We met Misaki, a new student at Amanotsuka Girl’s School, when she unceremoniously climbed the wall to save some time and ran into Amanotsuka Himeko. Their meeting was kismet, because the girl who never wanted to become a maid and the girl who didn’t want a maid,  turn out to be an excellent mistress and maid combo. This was all detailed in Volume 1.

In Girl’s Kingdom, Volume 2, Misaki and the newest member of the Sky Salon, Misaki’s roomate Kirara, are roped into any number of impossible tasks in order to make their ladies’ lives better. Because this series is goofy and fun, they manage to accomplish them all, no matter how silly. And let me assure you they are varied and very silly tasks. From arranging a successful marketing relationship, to saving a restaurant, to becoming better maids, Misaki makes in-roads in all manner of issues at this unreal school, peopled by unreal people, in unreal situations.

It’s challenging to find things to say about this volume that I haven’t already said in my review of Volume 1. It’s still absolutely mad as a porridge knife, full of pointlessly salacious nonsense, then covered by other pointless nonsense…but all the pointless nonsense is the plot, so one can’t really complain. And, might one think to complain, British transfer student Sarah would surely scold. After all, England is the place maids come from, we are assured, so clearly she will be better at this than anyone. Because being a maid can be learned by osmosis, apparently.  ^_^

More importantly, this novel is absolutely goofy; adapted ably by Philip Reuben and editor teiko, who keep both the fake humor and the real humor behind, it in this theater of the absurdly written. Illustrations that sometimes match the descriptions in the text are an added bonus. It’s a hoot and everyone deserves some off time for their brain. ^_^

Ratings:

Art – 8 Pretty, but why?
Story – 7 Even sillier than Volume 1
Characters – 8 Likeable and loopy
Service – 7 Underwear and baths, how revelatory.
Yuri – 4 Slowly getting there, amazingly. A whole half-step forward, at least

Overall – 7

If all this maidly and mistressly excitement isn’t enough for you, Volume 3 is coming your way in June! All three Girls Kingdom volumes are available from J-Novel Club on Amazon, Bookwalker Global and are on the Yuricon Store.
