you expect to be. If you want to or you are watching this anime, then be sure to…

What I expected from Mayo Chiki, and what I ended up getting were completely different. From the description, I was expecting a short 13 episode comedic anime surrounding a boy and the situations his gynophobia would get him into, and while that is slightly accurate, I did not at all expect to feel for the characters and enjoy the plot in the manner I did.
STORY/PLOT:
The plot was pretty episodic. Jirou and his gynophobia was also a pretty straight forward aspect of the story. The man is extremely sensitive, and even the slightest touch from a girl causes his blood pressure to soar. Now you can imagine poor Jirou's condition can be a rather frustrating inconvenience, and that led to some pretty funny and warming scenes. Keeping Subaru's secret was also a pretty amusing aspect of the plo…

Story & Characters (4/10)
In the world of anime, there are a variety of clichés and stereotypes that are repeated throughout. These can be for simple nostalgic imagery, or simply to pull in a certain type of crowd. However, what separates most series is the reliance on these things and the ability to also tell an interesting story, with great characters and lovely animation. Mayo Chiki, unfortunately, prefers to go with the grain.
Kinjiro Sakamachi, a high school student, suffers from gynophobia. To the point of where he'll get a nose bleed whenever he has physical contact with a female and can cause him to also pass out depending on the length of physical contact. During an incident in a restroom, he happens to find that the extremely popular and good looking bishie butler Subaru Konoe i…

If you're looking for a serious, dramatic romance anime then this is not the anime for you. If you are looking for a light-hearted romance/comedy then you've found the right anime!
Story 7/10
Mayo Chiki is based around your self-proclaimed "normal" high school student Sakamachi Kinjirou who lives a not so normal everyday life. His mother is a professional wrestler and sister following in her footsteps. This leads to Sakamachi becoming a punching bag for his mother and daughter making his body develop an illness which makes his nosebleed by the simple touch of a girl! At school he attends in the same class as high school beauty Suzutsuki Kanade who has a butler that is quite popular with the girls named Subaru Konoe. Although as our main protagonist soon finds out Konoe isn't exactly…

**contains spoiler!**
I enjoyed this anime, up until the end. As some of the other reviews say, as a rom com, it's lacking in the romance part. The entire anime, you can tell that the romance is there, but never really goes beyond a few awkward moments and a few kisses, the two never really get together. In the end, I longed for more, and to see where it would go with the two, but they left it up in the air, and with no sign of a second season to possibly wrap things up. As I said, I enjoyed the anime, but the end was very lacking and had me wanting more. Kinda like opening your favorite cereal in the morning, only to find that there isn't enough left for a nice bowl of morning cereal.

How could a gynophobe - a person with an irrational fear of women - ever come to fall for a girl?
How could an overprotective, anti-social (and cross-dressing) girl that has never in her life made one friend get intimate with a guy?
This is a Love Story about an unlikely couple - a Wavering Butler, and a 'Chicken' who finds love and comfort in one another. That is, after several embarrassing scenes, events, and misunderstandings.
I really liked the artwork, music, and voice-acting here - the artwork had a 'light' and 'happy' feel to it, and the music supplemented that atmosphere. The voice-acting was awesome. It was lively, and realistic. When a character cried - they cried. When someone laughs - they laugh. When someone blushes - they blush. When someone gets hit by a car - they scream…

Finishing this series, I'm disappointed, but the fact that I cared in the first place is a point in its favor.
It's difficult to really judge these harem fanservice shows. They give what they should give, but they rarely give me what I want, and maybe I'm expecting too much.
It's a perfectly enjoyable rom com. Everything is as it should be. The general characters archetypes, the twist within the premise, likeable enough characters, and enough humor to get by.
Yet, the "romance" part seems... lacking. This is more an issue with the genre as a whole then Mayo Chiki. Genuine romantic resolution always seems out of grasp. The characters that need to get together never do get together, and when the series is over, you begin to wonder what the point of it all was.

I really enjoyed this show seeing how I finished the last episode mere minutes ago and felt the "emptiness" inside of me. I usually only feel this emptiness when I finish a series and still possess the craving for more.
Story -The story is pretty basic. Typical slice of life comedy of a girl with a secret being found out by a guy who then becomes her object of affection.
Art - The art is pretty good. It has a mild, yet pleasing look. Not too vibrant, not too dull. I don't know how to explain it. The characters are pretty well drawn and enjoyable.
Sound - The OP is decent. It's not my favorite but it contains those "pick up the pace towards the end" kind of feelings. It starts off slow and mellow but after it repeats itself the pace really picks up. Gives viewers a good adrenaline rush.…

Fully Updated to Final Episode.
Going into Mayo Chiki! I thought I was gonna get a generic anime with some ecchi sprinkled on top. I regret that train of thought completely. Its not a generic anime with ecchi sprinkled on top, its an anime with AMAZINGLY placed ecchi and hilarity combined with a decent story and great characters!
Story:
The story is heading in a way that Jirou and Subaru's friendship keeps growing with each passing episode, with events bringing them closer together. It also looks like Subaru and Kanade's friendship will be slowly restored to what it once was before an incident in their past. It also keeps that comedic aspect with Kureha's love for Subaru and Kanade causing great misunderstandings that cause Jirou hell every episode. This never stopped even til the very…
