Autumn 2018 First Impressions – Uzamaid!

Misha is a little girl who lost her mother at an early age, and now lives with her father. Her father employs a maid named Tsubame, who was a former Self-Defense Force official, and is also a lolicon. – ANN

Streaming: Crunchyroll

Episodes: 12

Episode Summary: Tsubame is a retired member of the JSDF who’s on the lookout for the perfect civilian job. Unfortunately her idea of “perfect” is somewhat unorthodox. She likes cute clothes and little girls who wear them, and wants a job that can combine these two passions. She has a stroke of luck when she notices a job flyer for a local address looking for a maid to cook, clean, and babysit. It’s the same house where Tsubame saw a cute little Russian girl during wintertime. Might she be lucky enough to work for that girl’s family?

Misha is the girl in question. Suffering from the death of her mother and her father’s cluelessness, she’s driven away each and every maid her father has tried to hire. But Tsubame has the guts and the motivation to stick around and do the job right, even as Misha protests her every action. Tsubame does whatever she can to get Misha to spend even a small amount of time together with her, though Misha is so put off by her creepy vibe and actions that she refuses. Will Tsubame have what it takes to survive this job assignment… and will Misha?

Autumn 2018 First Impressions – DAKAICHI: I’m Being Harassed by the Sexiest Man of the Year

Takato Saijō has reigned as the idol industry’s “Most Huggable” for five years, that is, until freshman actor Azumaya. Takato was always considered brusque while Azumaya’s smile is winning over admirers by comparison. The whole fiasco drives Takuto to over indulge in alcohol and his actions catch the attention of the last person he wants to see. To his surprise, Azumaya uses this new info to blackmail Takuto for physical affection. – ANN

Streaming: Crunchyroll

Episodes: 13

Episode Summary: Takato Saijyo is at the top of his game. He’s coming up on 20 years in the entertainment industry and shows no signs of stopping. For the past five years he’s been voted as the “most huggable” man in a popular magazine poll and expects that his ruthless hard work will land him at the top of this year’s standings as well. However, he gets a rude awakening when Junta Azumaya, a young but popular upcoming actor, upstages him big time, stealing his top spot (and to him, all the glory). Even worse, the two are working together on a new film in which Azumaya has the lead role.

If that weren’t bad enough, Saijyo ends up in Azumaya’s house after a night of heavy drinking (which Azumaya has on video), and Azumaya confesses that ever since Saijyo gave him acting advice a year ago, he’s harbored strong feelings for him. So strong, in fact, that Azumaya tries to make a move right then and there before Saijyo escapes and locks him in the bedroom. Needless to say, the atmosphere gets a little awkward on the movie set the next day, but Azumaya’s try-hard method of acting requires some hardcore correction, so Saijyo finds it in himself to provide some guidance. After a successful day of filming, Azumaya drags Saijyo back to his apartment for round 2, and Saijyo can’t find it within him to resist this time around. But he vows that he won’t have sex with Azumaya again unless Azumaya wins the “best actor” award.
