Key visual for Heroine? Saint? No, All Works Maid (Proud)!
The series is a “misunderstanding job fantasy” based on the light novel by Atekichi, published by TO Books, with a manga adaptation. The story is set in the world of the otome game Silver Saint and Five Oaths, which is fated to face destruction by the Demon King. The heroine (saint) Melody, who should save the world, instead devotes all her abilities to maid work, becoming a perfect all-works maid. With the saint absent, the scenario becomes unpredictable—what will become of the world?
Chief director is Ishibashi Shinji, director is Murakawa Naoya, and animation production is by EMT Squared. The cast includes Miyamoto Yume as Melody Wave, Ookubo Rumi as Luciana Rutherberg, Hikasa Yoko as Annemarie Victorium, Amasaki Kouhei as Christopher von Theolas, Ono Yuki as Rectius Flood, Horie Shun as Beuke, and Nakamura Shungo as the Demon King.
Episode 1 Synopsis: “The Girl Who Wanted to Be a Maid”
Scene cut from Episode 1
The Rutherberg mansion was dilapidated two weeks ago, with crows gathering and rusty gates. But when friends visit, they are amazed at the transformation. Luciana, who greets them, is refined, and the tea served is top-notch.

The reason is a single maid: Melody. She loves maids and aspires to become an “all-works maid” entrusted with all duties, and has come to the Rutherberg household to achieve that goal.
