Seitokai no Ichizon 11

Cover of Seitokai no Ichizon light novel 1

I feel a bit bad I only started to notice Seitokai no Ichizon when the 5th or so episode came out. And because that was when I was the most busy, I never wrote any posts. Shame on me!

Seitokai no Ichizon is fun. It has likeable characters, fun jokes, great parodies, and good character interaction. The serious segments in the end of each episode are a reflective and serene complement to the enjoying spirit of the show. It's a light-hearted anime with good writing to watch when you're feeling down and make you think a bit about your life. And it doesn't try to be anything else than that. Seitokai no Ichizon: Hekiyou Gakuen Seitokai Gijiroku (long title there!) is truly an undervalued jewel. Yet another anime whose original media (light novel) is added to my must buy list. =)

This episode in particular had a longer and more touching serious ending that the others up till now. It did its purpose of showing that, beneath the harem jokes, parodies, teasing, and apparent deslike of Sugisaki, the girls of the student council really appreciate the work he does every day so they can just enjoy a happy conversation, and like him.

P.S: Ok, since Mafuyu was the first to confess to him, I guess he must've activated the wrong flag! xD No more harem for you, you lucky bastard!

Kaichou wa Maid-sama chapter 41

Kaichou Wa Maid-sama! is currently one of the most funny shoujo mangas ongoing, with a promissing and dynamic characters and plot.

Our protagonist, Ayuzawa Misaki, hates guys. The high school where she goes to recently became co-ed, with girls only consisting a minory of the population and the school's rules being constantly broken by the boys. She then takes matters into her own hands, and becomes the school's first female student council president. She reprimands the boys and tries to make the school better for girls becoming known as the "demon president". She seems to have no weaknesses or anything that can be used against her. There's just the fact that she works at a maid café!

Things start going badly for her when three delinquent boys of her school discover her part-time job and plan to blackmail her. Fortunetly, she is saved by the school's heart-breaker, Usui Takumi. While she believes he'll also just blackmail her, he keeps quiet about her secret and instead becomes a regular costumer at the café, and starts to be constantly called "perverted alien stalker" by Misaki. The manga then follows the development of their unique relationship, as Usui rescues and helps Misaki with her problems on occasion and she becomes less hateful of him and men in general. Misaki eventually realizes her feelings for him and they start dating.

The series has a vast cast of characters, ranging from the insecure student council vice president Yukimura, to the "Three idiots", also Misaki's greatest fans at the café despite trying to blackmail her before.
Before commenting on the chapter itself, there is one piece of information that I would like to share.






A tv anime for Kaichou wa Maid-sama has been decided! Finally we get to see Misaki and Usui's antics in movement! I hope they keep the Drama CD's voice actors. Well, they could change Usui's, but I'll be happy with those same voice actors. On to the chapter.

Misaki-chan is in a rush, now isn't she? I wonder why....

A date with Usui, of course. What's more surprising that her being late is how cutely dressed she is.

Moe!!! And it's a KO for Ayuzawa Misaki, instantly beating Usui Takumi's mind senseless with her cute appearance and atitudes. Well, leaving the Misaki-blushing sequence aside, they are going on a date for her birthday because she agreeded letting him be with her the whole day because she did not give him anything for his birthday. And here we are.

And his present for her is a camera, which he will use to record her expressions along the day and then give it to her. Of course, Misaki opposes saying that it's too pricey of a gift and provoking Usui into saying he'll throw it away if she doesn't accept it, for he bought it "only for her". Followed by more blushing.

Happy Misaki, eating Misaki, soffucated Misaki, surprised Misaki, unconfortable Misaki... Usui seems to be enjoying this. =)



Something had to come along and spoil their fun. -_-

What the hell is the foxy vice-president from Miyabigaoka academy doing here? He's scheming something.... leaving him for now, the rest of the date goes fairly well, we see Usui give the puppy look at Misaki again (it never fails), and both of them playing around like the superhumans they are. But, she isn't very happy she the only one who's pictures are being taken. So guess what Usui does.






Bad move, Misaki-chan. Forceful Usui and embarassed Misaki make the best picture. They're so cute like that. :3




And to finish the day wonderfully, birthday cake (made by himself) in Usui's apartment and...




Happy 17th birthday, Ayuzawa Misaki!



A final birthday picture for her. Usui is very sweet to her, despite his teasing exterior. Of course, not everything is roses.


It bugs the hell out of me that the only thing we know about these two's evil (yes, it's evil, they are evil and I can feel it's evil) plotting is that it's going to be bad for our heroine.



My overall thoughts: This chapter was great! It was pure romance, and some very funny parts aswell. They were much more open to each other than in the previous chapters, and the art is still as good as ever. I can only hope whatever the president and vice-president of Miyabigaoka student council are planning does not affect Misaki and Usui's relationship... especially considering we saw Usui with them a few chapters ago.
