Uchi no Maid ga Class no Suki na Ko ni Niteiru

For the heir to the illustrious Kujo household, Eiga, life has always followed a predictable path—until now. His carefully ordered world is thrown into disarray by a single, overwhelming emotion: first love. The object of his quiet fixation is Himeka, a classmate who seems to exist in a different orbit entirely. Yet, despite his formidable status, Eiga is utterly defenseless against the nervous flutter she inspires. Every attempt to bridge the distance between them dissolves into awkward hesitation, leaving him trapped between his deepening feelings and a crippling lack of romantic experience. Desperate for a breakthrough, Eiga makes an unexpected choice. He turns to Maria, a maid of the same age who serves his family with unwavering competence. Though their worlds rarely intersect beyond formal duties, he sees in her a steadiness and clarity he himself cannot muster. But baring his heart to a household employee is a precarious gamble, and Maria’s reaction to his clumsy plea for guidance is anything but predictable. As the young heir entrusts his secret to the one person who knows the real him, an unlikely partnership takes shape—one that promises to complicate the already delicate balance between duty, social station, and the chaotic, consuming pursuit of love.
