Kaichou wa Maid-Sama

Kaichou wa Maid-Sama is the first "fujoshi" show I've watched this season. Basic premise is that the main character is the student council president (seito kaichou, or kaichou) at a mostly all-boy school (something like 80% male) and works part-time as a waitress in a maid cafe because her father left her family with a ton of debt. Of course, being overworked and a helpless girl, the first boy that finds out about this is of course the hottest guy at her school, and is worried about her.

Do I need to continue? Can we all see where this is going? I thought as much. Honestly, this has to be one of the most generic shows I've ever seen. At first the main character is all panicky about being found out, but then she seems to be starting to like the guy. Like I said, fujoshi show. Am I going to watch it? Oh, probably.

Fujoshi is pretty much the female equivalent for the word otaku, by the way, despite otaku being a generally gender nonspecific term. It translates to "rotten girl", but like the word otaku, it's mostly used to describe anyone that is very interested in anime/manga/games, and in the case of fujoshi, yaoi.
