Synopsis
The school romantic comedy revolves around a
second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in
Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's school. One
day, Mashiro Shiina—a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan,
brilliant artist—moves into Sakurasou.
Sorata thinks to himself that he should protect Mashiro from the weirdos
at Sakurasou, but Mashiro has a surprising secret: she has no idea how
to take care of herself. She gets lost if she goes out, and her room is a
complete mess. Sorata's dorm mates designate him as the "master" of
Mashiro, and thus, an ordinary boy and a brilliant girl must live like
"a master and his pet."

and returns to England with Mashiro's father and starts to study art
again. She argues with Ryuunosuke usually.

letting Maid handle her email, this only provokes her determination and
