Synopsis

Our heroine, Ruu MACHIDA, is having a hard time. Her mother died when she was little, and her father, with whom she had been living, has disappeared without a trace after getting into debt. Ruu is on her own.

To make ends meet, she takes a job as a live-in maid for a very wealthy household. To Ruu's surprise, the house she ends up working at is the home of three cute brothers, and she already knows one of them! They agree to let Ruu work there because they are often alone and they could use the help. Their parents are often away on business. Ruu moves in and works hard as a maid, and they all become very close. But things aren't always smooth sailing. Ruu has a lot of pressure on her because of her father's debts, and three very cute guys to deal with!

Vol 2 included one-shot: Watashi no Sugar Baby

Why is this manga REALLY REALLY similar to Fruits Basket? Did it copy Fruits Basket? That's the downside to it, the fact that it is way TOO similar. The three guys part, the personalities, and also theres this part where one of the guys have to dress up in a girl's outfit, that's the same in Fruits Basket too! I really wanna know whether Iyo Takarada copied Natsuki Takaya or not. We can't say that Takaya copied Takarada because Fruits Basket was published before 2004.
The people that are similar to Fruits Basket are like this:

The first thing I read when I entered to the manga site was a thread with the title "Most stupid ending ever!". As I kept looking, there were more similar titles. "It can't be THAT stupid" I thought. When I was almost ending the story and I saw it was getting nowhere, I thought it may be true... And it actually was.

It wasn't all bad though, it has its pros. I think the art was very good and suits this type of manga, some of the characters were pretty cool and I found it kinda enjoyable, since I'm a shoujo lover.

But to sum up, it's ...
