Yuzuko’s a positive, always charming girl with the horrible habit of verbal diarrhea. Just when she’s done it again and insults someone, she’s saved by a drop dead gorgeous maid from a maid cafe. Little does she know (though the readers are more clued in than this poor girl) that the maid is none other than the high school hottie Itsuki - who’s only doing it as the #1 most popular maid at his father’s Maid & Butler cafe. It’s really a story about love and some pretty good maid costumes. *Notes: \- Includes the one-shot "Hanabi no Owaru Koro (花火の終わる頃(ころ), When the Fireworks End)". \- Includes the one-shot "Boku no Hysterical Girl (僕のヒステリックガール, My Hysterical Girl)".*
