Yasuaki Mikami's Looks like a Job for a Maid! Light Novels Get TV Anime
Earth Star Novel announced on Thursday that Yasuaki Mikami's Looks like a Job for a Maid! The Tales of a Dismissed Supermaid (Maid Nara Tōzen Desu. Nureginu o Kiserareta Bannō Maid-san wa Tabi ni Deru Koto ni Shimashita) light novel series is getting a television anime adaptation.
For plain little Nina, working as a maid in the house of Count Mirkwood is her whole world—until a false accusation has her swept out on the streets. Jobless and with nowhere left to turn, Nina decides to set out on her very first solo journey. But Nina isn't just any maid—she's a supermaid! Her talents quickly prove indispensable to the people she meets during her travels. There's Emily, a mage who can't use magic; Astrid, a brilliant inventor whose experiments never quite work; and Tien, an orphan who can't seem to keep a meal down. Meanwhile, back at the Mirkwood household, things go awry in Nina's absence...
None of them realize it yet, but Nina might just be the answer they've all been searching for. Because when this supermaid is on the job, no mess can stand in her way!
Mikami first published the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2021. Earth Star Entertainment started publishing the novels with illustration by Kinta in July 2022. The ninth volume will ship on October 15.
Ayahito Kumagai launched the novels' manga adaptation on Earth Star Entertainment's Comic Earth Star manga website in October 2022. The manga's first compiled book volume shipped in April 2023, and the seventh volume shipped on May 13. J-Novel Club is also releasing the manga in English.
