Seems cute so far.

Edit: Not sure it needs a lolicon tag though.

Page 10?

My brain always shortcircuits slightly when I see maid but no Zanka.

That was my reaction

She doesn’t care about cleaning, she just a cute

Aw. it's cute you think this is going to be a "balm on a reader's heart" instead of the inevitable flood of comments hating on a story with tags they clearly already hate, so why are they reading it, lol.

Do you want to come inside for some coffee?

When I saw the mess she made I thought, welp, that's it, she'll be fired, no helping it...

Next page: "You're hired!" Uh, wait, what???

Oh right. Clumsy almost-loli maid. Irresistible for any Japanese person.

And we love them for that.

Must ask: is "middle-school" lolicon? Or do we consider it already teenager? Seems to be a grey area...

I didn't set that tag and wouldn't consider that manga to be lolicon. Dunno why, but there's someone in the staff who considers that lolicon \o_O/ It's just a tag I guess...

Oh no! They're both idiots!

Godspeed, idiots! We're cheering for you!

I'd figure in theory she is. But she doesn't have the loli LOOK.

Age gap forced servitude adult/child pinning is basically the most unappealing concept to me ever and the first chapter left a bad taste in my mouth so I’ll be moving on and leave y’all to enjoy lol

Strictly speaking, a loli is a girl before puberty. Broadly speaking, anyone who looks like a prepubescent girl will find some fans among the loli lovers. But maid-chan here doesn't seem to fit any of those criteria.

The way I see it, an early teen of average height who already has some feminine curves shouldn't really count as a loli.

Be fair. Seems to be the oppossite of "forced servitude" here. Looks more like Kaoru Mori's "Shirley", a tale of a 13-old maid... who works in the house of the only lady who literally forgot to include an age restriction in the "work wanted" newspapers ad. In both cases the early-teenaged girl is taken, not to take advantage of the age, but despite reticency of "she's too young". And this is chapter 1, but the Shirley manga is the wholesomest thing you'll ever read. I'll be giving this one a few chapters to see if it goes in the same direction or not,

Forced servitude? I thought the main girl here just moved out to live on her own, and then suddenly the daughter of her previous caretaker just asks her to be her maid.

I'm just glad Daphie doesn't let the comments get to them, and keeps translating the works that they enjoy and want to share.

and saying this another way, I hope you know there are plenty of us in the community that appreciate your efforts Daphie!

Thank you for this! Yes, I always strive to not let others bring me down. I just love age gap stories, it's a big part of my enjoyment of manga, so I'm doing what I can so others who also appreciate that can enjoy good chapters!!!

And you're welcome ^_^

The internet is unfortunately messy so that's an admirable mentally to have I think! Also anytime, you're definitely one of my favorite translators and community members <3

As long as the first chapter was, chapter 2 was too short. Need more doses of cute!

Grades 7-9 in Japan, so ages 12-15 depending on a grade and when in the school year it is. Technically late tween at the low end, heading into early teens, mid-teen at the high end.

Count me in for the sweetest fluff Daphie picks out. This is gonna give me diabetes and I love it :P

the deflections always makes me laugh, how can you be a manga reader, and somehow not want to admit to the dubious nature of these stories, thats beyond absurd to the point of being embarrassing.

though id say, the worst part of it all has to be those saying that the valid concerns of others, should not be voiced in favour of only fostering positive discussions about the unethical situations in the manga.

its high time people understand that liking manga comes with a history of negative implications, and that criticism and complaints of its media and its consumers come with the territory due to that history, any person deflecting from that expecting a safe space to enjoy their guilty pleasure are delusional and should reconsider consuming this media.

end note. a loli is a young girl, and a middle school female is of course a young girl, and the fact that the story highlights her youth makes it obvious who the story is targeting, why pretend otherwise? unless.... oh, okay, i see..... more deflection.

Wow! Chapter 2 already!? Thank you, Daphie!

Don't be silly. There have been masses of arguments about just what a "loli" is among people who pay no attention whatsoever to issues of morality and so have no need for deflection. The subject is complicated by the fact that many characters generally described as "loli" are adults, or even hundreds of years old--having the body type associated with "loli" is clearly sufficient for the designation even in the absence of actual youth.

a loli isnt something so abstract though, it simply means a young girl, that can be in appearance,in attitude, in age,etc... this isnt rocket science or anything, its a very straightforward fetish that many like to participate.

and, people having arguments about a simple topic with an obvious answer doesnt make the answer abstract, it instead attempts to complicate the topic and deflect away from the admittance of the plain truth.
