But fate certainly won’t leave it at that, and now she has to deal with a new guy who is not only extremely anti-girl, but a hypnotist as well! Toss in an organized crime cartel that wants to replace the maid café with a butler bistro, some very annoying new transfer students and the inevitable trip to the hot springs and EVERYONE is guaranteed to end up in hot water, one way or the other.
