My Maid is Too Annoying! is a popular series currently being serialized in Monthly Action. It was originally written by Nakamura Kanko and was finally adapted into an anime in October 2018! The catchphrase for the series is "A perverted fighting housekeeper vs. a Russian elementary school student - a heartwarming, unsettling home comedy?" and exactly as the catchphrase suggests, it is a comedy that depicts the hectic daily life of the strongest maid and a young Russian girl. This time, we'll be introducing the charms of Morisaki Yui, a junior high school girl who aims to be a charismatic leader!

The Takanashi family lost their mother to illness. Because her father is busy with work, he decides to hire a housekeeper, but his daughter, Misha, refuses to accept any woman other than her mother. Misha harasses her in every way possible, forcing every housekeeper to quit. A new housekeeper arrives at the Takanashi household. Her name is Tsubame Kamoi. She is completely different from the previous housekeepers. With her arrival, Misha's peaceful daily life falls apart, and every day becomes a battle of all-out resistance.

A girl in the same class as Misha, Yui is a cute and stylish young girl who has discovered her gyaru side in second grade. However, she is a bit of a disappointment, as she feels that the otherworldly beauty of Misha in her class has taken away the beautiful girl role that should have been hers. She's not the type to think things through and often acts on impulse. She's also quite competitive with Misha, which makes her somewhat annoying. She has a unique way of speaking, often ending sentences with "sho."

Yui is voiced by Shiori Izawa, affectionately known by nicknames such as "See-Tam." She's one of the most popular voice actresses, known to all anime fans. Her distinctive voice, a stark contrast to her beautiful appearance, makes her a truly captivating voice actress. She's played main characters in many anime, including Midoriko Sono (also known as Sodoko) in Girls und Panzer (as well as two other members of the discipline committee), and Hebot in Hebot.
Yui Morikawa's Charm #1: She's so cute!

Although Misha is an impregnable and formidable opponent, I think she's actually quite cute. In fact, she is admittedly cute by both herself and others, but she is still in second place (lol). She herself seems to acknowledge that she cannot beat Misha in cuteness, but she is still not convinced, so it is a difficult situation. It's a similar situation to Rimu competing with Teruhashi from Saiki Kusuo.
Morikawa Yui's charm point 2: She's a stylish gal!

While her very existence is somewhat of a mystery, Yui is so fashion-conscious that she subscribes to fashion magazines for junior high school students. She seems to be quite particular about fashion, and it seems she can't let Misha beat her in that area. She also has a policy of wearing light clothing even in winter in order to stay fashionable, which shows how serious she is about it. Perhaps due to the influence of her parents, there are certainly a lot of fashionable elementary school students these days. However, Yui-chan sometimes thought that dressing up in all sorts of over-the-top outfits was enough, but thanks to the help of the ultimate lolicon leader, she is awakened to smart fashion.
Morikawa Yui's charm point 3: She's competitive!

While the above seems somewhat understandable, she has an extremely competitive personality. Her competitive spirit is generally directed towards Misha, who finds her somewhat annoying. Unfortunately, she usually loses, but she's a pretty strong-willed character. She also seems to be competitive, and is the center of attention, always more motivated than anyone else in physical education and other activities.
Morikawa Yui's Charm #4: Her Speech Endings and Her Voice Actress!

In any case, Yui often ends her sentences with "っSHO." Is it something like "seriously" or "super" in gyaru terms? Anyway, it's a catchphrase that's quite addictive. And speaking of addictive, her voice is also addictive. I was wondering who the voice actress was, and I knew who it was the first time I heard her say it (lol). It's Izawa Shiori, who has the weirdest voice in a good way. Her unique character and unique voice are a perfect match, making her twice as cute! But Shi-tam is also around 30 years old, but she can play the role of a second-grader, so voice actors are really amazing.
Morikawa Yui's charm point 5: She's comical!

With the sensible Washiwashi and the lazy Misha, all that's left is the main character, right? (laughs) In the story, she brilliantly plays the role of punching bag, main character, and entertainer, doing many comedic things to liven up the story! Let's take a look at some of Yui's funniest moments!
Reactions from a bygone era

This is Yui getting mad when Misha, who she's always considered a rival, unfortunately doesn't know about her. It reminded me of Maki from Kainan University Affiliated High School and that guy from Toyotama High School (lol). Their reactions were so comical, like something from a comedy anime a while back (lol).
Jealous Yui

This is Yui's reaction when she finds out that Misha has 10,000 yen and a maid at home. It was adorable how she seemed to have lost her soul and was jealous of Tsubame's wealth. By the way, Yui only had 512 yen.
A mysterious relationship develops

After receiving some very accurate fashion advice from Tsubame, the proud Yui began to look up to Tsubame as her mentor. That's how much Tsubame knew about and knowledgeable about lolita fashion she was, but Misha was confused by the two troublesome characters becoming friends (lol). From then on, Yui started calling Tsubame mentor.

If it weren't for the monstrous little girl Misha of her age, this beautiful girl would surely have dominated the show! Unfortunately, because of Misha, she's always been a back-runner, but she's still very cute. Although she has a competitive and somewhat annoying personality, she is a valuable character who really livens up the story and makes it enjoyable. Be sure to enjoy Yui's "togetherness" in the anime and original work.
