Mai Meido (女 (め) 井 (い) 戸 (ど) 妹 (まい) , Meido Mai^?) is Rentarou's 20th girlfriend. She is a maid that serves Hahari and is Mei's self-proclaimed younger sister.

Appearance

Mai has light brown ombre hair that fades to a darker shade near the tips. Her hair is styled in a bob cut, partially braided and held in place with a jewel hair accessory. Her eye color is dark brown, similar to the darker shades of her hair. She wears a maid outfit identical to Mei's.

Mai wears her hair shorter to match Mei's hair and applies mascara to match her long eyelashes.

Personality

Much like her sister's loyalty for Hahari Hanazono, Mai is absolutely dedicated to Mei, often getting lost in thought while admiring her. Mai takes great pride in being close to Mei, often bragging about being her little sister. Her dedication is so strong that she initially resents Rentarou for being a threat that may take Mei away from her. Despite her hard exterior, Rentarou always makes her fall for him, often seeing everything in a flowery filter.

Unlike Mei, Mai is very clumsy, consistently slipping and tripping over things, although she is often caught by Mei before she can get hurt.

Mai appears to have girlish tastes, and enjoys shoujo manga, romantic novels, and medieval European fairytales. She is also easily lovestruck when someone either looks or acts in way that is princely, knightly, or in-line with shoujo mangas.

Abilities

Household Chores

Mai's clumsiness extends beyond household chores; she is prone to slipping and tripping, which can lead to accidents. Mei often intervenes to prevent her from getting hurt during these incidents.

History

Mai is the granddaughter of the former chief-maid of the Hanazono Household. She was brought to visit the estate when she was very young and was immediately enamored upon seeing Mei working. This inspired her to want to become a maid as well, so she would assist with Mei's duties when she had time outside of her schooling. After graduating junior high, Mai became a live-in maid for the Hanazono Household.

While her official debut was in Chapter 101, Mai made small appearances in Chapters 31, 49, 66 and 78. And also, she partially appeared on Chapter 28's cover page but without face.

Relationships

Rentarou Aijou

At first, Mai hated Rentarou for taking Mei, her dearest older sister, from her. After feeling the soulmate shock when she slipped, Mai looks at Rentarou as a handsome prince which makes her blush and cannot stop imagining his handsome face up close.

Mei Meido

Mai has a sister complex to Mei (although they are not blood-related), whom she always admired and was inspired by her to become a maid. Mei always takes care of Mai when she is in trouble (such as slipping and falling).

Momoha Bonnouji

Momoha sees Mai as her older sister, but Mai doesn't recognize it and only recognizes Mei as her dearest older sister.

Etymology

• Meido(女井戸) means "Girl" or "Woman"(女)(jou/me), "Well"(井)(i), and "Door"(戸)(do)
  • Like Mei, Mai's surname, Meido (女井戸) is pronounced the same way one would pronounce "maid" (メイド) in Japanglish.
    • Both Mei and Mai surname are homophonic (銘戸 for Mei, and 女井戸 for Mai)

• Mai (妹) uses the kanji for "younger sister" (妹) (imouto/mai).

Trivia

• Mai has kissed and been kissed by Rentarou at least 8 times as of Chapter 180.
  • Mai was kissed by Momoha, while the latter was drunk, during Chapter 170.
  • Mai shares her first kiss with Mei in Chapter 143.
• Mai's birthday, September 6th, is celebrated as Younger Sister's Day in Japan.
