The stern student council president of a newly co-ed school secretly works at a maid café, a secret threatened by the school's most popular boy.

📖 SYNOPSIS

As the first female student council president at a formerly all-boys school, Misaki Ayuzawa rules it with an iron fist. The guys call her 'Demon President' because she's constantly cracking down on them to make the place safer for the growing number of female students. She's tough, competent, and nobody messes with her. There's just one problem — she secretly works at a maid café after school to help support her family, and if anyone found out, her entire reputation would crumble. Enter Takumi Usui, the annoyingly perfect, impossibly popular guy at school, who wanders into her café one day and discovers everything. But instead of exposing her, he just... keeps showing up. And that's where the fun starts. The dynamic between these two is the entire engine of this 26-episode TV series. Misaki is proud, stubborn, and refuses to be vulnerable, while Usui is laid-back, teasing, and way more perceptive than she'd like. Their push-and-pull chemistry carries the show through its comedy beats and its genuinely sweet romantic moments. If you liked the class dynamics in Special A or the comedic energy of Ouran High School Host Club, this hits a similar nerve. It also has that same satisfying slow-burn tension you get from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, just with a warmer, more straightforward shoujo feel. J.C.Staff keeps the animation clean and the pacing steady. It's comfort food romance done right.

✨ MUST WATCH IF...

You love a strong-willed female lead who rules her school but hides a secret job
Slow-burn romance with teasing tension between two leads is your thing — 26 episodes of it
J.C.Staff's colorful shoujo art style and expressive chibi comedy moments appeal to you
You're in the mood for light episodic fun — no heavy drama, just daily comedic scenarios

❌ SKIP IF...

You want decisive romantic progress — Misaki and Usui's relationship barely inches forward across 26 episodes
Predictable shoujo tropes like misunderstandings and rival arcs feel stale to you by now
You need a well-developed supporting cast — side characters here stay pretty one-dimensional throughout
