What do we know about the Maid-sama! special chapter so far?
Other than its 24 July release date, we don’t know anything about the special update.
In February 2025, Fujiwara published a special chapter of the manga in the LaLa DX magazine.
What is Maid-sama! about?
Hiro Fujiwara’s popular manga was serialised in Hakusensha’s LaLa magazine from December 2005 to September 2013. The chapters were collected in 18 volumes. A 26-episode anime adaptation by J.C. Staff was released between April and September 2010.
Viz Media publishes the manga in English and describes the story as:
Can Misaki trust Usui to keep her secret from the rest of the kids at school? And why the heck is he always showing up at the maid café? Maybe she should start taking him seriously when he says he likes her—especially when he throws in an unexpected kiss!
Fujiwara launched a new manga titled Neko ni Wagamama (As a Cat Wills) in the LaLa DX magazine in February 2025.
