So what if the sorry feels cliched and overused? It is cliched and overused, but it makes you go, "Awwww..." and even if nothing happens there's something about it that wants you to read the next chapter...and the next...and the next. In short, Shitsuji is a good cliche manga that has light drama, and I just love guys that get jealous with the girl so I go KYAAAAA!!!!

I really love this series..
It has a very interesting concept!!
I really like the character of Hakuou...
I think people who will enjoy this manga is people who is looking for cute and not a very serious manga..
I do recommend this manga..
hopefully.. Hakuou and Himura will get together!!

OMG the Butlers are so HOT my favorite is Touke Iori he is just adorable . It's an interesting story but the story has been in many other mangas but if you like the story cinderella then her you go this manga is pretty much similiar but with different situations, instead of a prince its butler and he is a famous because of his family, and a fallen rich girl. And then you all know they will start to be together then fall in love then face many hardships but its interesting. It is also kinda like kitchen princess i have the whole collect of kitchen princess not a bad manga if you liked this one too

After reading so many shoujos, i found this one really refreshing. The two main characters are friends, maybe a bit more, but the way the story is portrayed, it just feels so.. light. There's no drama (yay) between the two of them, tho i expect there might be some in the future developements.

I really love the art, i'd already read Meine liebe before. Meine Liebe had been so hard and confusing to read, i had some doubts wheter to start reading this one or not; but I'm glad I did, it really gives off a completely different feeling ^^.

This is very cute.This manga is very similar to many shoujo stereotypes, so only read this if you want to indulge in cliche. The best part is that this manga is cute cliche and not annoying cliche.

I love this manga<3
Regardless of what people say, o.O it's not cliche at all!
At least, I don't think so. This character of the not so smart but highly couragous girl and a tsundere guy is what makes seem like that. But over all, I've never read anything about a school of butlers and ladies o_o. Seriously.

ANYWAY:
GREAT ART. I'm picky about art, but I still love this<3 It's a great style
GREAT CHARACTERS. - I LOVE THEM ALLL. They have nice personalities and are realistic to me ^^ A bit dramatic, but EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is dramatic in shoujos. O_o so really, they are very realistic.
GREAT PLOT LINEEE- Yay! I love school mangas , and I love historical-ish stuff. This isn't historical in anyway besides the ladies and butlers, bu that's why I love It D

Just read it.
You won't regret it C:!!

I'm rereading this a 2nd time! HUZZAH!

First off... THE ART. THE ART IS SUPER HOLY LIKE I MEAN IT'S SO PRETTY HOW IS IT THAT IZAWA REI HAS NOT HAD AN ARTBOOK RELEASED AS OF TODAY!? Well, in that one sentence, I bet you can see how much I love the art. And how I'm a fan of Izawa Rei lol

Next, the story isn't too dramatic. It's a lighthearted read, and it's cute, and all the characters are so lovable. You can't hate Ryou, or Hakuou, or even that grumpy senpai of Hakuou's (cause he's a bishie lol). As far as I've read, there hasn't been that much drama except the backstory for Hakuou (I have yet to look for raws and read them).

The comedy is pretty funny too. And Hakuou, omg, that epitome of butler perfection.

My review really isn't that helpful, but that's because I know most of the readers for this manga LOVE this manga. I mean, I don't see why anybody should hate it. That, and I don't see anything wrong with this manga. It all works together and it makes you happy and hope you have your own Hakuou serving you lol

I'm giving this a 5, it's no the worst I've ever read, but it isn't the best either. As someone below has mention about the series being cliche and overused and still believing it has some potential and interest for readers...well, I'm one of those readers who isn't glossed over by the cliches in this story. I'm not a great shoujo reader myself, I lean more towards Josei, BUT, it's something anyone (even like me) can sit down and read, no matter how overused the plot is here, even if I'm not so fond of the art itself.

I don't HATE this series, I kind of enjoy it but one thing that always bugs me is the main girl.
.... Her personality seems kind of.. fake? A bit much? I don't know. She's a little to bubbly and happy for me to be even CLOSE to realistic. It's a bit annoying I guess.

This manga contains a lot of stereotypical elements: a kind "commoner" female lead, a school for the rich, beautiful "butlers" (valets, really, but Japanese terminology doesn't have an equivalent), and an elite of elite male lead. However, thanks to the absence of some of the common shoujo stereotypes (e.g. a female lead who is primarily looking for love, a constant showing-off, the primary motive for action being love, etc.), it avoids annoying quite early on. Both characters have their own goals and motives which are separate from each other, nor is the whole manga falling in love and getting together. In fact, it even manages to avoid "why is that amazing person in love with that sort of person." As the manga develops, the characters are flushed out and quickly move away from the generic they never fully fit into. If you can wade through the first few (say five or so) chapters, you will be rewarded with a funny and light read. The art is nice and fitting, and the pace is perfect for a slow romance of this kind.
