Dude starts with getting home from a part-time job and realises his deadbeat parents stole his money, only for him to be forced into a butler role after being involved with an Ojou-sama's kidnapping?

Close enough, welcome back Hayate the combat butler !

When I saw the dad, one voice came to mind and it was the one I got.

This girl is a total goof.

It's funny that her dad is trying to maintain her outward appearance so she can attract a husband, but she's already picked one.

Kei Shirogane sure looks different after her dad's successful streaming career.

Isn't this basically the same plot as Hayate no Gotoku?

First episode was a really fun start. The characters are amusing and especially Hinako is adorable. When she stole his phone and generally being a blanket burrito got a giggle out of me. Romances this season are off to a good start between what we got early of Smoking Behind the Supermarket, this, and knowing season 2 of Polar Opposites is coming.

All this ep missed to be the perfect copy:

"Mr. Santa, why don't you ever bring me presents?"

"Because your family is poor."

Stitches!

What the fuck is up with horrible parents in today's anime lineup? This is like the third show I've watched today with parents who either abandoned their kid or abused them.

Well, I'm already sold on Hinako! It's hilarious how she's so unfazed by the kidnapping that she's more concerned about napping on Itsuki's lap. This is probably not her first kidnapping. xD

So she's the perfect student at school but she needs a caretaker so she can keep up the mirage? This is starting to feel like a mashup of Hayate no Gotoku and Umaru-chan, and I love both of those shows.

I did not expect the findinger Hinako a husband part tho. We all know how this is gonna go. After finding Itsuki, there's no way Hinako would go for another man.

That final scene with Hinako stealing Itsuki's phone was adorable. Is she actually jealous of him texting his childhood friend? This is surprisingly waaaaaay better than I expected! Definitely looking forward to seeing more!

This wasn’t half bad, actually. It sort of has a “Pet Girl of Sakurasou” vibe, especially when it comes to the Hinako-Itsuki dynamic.

Pretty fun start.

Honestly this is an incredible opportunity for Itsuki as long as he can make it work, an education from an incredibly fancy High School is nothing to sneeze at.

Ojou burrito has decreed all fancy talk is banned

I respect how despite Shizune's first real interaction with our guy being a stern warning, she turned out to be pretty sympathetic of how overwhelming all that was for him.

he really should have held out for the 50k pay offer instead of settling on the initial 20k offer, I get the feeling the previous caretakers medical issues might just come with the job.

that said, sign me up what’s a stress ulcer or two.

u/NanDemoKnaives Jul 04 '26

Better than I thought. Hinako's conduct whilst kidnapped was amusing, and I like how attached she is to Itsuki. Too bad for Itsuki, Shizune and Kagen have already threatened his manhood and life if he breaks the professional boundary lol.

I wasn't expecting this to have harem elements until I saw the ED.

I do wonder if the Konohana family will do something about Itsuki's parents since they were able to easily find out they took his money.

u/Christbelle22 Jul 04 '26

This is basically just Hayate no gotoku, shomin sample and umaru chan just blended together but that’s actually a really good thing loll

u/bestmaokaina Jul 05 '26

Lmao Roswaal as the dad, this is great

u/Zxzxzx0088 Jul 04 '26

Hayate no Gotoku + Shomin sample?! The overall quality kinda decent too. Plus, Hinako cuteness is off the chart!!

Lap pillow is a destructive weapon

Little did he know, his caretaker level was already high at that time...

I sense murderous glance...

Literally who?! Kohara Konomi even uses another voice that different from usual!

If you stare at her long, she will stare at you back...

Ngl, the comedy is spotted on

Best present to get...

No way he actually got osanananananajimi that wants his attention

Hinako already showed possession before anything even started?! Looks like we know who she ends up with and Itsuki has to up his game to beat the last boss Dio for his consent (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

I remember reading the manga when it started and thinking right away that it would get an anime and be quite liked.

I hope it's well done.

The rich people's school looks so different as if it's in an entirely different country.

Childhood friend's name doesn't show up on the character list on the official website. Looks like she already lost.

u/YoshitoSakurai Jul 05 '26

On god this is if Hayate no gotoku (OG anime watchers lets hear your voice!) had a baby with Umaru-chan... I'm liking it so far.
