There’s never a dull moment in Misaki’s life as a maid at Amanotsuka Academy for Girls. Her first paycheck is a cause for celebration, but when she has to find the perfect thank-you present for Himeko, she just can’t decide! Then a spooky mystery haunts the school, with students claiming to have seen a ghost in the woods. It’s up to Misaki to brave the danger and find out if there really is a spirit among them! If all that wasn’t hubbub enough, there’s a new lady on campus, and she’s an exchange student. In fact, she’s the former mistress of Misaki’s British classmate. The Sky Salon wants to recruit her, but it seems like she’s in high demand—even from an unexpected party. Surprises and revelations are afoot!
It’s a battle of the salons! At the school for mistresses and maids, three groups are vying for the new girl’s attention. Will Sakura join the Sky Salon, the Paradise Palace, or the Gloriana Guesthouse? Kagura, head of the Sky Salon, is determined to beat the competition fair and square. It’s a battle of wits, ambition, and—believe it or not—homemade confections. Plus, the mystery of who spread the word about Sakura’s arrival is solved. During summer vacation, a new problem arises. Matsuri, a Seraph who’s been working hard to pay off her family’s debts, suddenly finds herself spurned by her cruel mistress. Misaki’s determined to help, but what can she and Himeko do? This vacation’s going to be anything but relaxing!
