You ever wonder wonder how the first maid uniform was introduced to Japan? I want to thank the person who is responsible for all the adorable women in maid uniforms that we can appreciate so much today. (I’m sure it didn’t get to Japan the way Yamano described it in Tokimeki Check-In!)
Last “how to draw manga” book was all about maids… o_O’

Has this one been released in english yet?
Why do the maid uniforms in most maid anime look so subdued? The maid uniforms that always stick in my mind have short skirts, garter belts, and show lots of clevage. The ones in (most) anime don't even show a hint of leg.
Now that we are talking about maids, does somenone know if Maids Story is cool ? Normally I only buy uncensored games but now I changed my mind I should reconsider the older games as well

Nothing like a cute maid to ease young boys into puberty. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
Wow a Maid Uniform topic, I have no clue why but for some unknown reason, i really like maid uniforms, as well as nurse uniforms. I pretty much look for anything with a maid type or look a like. Those are the type of art that I’m really into, that doesn’t mean i don’t like others tho.

That's probably because they are wearing uniforms that are slightly more functional than seduce-the-master sexy.
Oh heck, most of them still are! The studios/producers/whoever probably just didn't want to push the anime from pinkish to outright hentai. Not that it stopped the doujinshi circles...

Well, you have the "Pose collection #5" which is about waitresses and maids, but since it has pictures only, it doesn't need translation... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]
In Doukyuusei 1 (the game for PC and ~if~ for Saturn), she did the voice of Yoshiko Serizawa; and in Doukyuusei 2 OVA, she did the voice of Narusawa Misako (Yui’s mother).
