The [[Gag Boobs|ridiculously well-endowed]] Naeka Fujiwara and her brother Kousuke are the last heirs in line to their grandfather's humongous fortune. Naeka in particular, since her 18th birthday is approaching. In order to protect them until Naeka's 18th birthday, their grandfather gives them two live-in maids. The first is Fubuki, a fine example of a [[Meido]] for Kousuke's tastes. The second...is Kogarashi, the Maid Guy. A monster of a man (in a ''dress'') whose idea of service to his master is very rough around the edges.

Throw in more side characters from Naeka's school, Maid Guy's beyond-superhuman abilities, and a whirlwind of comedy begins. The anime series aired in spring 2008 as a [[Twelve Episode Anime]], followed by an [[OVA|OVD]].

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] -- Kogarashi wears a dress, has the skill sets of a ninja, bodyguard, mathematician ''and'' top-class maid, but is shaky on the concept of "personal space", "restraint" or "metaphor". It makes his outbreaks of common sense all the more surprising.
