Episode 03: The Whole Building (Maid Sama 6-9)
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika discuss Episodes 6-9 of Maid Sama! These episodes are full of Floats Your Boat moments, but also many I Scream, You Scream moments... Giana and Chika share tons of laughs but also lots of anger!
Giana and Chika talk about Misaki and Usui's growing romance and conflict, issues due to bad communication that could've been easily solved, and an absolutely disgusting red flag encounter at the end of Episode 8. They unravel the shame Misaki feels around working in the service industry, the misogyny of the boys, the three idiots, the "good stress" of having a crush, Misaki's low-key bisexuality, and much more.
Grab your spoons, folks, let's dig in!
