Hanaukyo Maid Team Volume 1: Welcome To Hanaukyo!
Manga Review
Tarou Hanaukyo is a school student who finds that his life has changed more than he expected after his mother passes away. Following her final wish, he journeys to Tokyo to live with his grandfather, but he gets the biggest surprise when he discovers that his grandfather's home is a huge mansion filled with hundreds of beautiful maids ready to "serve" him.The all-female staff of the mansion is dedicated to the care, well-being, and happiness of the remaining Hanaukyo family. They're also armed to the teeth, ready to battle other affluent families like the Jihoh clan.
In the first issue, our young protagonist is about to be overwhelmed when gentle Mariel, the head of the Hanaukyo Maid Team, arrives to take control of the over zealous horde and welcome Tarou to his new home. However, furious action as well as lots of bouncy fun are about to take place. The manga is enjoyable (particularly if you're a post-puberty male) filled with zany hysterics and titillating teen action.

Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite
Anime DVD Review
The all-female staff of the mansion is dedicated to the care, well-being, and happiness of the affluent Hanaukyo family.
They're also armed to the teeth, ready to battle other affluent families like the Jihoh clan. Right now their charge is Taro Hanaukyo. He's a fourteen year old boy who didn't even know about all this until recently. He moved into the mansion only to fulfill his mother's last wish. He thought he was going to meet his grandfather there. So far, his grandfather hasn't shown up. Taro is a shy, self-effacing lad. He's not used to all this attention. He doesn't fully comprehend all the politics he's gotten himself into. And all these pretty girls are making him nervous.
Based on a popular manga, the show is zany fun and, like the Hanakuyo Maid Team itself, is eager to please. Strap yourself in for a bouncy ride.
