Synopsis

Leo is tomboy Aiko's rival, and Ai strives to beat him in everything - like basketball and popularity - but her efforts always fail with Leo always coming out on top. Then one day, she sees her break come through: her brother offers her a job at his maid cafe! But how will tomboy Ai ever be able to pass off as a cute maid? With a wig and a bit of makeup, this becomes possible. She's so much of a different person, even Leo doesn't recognize her! But things start becoming strange when Leo shows interest in her, asking out "Mai" on a date. Ai agrees, with plans in mind to get him to fall in love with her so she can later dump him. Will Ai finally win over Leo, or will her plan backfire just like her many others?

~Story~
The story wasent original at all because there are so many other manga about a girl working at a maid caf'e and falling inlove but i liked this one best because i liked how they mixed basketball in the plot and also that the girl dident look like some of the other characters she has made she was more tom boyish so i liked that alot. It went like this a girl thinks of a boy as her rival even though hes on the same basketball team and when her brother asks her to work at his maid cafe she accepts and meets her read more

Preliminary
1. The story is common - two rivals who are competing in EVERYTHING. The same school and they like to play basketball. The girl always comes by to the boys training and join the matches - she is really good and only one person is better from her.

2. Art could be better, I am not a big fan of the girl's look.

3. Characters are interesting, each one has his own personality so you can love/hate even supporting character.

I used to really enjoy this manga, however with more experience in the romance genre I realized that this title is average at best. No surprised read more
