Top 10 Best Maid Anime Series You May Want to Check Out

6. Mahoromatic

You assume maids are going to be human, right? Well, not always. Sometimes they’re alien-fighting androids, like in Mahoromatic.

Mahoro is the titular character here, a hyper-powerful battle android who has decided to move away from the alien fighting life in an attempt to conserve what little (battery) life she has left.

She decides to move in with Suguru Misato, a messy middle school kid whose parents have passed away, and take care of him as his maid. For reasons.

5. They Are My Noble Masters, Kimiaru

The main character of They Are My Noble Masters, Kimiaru is Ren Uesugi, who works as a butler for the rich and spoiled Kuonji family.

But this isn’t so much about him as it is the growing harem around him, which includes all three Kuonji sisters, their other maids, their friends, and of course his little sister.

Not everybody in the show is in a maid costume all the time, but there are certainly enough to go around.

4. Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru

Another show with the premise that a girl has to work at a maid cafe to pay a debt. Apparently maid cafes pay big bucks in Japan.

This one takes a more slice-of-life approach though, with mystery-loving protagonist Hotori Arashiyama having no idea how to do her job. That’s okay, because her best friend is an enthusiast who will show her the ropes, while multiple love polygons unfold.

3. Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma

If you’d ever wondered about what the cross-section of anime and a Jane Austen novel might look like, it might be this.

Emma is a maid in Victorian England who serves a wealthy family. She finds herself attracted to the family’s eldest son, William. He reciprocates her affection.

That would be fine, but 19th-century England isn’t exactly okay with nobles and servants getting married. So there is naturally some familial and societal pushback on their budding relationship.

Being as this is the only known anime that actually uses the Victorian maid outfit in a Victorian setting, you might wonder if this even counts as real anime at all. But nah, it totally does. It comes via Studio Pierrot, which also produces Naruto, Bleach, and Toyko Ghoul.

2. Hayate the Combat Butler

Hayate, the title character, is a butler, not a maid. But where there’s one, there usually is the other, and Hayate the Combat Butler is no exception.

Despite the “combat” part of the title, this is a fairly laid-back series, with as much focus on comedy and shounen-style harem romance as the action parts.

1. Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!

I mean, what else could have led the list? By far the most popular and highest-quality show to heavily feature maid characters, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama is also one of the few shoujo series to use the maid angle.

Misaki Ayuzawa is actually very good at her job at the maid cafe. She has some dedicated fans and is pretty competent in terms of serving and performing. And she needs the job to pay her tuition, because her family is poor.

Problem is, she’s also the strict disciplinarian student council president at her high school, which explicitly forbids any part-time work, especially something as questionable as a maid cafe.

So when Takumi Usui drops in and recognizes her, she’s obviously a bit concerned for her reputation. But he takes the opportunity to get closer to her by promising to keep her secret.
