Description
Our heroine, Ruu, is having a hard time. Her mother died when she was little, and her father, with whom she had been living, has disappeared without a trace after getting into debt. Ruu is on her own.
To make ends meet, she takes a job as a live-in maid for a very wealthy household. To Ruu's surprise, the house she ends up working at is the home of three cute brothers, and she already knows one of them! They agree to let Ruu work there because they are often alone and they could use the help. Ruu moves in and works hard as a maid, and they all become very close. But things aren't always smooth sailing. Ruu has a lot of pressure on her because of her father's debts, and three very cute guys to deal with!

thanks for the good time! by angelfire_aja on November 1st, 2009, 1:53am

so much as to having a good time...! i'll have to admit it gave a really similar feel to fruits basket, really. but what makes it more funny is the perverted idiot character of the uhh... can't remember the name pretty well..ahahaha

one guy i won't ever forget is yuzuki. he's just a well-blended person of opposites. you see, a rude guy from what he looks but superiorly feminine and really nice..in a rude way, too. i was thinking how the mangaka was able to choose the feminine features as a complement to his traits... phew!! pretty hard to blend them but the mangaka did well!

Grrness by Gingeh on April 25th, 2009, 9:39am

Okay, I really, really liked this manga - it made me laugh a lot! But the ending just kind of...killed it for me.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
There was no real relationship developed, although Ruu and Yuzuki were kind of hinted at, and her father never paid off his debt. Actually, the second-to-last chapter felt like more of an ending then the actual final chapter did.


I just felt that this manga had so much potential, and then the mangaka just...dropped it. The characters never got fully developed, the plot never really ended, and so on. This could have been really great, but eight chapters just wasn't enough, especially with the 'ending' given.

But, if you don't mind dealing with that, I'd reccomend this highly because it is extremely funny, good for an hour or two of just laughing ;P

Dakedo Happy Paradise by Emiri-sama on October 4th, 2008, 7:30pm

The story and characters reminded me of Fruits Basket, and the ending left the relationships pretty open...

That being said, the art was really pretty, and there was some character growth/development. A nice read if you want something short and light.

Wow by Aarana on June 29th, 2008, 8:56pm

Can that be really concidered a complete series?

It almost seemed like it could have gone on longer, but the mangaka just didn't feel like finishing it. There was no real conflict, and definitely no real resolution. Only shallow relationships were formed, and while it had great potential as a series, it lacked for content.

honestly by blueseeker on January 27th, 2008, 9:15am

I really was not expecting much with this one but it was hillarious i loved the art and the story was fun, sort of like fruits basket without the supernatural and so much drama. The only downside was that it was not longer and no actual relationship was established but oh well we cannot get everything.

Great manga from the author of glittering xmas by Conquestor on October 23rd, 2007, 8:39am

Once again this author puts out a great shoujo, that is only hindered by lack of a complete ending.

Great characters, drawing, story, plot, just about everything I can think of. However, the ending is more like a beginning.

um...what? by otaku_dreamz on October 14th, 2007, 1:50am

I was all for it...but can that really be considered an ending? The story is so great, but the characters never fully developed. I mean they went through the trouble of beautiful artwork and everything...all to be left with the crappiest ending ever. It's somewhat like a dangling modifier in a sentence; it's there and makes you question why.

It's a great story, but it's about an 8 because the ending was so poor ^.^

great by tenshi on August 7th, 2006, 4:26pm

This is definately a great manga with interesting plot and character development. This shoujo lacks originality and it is somewhat similar to other mangas like Hana-Kimi and The Wallflower. Nevertheless, this is one of the better shoujo mangas available.
