1:

This strongly reminds me of those manga and anime of the past in which the mc is thrown into a messy situation and has to make the best of it. In said stories the parents are usually trash at best and here it is not any different. The humor is absurd and utterly unrealistic but that means anything can happen. So yeah, I am in, a new entry like Shomin Sample or Hayate no Gotoku! is something I can appreciate.

Well if he is caught, I rather be caught by the dad than the maid, I will getting killed over getting it chopped off alive.

I was thrown off at first at the reveal, I thought the twist was the girl is a robot or AI.

Holy crap I missed a lot of anime in a day and half.

Anyhow, I would argue that the anime antecedents of this show are Hayate the Combat Butler and The Pet Girl of Sarakasou. I'm not sure how anime mate, but I am pretty sure that this anime is their love child.

But I liked both of those shows, so I'm willing to give this one a chance. I'm rooting for the poor shmuck of a lead. He's hard working, earnest, and sane for now. And I find the female lead amusing instead of annoying as the foil for all of those qualities.

Light and frothy, nothing wrong with that. I'll stick with this for a bit, but my instinct is it will be one of those shows I'll follow for a while and then suddenly go, "yep, got my fill" and leave. We'll see.
