会長はメイド様! [Kaichou wa Maid Sama!] #16

by Hiro Fujiwara

Gracias a su gran responsabilidad y su magnífica gestión del consejo de estudiantes, Misaki ha ganado polémica reputación entre los alumnos del centro, mientras que las alumnas y los profesores la ven como un soplo de aire fresco en en el que solía ser un lugar en el que los alumnos campaban a sus anchas. Sin embargo, a pesar de su dura apariencia, lo que nadie sabe es que Misaki trabaja en un maid café para ayudar económicamente a su familia. ¿Nadie? Bueno, no. Resulta que, un día, Takumi Usui, un chico muy popular entre los alumnos del Seika High, descubre el secretito de la presidenta del consejo estudiantil de la escuela. A partir de aquí vemos que Takumi y Misaki descubren que se han enamorado el uno del otro, también las rivalidades surgidas con los alumnos de la escuela Miyabigaoka y todos los líos propios de la vida estudiantil en un instituto.

[Pinky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this volume but I liked the last one even better than this one. I have two more volumes to go and I am finished this series, I can't believe I am almost done this series. It feels like it is too good to be true. I loved everything about this volume, and I just want to continue reading!

If you don't know what this is about, this is about a girl named Misaki who is the school president. She is secretly working as a maid in a cafe. But Usui finds Misaki working as a maid and her secret is no longer a secret. Ever since he discovered this, he has never left Misaki's side, following her everywhere and helping her out. Both of the characters slowly come to realize their feelings and open up to each other.

I just want to keep looking at her.

Usui is an amazing character and I want to see him make more friends! Misaki is also an awesome character, she is a loyal friend and lover. She is always there for the people she loves and those who are dear to her. Shintani is an amazing character and I love how honest he is with Misaki. Suzana is an awesome little sister, her cooking is the best. Yukimaru is one of the characters that make me laugh so much. Gerrard is such a demanding character who is spoiled and bossy. I wish he would give Usui more personal space and wait to listen to his choices. Yuu is an interesting character that we learn more about and also Patricia. (Wink, wink)



This series is so much fun, I enjoy myself so much! I loved learning more about Usui's background and more about his parents. I wished that he took Misaki with him though because they are separated and have no contact with each other. Their relationship is strong though and I love that about these two, nothing can ever come between them. Misaki is one of those characters who is ready to cross the country for anyone she cares about. She is ready to wear uncomfortable clothing and act like a lady in order to fit in best with those she loves.

I loved this series so much, I can't wait to read more! I highly recommend this to everyone who likes romantic comedies. I also recommend this to anyone who has watched the anime and want more, this manga is perfect. If you haven't read manga and you need a good one to read, pick this up! And if you have already read manga and want more, I highly recommend this!

I don't know, I guess I'm just not a big fan of the tsundere character, but I appreciate how hard they are working to be with each other. Geez, talk about class struggles *rolls eyes.

Dios en este cap pasaron tantas cosas....
Espero que Misaki logre lo que se propuso.. y me encanto que contaron como fue la historia de los papas de Usui...
Y ese final fue epico... todavia no puedo de la risa...!

this was SAD😭😭

[Natalie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is starting to get really interesting once again, and with this volume it's clear that they're building up for an epic finale to the series!

We learned a lot about Usui's history (and his family's) in this one, with Usui travelling to Britain, and learning the truth of his birth and who his father really was, plus Misaki is also getting ready for what may be an epic rescue.

Side note: The Miyabigaoka president is starting to really grow on me.

Chapter notes below for reference: (spoiler heavy)


Chapter 71. Oh no, Aoi’s going through puberty ._. They’re not going to be happy with that! Voice changes!
--
Good on you Hinata! I think Misaki’s dad really does need to hear that c:
--
Aoi’s aunt’s giving them some really good advice, that Aoi doesn’t have to stick with the idol world and worry about a changing world but actually branch out into other things while remaining true to themselves. That’s awesome :)


Chapter 72. Oooh… entrance exams. I’ve heard the ones in Japan are BRUTAL so hopefully she can get enough studying done!
--
Misaki looks good in glasses c:
--
...the school is so big that people can legit travel from place to place on a horse? ._.
--
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE THINKING OF GOING TO BRITAIN.
--
Only she would headbutt him in response XD;

Chapter 73. HIS FAMILY HOME IS A CASTLE?
--
...well that was a creepy ass video. And what exactly was the purpose of it anyways?

Chapter 74. Wait… so she’s aiming for a really highly ranked university in order to be closer ranked to Usui and thus not feel as though there’s such a huge divide between them? Smart honestly.
--
Whoaaa… the Miyabigaoka president and his friends (cronies?) are going to try and train Misaki in such a way that she would fit in with “high society” and Usui? This is so strange… at least they’re open about their ulterior motive though?
--
USUI’S DAD WAS A BUTLER?! OH MY GAWD.

Chapter 75. Definitely learning a lot about Usui’s parents now o.O
--
Oh boy. Why would you start teaching her to dance in heels? Wouldn’t it make more sense to do it in bare feet or something first so that she didn’t accidentally stab her dance partner (which she’s clearly done multiple times!)
...then again, the Miyabigaoka president wouldn’t have as much fun then :P
--
Gerard hates Usui’s existence. Not a surprise really considering the story so far. Wish he wouldn’t blame a child for the parent’s failings though :|

[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aoi’s voice is changing. He is not happy!

Misa’s father is still working at the café. Hinata tells him what he did was wrong, but he needs to keep working hard so they can be a family again soon.

Usui is feeling lonely because he and Misa hardly get to be alone together. He has her hold a bunch a dishes just so she can “take his time eating her up” then he licks and nibbles her.

Shortly after this, Usui takes her on a tour of his school grounds and then drops a bomb, he’s going to England.

When he gets there, his brother plays dirty. He won’t let Usui see his grandfather, claiming he’s too sick, and we find out Gerald hasn’t even told him he’s there. He eventually takes his phone and locks it away so he can’t get in touch with Misaki. So Usui is stuck in a bad situation.

He does find out that he was lied to about his father. His dad was a butler that worked for them. His grandfather’s butler lets him read her diary so he gets the real story. We also find out Gerald hates the fact Usui exists, but Usui isn’t resentful of his “misfortune” (Gerald's words) because it means he was able to meet Misaki.

Meanwhile, Usui’s “new friends” are doing everything they can to prepare Misaki for visiting England, as she plans to go find Usui. Things are not going all that smoothly trying to turn her into someone Usui’s family will welcome, though. (of course not)

In the bonus story, we find out Sakura and Kuga are going out now.

[Lizzie RoseShine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was about to rate 3 since the story is ok but not much to me.The reason I give 4 stars since there are some part I was interesting seeing my fav Tora laugh at Misaki's funny training with Tora's friends n just to meet usui at Britain. There are some parts about usui's family truth story that usui should know.I can't blame Gerard guy since he's been hurt to know the truth because of her mother is having affair with another guy(yuu- usui's father) plus hate usui because of his existence.Gerard still love his mother the most n cared for her n hate usui n usui's father.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Vol. 16
by Hiro Fujiwara

3/5 stars

Usui is going to Britain and his brother, Gerard, have a dirty scheme for him. Smh. Even, he also send a threat video message to Misaki.

Something that I couldn't understand is.. why Misaki decides to come to Britain, too? I mean.. will she make any difference? --but well this is a shoujo manga.. what could I say...

Other than that, there is a story about Usui's mother and ofc another background story of him. So much complicated imho..

[Paulina ෂ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pasaron demasiadas cosas en este tomo, entre ellas la historia (verdadera) de los padres de Takumi. Debo admitir que a pesar de ser un recurso cliché, me agradó la manera en que éstos se conocieron (y más al ver de dónde sacó Usui su carácter).
Sin embargo la sección extra con Kuga y Sakura no me acaba de encantar ... Me sigue pareciendo una relación tóxica por más "tsundere" que lo quieran hacer ;;

[Fernanda Mella · Rating 5 out of 5]

Revelaron información de los padres de Takumi y me encanta como su historia de amor comparte elementos con la historia principal.

Lo otro, sus padres se parecen MUCHÍSIMO a los hijos que tendrán Takumi y Misaki.

También, creo que los genes de Yuu mejoraron el acervo genético de la familia Walker, dado que Takumi no salió débil como su mamá y abuela.

[The Other Silas · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5*


Gilbert is right, Usui really is an exact replica of both his parents. Explains so much about him. I feel like the recent thought-dumps have been kinda mild as compared to the earlier ones even though I'm enjoying these volumes more. The story, characters, and art everything just keeps getting better and better and it's all very... *chef's kiss*

[Stéphanie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Une suite qui m'ennuie de plus en plus... On part sur du remplissage, depuis qu'Usui et la présidente sont en couple l'histoire n'est plus intéressante. Les dessins restent jolis mais j'aimerai tellement que cette série finisse une bonne fois pour toute !

[Alejandra RL · Rating 2 out of 5]

Este volumen me pareció demasiado exagerado, pero es algo muy del manga en general, eso de exagerar los escenarios en el extranjero.

Y sobre la historia extra, odio a Kuga, es un patán que no merece el amor de Sakura.

[smileyreads · Rating 5 out of 5]

my mom was actually the one that introduced me to this one. I recall the manga ending when I first got into the anime. not sure when I finished the manga but this one is 100% a reread. ive reread this one in 2020 too!

hopefully I can collect it someday :)

[Katerina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Usui went to Britain , Misaki goes to the rich people to be more appropriate for a prince ?! Like … what ?!

[Alexis · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have enjoyed nothing like I enjoyed watching Aoi figure out how to be gender fluid.

[Liselotte · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of backstory which felt kind of filler material, but the good kind if you know what I mean

I hate where this story is going. I would like a lot less rich people family drama and a lot more relationship development
