There's no what one could call an overarching plot, since it's a more episodic in nature show, but there IS a natural flow of events and developments that lead to a satisfying and cohesive narrative evolution. I can honestly say I've laughed and teared up in almost every single episode. The emotional struggles of both MCs, both grieving and adjusting to new situations. The show achieves the perfect balance between sweet, lighthearted comedic tones, and a more serious approach towards And it's done beautifully from beginning to end. This is one of those (rare in this medium and industry, I am extremely sorry to express) 'don't judge a book by its cover' cases, though: Shounen Maid is basically a gen slice of life show centering around family, friendship and mourning. I can get, however, where the reluctance to touch this show might be coming from, since 8bit produced it and the summary sounds like the premise to some terrible shotacon nightmare. Shounen Maid is a TERRIBLY underrated show.
