Mayo Chiki, the story of Jirou Sakamichi, a gynephobic high school boy who one day finds that a butler of a very rich student in his school is in fact a girl not a guy.
Gynephobia: an abnormal fear of women
Our main character's are Jirou, and Subaru. Our more important side characters consist of Usami-san, Jirou's younger sister who's name I forget, Subaru's mistress whom he serves and the captain of the good subaru fan club.
The show starts with the appearance of Subaru and all his fan girls squealing as he does his butler duties. Then you're switched to Jirou's perspective where his friend is accusing him of being gay. This actually happens a lot in the anime, because Subaru is a girl and they do in some way, feel attracted to each other. Also he's burdened with the task of making sure no one finds out that Subaru is a girl.
That's basically the entire anime though, there's really not that much to the story line.
Jirou became gynephobic due to the fact that his father died when he was young, and his mother, who's a pro wrestler, and his sister treat him like a living punching bag.
The series was pretty cute, but, I feel it had more potential than what the producers gave it a chance to be. It honestly could have been better, but it was a cute enough story, and the comic relief was okay. They didn't go very far with the romance though. That made me kinda unsatisfied, but all's good. The world has enough anime for me to keep going for ages.
