The Art
of Keeping Up Appearances at School
This
adaptation of the light novel written by Yusaku Sakaishi and
illustrated by Sakura Miwabe is shaping up to be one of the
most relaxing and fun options of the season. Unlike other school anime where
the protagonist suffers constant rejections, here the main dynamic lies in the
immense contrast between the public facet of our heroine and the disaster that
is behind closed doors. It promises to be a story of sweet romance, retellings
of life and everyday situations that is sure to win over lovers of the genre.
Synopsis
of Rich Girl Caretaker
The life of
Itsuki Tomonari, a completely ordinary high school student, takes a drastic
turn when he is involved in a strange kidnapping incident. As a result of this
chaotic entanglement, he ends up becoming the secret caretaker of Hinako
Konohana, the young heiress of one of the largest and most powerful business
conglomerates in all of Japan. Although at school Hinako projects the image of
being a bright, elegant and absolutely perfect girl, the reality is very
different: in private she is an incredibly lazy person with no skills to survive
on her own. Determined to protect her and help her maintain her façade in the
face of strict society, Itsuki dedicates himself to caring for her in the
shadows. Little by little, the distant heiress will begin to depend on him much
more than they both expected.
