Mayo Chiki!
まよチキ!Mayo Chiki!'s main protagonist, Sakamachi Kinjirou, has the worst case of gynophobia known to man. Just one touch from a girl and his nose bleeds almost uncontrollably. His condition is all thanks to his family of female wrestlers who "trained" him a bit too much as a child. Through this tough love, Kinjirou developed a body able to withstand hard blows... as well as an intense fear of the female race. Life with such a handicap is difficult in itself, but after one ominous visit to the school restroom, Kinjirou's semi-peaceful existence shifts into complete chaos. He discovers that the suave Subaru-sama, the bodyguard to the headmaster's daughter Kanade, is actually a girl. In exchange for his silence in the matter, Kanade promises to help him overcome his gynophobia. A cross dressing butler, a high-class twisted beauty, a BL writer wannabe, an aspiring pro-wrestler, and someone who lives with ghosts―these are the kind of girls that Sakamachi Kinjirou must deal with everyday. With such a unique cast of characters, high school life in Mayo Chiki! is sure to bring about a ton of wacky adventures.

A pretty awesome show for how short it was. I honestly would have gave it a 5 star if it was longer but it was still a good anime over all. It has a bunch of interesting characters and it's the first anime I've seen with this type of plot. This anime doesn't start slow at all and just gets right to the point, like literally in the first episode the main character is touching a girl's boob. But seriously, this was a pretty amazing anime for how short it was. You should definitely give it a watch if you enjoy romance, school and comedy anime

My favorite. This anime is the greatest I've ever seen.
Notwithstanding characters a little bit special, the story is just a masterpiece, which gives you great feelings as well as the necessity to finish this.
The only "bad point" is that the anime don't finish like the manga : you need to read one scan to accomplish this masterpiece, but even without this, you know it : yep, you know the end, obviously. ;)

So, summery time:
Mayo Chiki! is about Sakamachi Kinjirou, a guy with serious gynophobia (fear if females). This is primarily due to his mother and sister treating him as a punching bag/sparing partner. It is so bad that he gets a nose bleed even if he simply touches a girl. To make matters worse, the Principle's devious daughter, Kanade, discovers his name has "Chi-Kin" in it and now others refer to him as such. To top it off Kinjirou makes a huge discover that Kanade's butler, Subaru, is a girl, posing as a boy for various family reasons. Dear Chi-Kin must keep her secret while Kanade tries to cure him. Then, to add more fuel to the fire, Usami, Nakuru and his own sister enter the picture with their own set of quarks. Let the madness commence.
*Yes there is nudity in this anime*
So this is one of my first RomCom anime so I feel pretty lucky. This, while as far as Harems and Ecchi, it's nothing new.
However, the execution of the series is where this anime won me over. Everything meshed rather perfectly. At least in my mind anyway. I will say I haven't finished the light novel yet so I can't review the whole story.
However, as far as the anime is concerned. I know there's that 3 episode rule, this show doesn't need it. By the third episode I was pretty hooked.
The story is overall solid with little to know guessing except for the obvious when it comes to harems. Except for the fact that you kind of know how the story is going to go as it progresses more. While they try to make you guess, i think it gets pretty obvious. Neither here nor there, the show will make you laugh almost every episode and you might even tear up from time to time when it gets heavy and stuffs. Hell, the English voice acting was pretty solid too and that doesn't always happen (or so I hear). This show might never get a Second Season because it didn't get the ratings it needed to survive. Polls were drawn and it was always just shy of the mark to have it renewed. While there is always a possibility, I would suggest the light novel to finish it off if you feel the need to see what happens.
The animation is solid. While there are times of exaggeration. It makes for classic comedy.
When it comes to the music The opening songs and end credits songs are the most if not the only memorable parts when it comes to sounds. That's what initially comes to mind. Not to say the audio was bad but it wasn't anything grandiose.
The characters are, while not anything super unique other than the male and female leads, they are very distinct. The personalities only align when it comes to Chi-Kin.
I very much enjoyed this anime through and through. Subaru and Usami are friggin' adorable in their own ways. All the girls have their unique charms that will sway you as they may. I had to hold myself back from watching this in one go.
This is a great RomCom even if there is a Harem element added I consider it more RomCom than anything else.
I'm still rather new to reviewing so feel free to let me know of your opinions as well. Hope you enjoy this show as much as I did.

Was not very good.Story about the being allergic to girls was ripped off from Girls Bravo.Animation was average at best.Music was okay and I liked the opening probably more than i should have.The character's had no depth to them and i found myself disliking many of them.Although the main male character was slightly more likable than other main harem character's mostly because he actually had an excuse to be afraid of women unlike other guy's in harems.Though I did enjoy the beginning it did boil down to frankly shit ending.I would say FUCK IT! It's not worth your time to watch.

If you don't like brief reviews and you want a detailed review, don't bother reading this review.
Story- The plot is about the main female heroine as a cross-dressing butler and a gynophobia but that's just it . It rarely goes anything more than that and revolves most around episodic day-to-day problems.
Animation- The animation is smooth with a few stops and stills. Although, nothing spectacular.
Sound- No memorable soundtrack, but still decent.
Character- There is a slight character development between Sakamachi Kinjirou and Subaru Konoe, but no other character ever gets the spotlight.
Overall, if you enjoy slice of life comedy romance with a light tone to it, you might actually enjoy this, but to anyone else trying to find deep emotional thrilling story then this anime is not for you.

Story - This anime revolves around the Satou and 2 other girls. The anime was good, but the story was not that good, the only bad side with the story is, it has no story! It has not an plot that it aims, just random anime that does random things. Each episode is binded with together but it has nothing further to go. Story gets firstly somehow like it has an plot to follow, but later on you will get what i mean.
Animation - The animation is not bad, it's actually good. The year and if you watch in it's "TRUE" Quality, then it's really amazing anime. The characters are drawn well good, the details of the characters are very good even small details are well drawn but ofcourse, nothing is PERFECT that has no any small misstakes. The background animation that is out of characters is not that bad, i liked it and is well drawn. If you pause the video and try to find an misstake so can you ofcourse find misstakes but watching the anime by itself without pausing so will it get like it's really good drawn, like i said, nothing is perfect!
Sound - The sound in this anime was pretty boring and bad in my opinion, but this depends on what kind of music genre you like to listen, for me, i don't really remember the soundtracks in the anime, but im sure it was kinda boring. You might like it way more than me, this depends on what kind of music you like.
Character - The personality of characters are very good, there are a lot kind of characters. The anime does aim more onto Main character rather than the other characters in the anime, characters are getting introduced later on, not like you get know them in 1 episode, just with time. A lot of characters are "ecchi" loving, so if you like ecchi a bit in a anime, then you may like it even more! The ecchi is soft, with soft it's not like it has less ecchi, but it has less "dirty" stuffs going on. However, Kanade in this anime is the "Dirtiest" girl, you will get it why, and if u like ecchi, you will LOVE her! like ME ^_^
Enjoyment - I enjoyed this anime a lot, there were a lot of fun moments, a lot of ecchi scenes pervertnes, nosebleeds (yup nosebleeds, MASSIVE nosebleedings) and a lot of twists. The Enjoyment was good, but somehow, the ratings got an "BIG~" movements by my rate scale. Its because, the ending didn't end like i was expecting. It ended totally wrong, if you don't like bad ending anime that will get you shocked, then don't watch it. But it was worth to watch even if it had totally worthless ending.
Overall - Well, if we don't count the "bad ending" that i think it was horrible ending, then i enjoyed very much! It could get way higher rating scale if the ending wasn't like this.
- Story: 6/10
- Animation: 8/10
- Sound: 6/10
- Character: 8/10
- Enjoyment: 9/10
- Overall: 10/10

Out of all the anime I know, around 100, most being Slice of life, *some ettchi ;x* Mayo Chiki is by far (in my opinion) the best anime I know.
Yes, I'm saying it beats great anime like Tora Dora
Teggen toppa gurren lagan
Clannad; Afterstory
ookami-san
SAO
And more.

If you're looking for a serious, dramatic romance anime then this is not the anime for you. If you are looking for a light-hearted romance/comedy then you've found the right anime! Story 7/10Mayo Chiki is based around your self-proclaimed "normal" high school student Sakamachi Kinjirou who lives a not so normal everyday life. His mother is a professional wrestler and sister following in her footsteps. This leads to Sakamachi becoming a punching bag for his mother and daughter making his body develop an illness which makes his nosebleed by the simple touch of a girl! At school he attends in the same class as high school beauty Suzutsuki Kanade who has a butler that is quite popular with the girls named Subaru Konoe. Although as our main protagonist soon finds out Konoe isn't exactly everything he appears to be! Sakamachi accidentally discovers that Konoe is actually a girl and our adventure begins! The story isn't anything special but it does enough to keep your attention. It seems to have taken the road of many generic romance/comedy cross-dressing animes out there and only tries a bit to make itself different. It's typically about a girl cross-dressing as a butler attending high school and must keep her true gender a secret. Quite typical among many animes of this genre such as Maria Holic!Art 8/10The art is pretty well-done and nice to look at. From the character designs, to the environments and animations it all blends in well together. Sound 8/10The sound was another great aspect. Besides the opening and ending the BGM fit very nicely and of course the soundtracks went according to the mood and atmosphere to give it a more emotional feel. The voice actors did a splendid job acting out the emotions from anger, cleverness, sadness, happy and so on very well. Especially during tsundere moments where they would sound angry and unpleasant one minute and sweet and gentle the next.Characters 7/10I'm not going to get specific with each character individually but I will give you the basic idea behind them all. The characters were a bit generic such as our main protagonist Kinijirou Sakamachi, being the guy completely ignorant not knowing when a girl likes him even when it is completely obvious to those around him and the audience. Typical nice guy who tries to be helpful to everyone; however with a little fight in him when picked on by the girls. Then we have our girls who are border-line generic as well. Our typical tsundere Usami, clever-witty girl Kanade, loving sister Kureha and the main female protagonist who is a mix of a little bit of everything Konoe. I think you'll find many characters like these if you've watched several romance animes however they do present them quite nicely and do show some progression in their character as the show goes on so it gets a point for that.Enjoyment 8/10Well, even though the story isn't all that fantastic I did enjoy it a lot. Since it is a romance/comedy it has its funny moments, and I must say I was cracking up throughout the whole show. Its story and simple romance is made up for in its comedy if not the comedy actually adds to the story. During the early episodes I was laughing up a storm and when I had attempted to watch this to pass the time at my college I had to shut it off before I started cracking up in class. The comedy with the added romance just made me burn through this show in one sitting, drawing me in to see how the story would all play out while breezing through the episodes simply because I was just laughing so much or had to see what happened next.Overall 7/10Mayo Chiki! is your typical romance/comedy cross-dresser anime. The story is decent and easy to figure out. Even though it's a bit generic it does have its differences and its comedy makes up a bit for what it lacks. If you are searching for a romance/comedy anime that's a bit more heavy on the comedy, then this anime may be for you! It's quite an enjoyable watch and even though it doesn't get an A grade in the romance department it does just enough to satisfy the viewer who's hungry for romance while they are getting their fill on laughs as well.They don't exactly say who our main character ends up with but it makes it quite clear in episode 12.Took awhile to decide between a 7 or 8 but in the end it gets a 7/10 due to it following a bit of a generic story and being a little to light on the romance then it should have been. Overall I did enjoy this and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for an anime of its genre.
