Ah! Sorry I have not been keeping up with my studious ways. My Japanese P.I.C. (that's partner-in-crime, or in normal people speak my "study buddy") has been largely unavailable so I haven't been doing anything much in the line of studying. But I will try to get back on the wagon again (is it _on_ the wagon, or _off_ the wagon? I can never remember).
Kaichou wa Maid-sama (wiki) is the next anime I started watching after Magi. It's a school-life shoujo type romantic comedy (I guess) about a girl who attends a mostly rufian-boy high school. She is the class president but she has a little secret... She works in a Maid cafe as a waitress! One of her fellow students, a lady killer named Osui, decides to keep this little secret for himself in order to try and make her his personal maid for a day.
I'll try to organize them by episode... I only started doing that as of Episode 4 however, so 1-3 will be clumped together. As of this writing I'm on episode 20 something and I stopped taking notes at episode 10. Woops.
