Maid-Sama!: Complete Collection Blu-ray Movie

Misaki Ayuzawa has enough problems being the first female student council president of the formerly all-male Seika High School. So when cool, aloof and oh-so-handsome Usui Takumi discovers that she's also a waitress at a local maid café by night, things are going to get very interesting, very quickly! Toss in an organized crime cartel, a handful of extremely annoying transfer students and the inevitable trip to the hot springs and everyone is bound to end up in hot water one way or another. But Misaki isn't going to let any of that stop her from maintaining order in the classroom and taking orders in the tea room. It's a triple serving of romance, comedy, and school house drama, with a dash of danger for flavor. And it's all served with a smile in Maid Sama! With a new English dub featuring Monica Rial as Misaki and David Matranga as Usui!
