Money running out fast, home no longer an option, and nowhere to go, the only job available to the Sawatari sisters is working as live-in maids for a 14-year-old millionaire with way too much house and even more attitude. That's the setup for He is My Master, a 12-episode comedy from 2005 that leans hard into its ridiculous premise. Izumi and Mitsuki Sawatari figure cleaning a mansion beats going back to their parents, until they meet Yoshitaka Nakabayashi, their new employer, who immediately insists on being called 'Master' and treats maid uniforms as his personal art project. The whole show lives in that dynamic: two sisters trying to hold onto their dignity while their boss finds new ways to be insufferable, and somehow the result is more funny than frustrating. The tone is light and comedic throughout, with recurring gags and a cast of eccentrics who keep the energy moving. It's worth noting that Gainax and Shaft co-produced this, which is an unusual pairing that gives it a slightly distinct visual personality compared to standard mid-2000s fare. If you enjoyed the chaotic maid-employer humor in Kamen no Maid Guy, or the mansion comedy antics of Hayate no Gotoku, this covers similar ground with its own brand of absurdity. The ecchi elements are present but the show's main currency is comedic timing rather than anything serious. A decent watch if you want something low-stakes and genuinely amusing from that era.
Debt-ridden Izumi, initially the 'normal' one, becomes Yoshitaka's violently rebellious and sexually harassed maid.

Izumi's younger sister, Mitsuki, manages Izumi's career as a net idol, becoming wealthy from her success, and adores her 'Master', Yoshitaka.

Lebret Gwen
Anna, a maid deeply in love with Izumi, is Yoshitaka's Yuri-supplying, cooking-challenged housemate.

This season covers Chapters 1-36 of the manga. Continue reading from Chapter 1.
kaelmaomao★★★★☆EP 12I didn't quite get the point of the ending. It was confusing but still funny. Mitsuki is really underrated the whole series. You can't really predict her. It was a funny episode but nothing really special considering it's the last episode. I wish the whole paper was translated.
kaelmaomao★★★☆☆EP 11I have mixed feelings in this episode. Wdym they are forcing some plot now? XD. Izumi defending Yoshitaka was not on my expectations. I would have rather seen them make up in a funny way. It's a bit late to mix things up now. Anyways, I would just have to see the last episode.
kaelmaomao★★★☆☆EP 10That was quite an interesting development, hmm. Isn't a bit late to introduce a new character at this point? It was a decent episode with usual humor and an unexpected bit of drama. I wonder what they will give us in the remaining episodes.
kaelmaomao★★★★☆EP 9Might be the funniest episode so far but it's still debatable. I mean for me it was really funny. I was not expecting that kind of ending and I also have a different idea of an Idol in my mind XD. They really got wilder in this episode and I'll leave it to your imaginations hehe.
ps_srikanth★★★★★EP 1A good episode. It is emotional as well as humourous. The loneliness even you have everything is hard to imagine.
rhettz★★★☆☆Animekaelmaomao★★★★☆EP 6The outfits are really cute and great at this episode. I can't help but give props to Yoshitaka and his skills to make clothes XD. He is driven by his perverted side but it's actually amazing. It was a fun festival episode.
kaelmaomao★★★☆☆EP 8Karin is really just adorable. I don't hate Yoshitaka that much but I am really getting bored at this show. I'm still gonna watch the rest hoping that there would be a big plot twist or some kind of unique storytelling aside from repetitive kind of comedy.
kaelmaomao★★★★☆EP 7Well, it was your usual funny episode with their antics. I do think it's getting repetitive at this point. I wonder if Izumi gets a huge character development but I would have really like her to see as an idol. Pochi is adorable as usual but sometimes just really extra.
kaelmaomao★★★☆☆EP 5I'm kinda weirded out at Izumi and Mitsuki's dad. I don't know but he seems like a pervert. Is it just me or other viewers feel the same? Their mother is really funny, though. It was a fun episode but I think it's getting the same vibes.
hanazawa★★★★☆EP 12Ini adalah episode yg paling ada isi dan plot sekaligus finale episode yg menarik. Bagaimana cara izumi dkk membantu Yoshitaka dalam mendapatkan kembali hak dan milik nya. Hubungan pertemanan ini cukup bikin episode ini terbaik dari seluruh episode yg ada di series ini
hanazawa★★★★☆EP 11Akhirnya Izumi dan mitsuki bisa focus untuk melanjutkan karier mereka dan akhirnya MC menunjukkan perubahan nya yg signifikan. Di akhir scene terdapat momen unexpected yg akan menjadi klimaks cerita di series ini
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 10Episode yg cukup membingungkan dan membosankan ya karena meskipun banyak nya variasi kompetensi dan di akhir scene saya cukup senang akhirnya sang MC gajelas itu mendapat batu nya
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 9Latar tempat kali ini berada di resort dan dimana banyak kejadi lucu dan absurd terjadi disini ya meskipun saya masih gatau dan ngerti apa tujuan nya para MC dan lain lain nya
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 8Akhirnya Izumi mendapatkan cuti setelah mengalami kerjaan yg melelahkan dan bikin ribet. Ya meskipun semua nya pergi Izumi tetap direpotkan oleh kedatangan adik nya LOL. Banyak scene komedi yg cukup menghibur disini
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 7Disini izumi mendapatkan tawaran yg menggiurkan untuk segera melunasi utangnya dan saya cukup setuju dengan tawaran itu daripada tinggal bersama MC yg tidak jelas tersebut
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 6Wahhh saya melihat mitsuki saat tampil di festival cukup keren ya dan suasana di sana juga menyenangkan. Tapi ya scene ecchi nya cukup mengganggu bukan karena ada tetapi terlalu berlebihan
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 5Kemunculan keluarga mitsuki dan izumi menambah warna baru dalam cerita ini ya meskipun saya kesal dengan sifat MC nya yg sangat keras kepala dan berisik
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 4Cukup pusing ya melihat terlalu banyak scene yg padat sehingga sulit mencerna cerita nya ditambah dengan scene ecchi yg terlalu masif
hanazawa★★★☆☆EP 3Ecchi nya terlalu keras dan yah ini underage ya saya juga bingung cerita ini bagus nya dimana tetapi setidaknya komedi nya sedikit membantu dan kehidupan di sekolah nya juga membawa warna
