After losing his mother, 12‑year‑old Taro travels to Tokyo to live with his grandfather. He is stunned to discover that his grandfather’s house is a sprawling mansion staffed by hundreds of beautiful maids. To make matters worse for Taro (but entertaining for us), he inherits the Hanaukyō mansion along with the constant services of all the maids, who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
