Plots(1)
Yuuri is the owner of a small estate in the countryside. When a new maid named Lilith suddenly appears in his life, he is determined to find out the truth about her. Although her identity and purpose are unknown, she works unnaturally hard and her skills at cooking and laundry are so perfect it's almost scary. In addition, her purple eyes... It's like they're about to take you in. He thinks she's so incredibly mysterious that she must be up to something. And he’s so suspicious that he can't focus on anything else, which is a problem. This is a story about a lonely boy and a mysterious maid developing a bond little by little. (Crunchyroll)

It’s a weird series. On one hand, it is a story about a young girl who comes to take care of an abandoned boy and a strange relationship starts to develop between them that is somewhere between building a family and a mediocre romance. On the other hand, it's basically a sort of The Duke of Death and His Maid shouta edition, without any of the supernatural stuff, where the most suspicious thing is the fact that an eighteen-year-old girl is flirting with a boy who's around twelve, and I wonder if anyone other than just the FBI should be interested. Even the jokes are built around the girl occasionally saying something ambiguous, to which she gets an honest response of an innocent child, which is at the same time worthy of an above-average Casanova who can make any girl blush. Then there’s the main character's strange friend, who at twelve has obviously read her mother's entire collection of romance novels, and sees what the viewer can also figure out, but what the boy is clueless about. In short, the whole thing is much more complicated and ambiguous, the characters themselves realize this and come to a fairly logical conclusion - let's see what actually happens in the end. Fortunately, it works quite well as a comedy, and emotionally it is also quite endearing when the relationship between the main couple is forming and developing. In the end, I consider it a passable comedy full of various double entendres, but one that I didn’t enjoy as much as the already mentioned Duke of Death. What didn’t help it much was the not-so-funny opening, in which the main character thinks everything is suspicious, including total bullshit. It made me want to drink a shot each time I heard him say "Ayashii". What kept me watching was the question "Why did the maid come to the mansion?" to which I eventually got a logical and agreeable answer which improved my final impression to 5.5/10.
