Mei-chan no Shitsuji! I love this drama! This was done by the same people who brought us
Hana Kimi, so you should brace yourself for a fair amount of crack.
Starting with the concept.
A poor girl's parents die. She finds out she's really the long lost heir to some huge company, and she gets transferred to a school where every girl has to have a butler.
No, really.
Her butler is his hotness, Rihito. The butler every girl drools over.
Spoilers for all episodes through ep 8.
Mei has recently left the school, and Rihito, her butler, who is in love with her, did not stop her or go to get her after she left.
Kento, who also loves Mei, and is Rihito's baby brother, thinks his brother is a moron. He decides he needs to wake his stupid brother up. By hitting him in the face repeatedly.
This is one of my favorite fist fight scenes EVER. I capped as much as I could, but some caps were too blurry for picspamming. I did the best I could!
Face off!
Kento calls his brother a wuss.
Rihito doesnt deny it, and drags himself back to his feet after being knocked down.
Rihito just..takes it. For two punches and two knock downs. He doesnt fight back, doesnt speak, doesn't even dodge a punch.
The third punch, and something is different for Rihito.
and then the Spanish guitar kicks in. No, i am not EVEN joking.
Rihito drags himself to his feet. (I have many many caps of this particular scene. Many of them of his shiny shiny pants. I decided they weren't applicable to the plot, so they aren't here)
Things become a bit more evenly matched. If by 'evenly,' you mean, 'Kento doesn't have a chance in hell.'
Half of the school is there by now. Two of the girls tried to intervene, but were stopped by their butlers.
Rihito gets serious about things by losing the jacket.
They throw each other around and trade punches in earnest, neither realizing Mei is there and is watching the whole thing.
Kento gets one last good punch in on his brother...
And then falls. Rihito catches him.
Kento moans. "I can't lose to you."
Rihito pats his brother on the back, and says the first thing he's said in this scene. "Same here."
Kento is taken aback, because his brother actually ADMITTED it.
The other butlers rush to Kento's side to make sure he isn't dead.
Rihito turns. And sees Mei.
Rihito apologizes for his appearance...
AND DROPS TO HIS KNEES AT MEI'S FEET.
"I am sorry I did not come and get you... I am Mei-sama's butler."
I flap my hands, because he is BLOODY and TEARY and BEAUTIFUL, and i can't handle it!
'FUCK,' thinks Kento.
