[Requests Accepted] [ensemble] 乙女が紡ぐ恋のキャンバス [VJ006699]

■Story The protagonist, Nobuki Mizuki, was trying to record a requested TV show as usual. However, the moment he turned on the power, he froze. It was because “his cross-dressed self” was on the screen. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a life-sized figure that looked just like him. Moreover, for some reason, it was listed for auction, and bids were about to start. The root of all evil was, sadly, his real sister, Hatoru. Hatoru, a super famous artist, pointed at the screen and laughed maniacally. “Ha! Your cross-dressing has excited the men, and they’ve already started bidding high. How about some nude photos next? Why don’t you strip a little?” Feeling a sense of crisis, Nobuki rushed out of the house in a panic—still in the cross-dressing outfit that Hatoru had forced him into. Just when Nobuki was at a loss, a girl appeared before him. “What are you doing in front of the art museum so late at night? It’s already past closing time.” When he explained that he had nowhere to go, she kindly offered to introduce him to a live-in job. However— “Here, this is your uniform. I’ve already taken care of the admission process.” “Wait, admission? What about the job…?” “You’ll be working as a maid in the girls' dorm as a scholarship student, is that alright?” “!?” It couldn’t possibly be alright, but if he revealed his true identity now, he might be reported as a pervert. As a stopgap measure, he introduced himself as Mizuki Miyama. Oukou Art Academy— A prestigious girls' school specializing in training renowned artists and art dealers. Having met a girl while cross-dressing, Nobuki Mizuki—no, as Mizuki Miyama—was promised a life of hardship as a female student. Unable to return home and forced to live under a false identity, Mizuki wondered what would happen next…!? Characters ● Reina Oukou (CV: Yuki Satou) A second-year student at Oukou Art Academy who also serves as a proxy for the board. She is the daughter of the Oukou family, welcoming Mizuki (Nobuki) as a maid. As the only daughter of a historic Western art gallery, she has an unparalleled love for beautiful things. However, she dislikes the word “beautiful” being used too casually and has a down-to-earth character. Although she is a bit spoiled due to being sheltered, her approachable demeanor transcends social class, earning her the affection of people of all ages. While she seems to lack any troubles, her slightly smaller chest compared to others and her father Ichirou's reckless purchasing habits are sources of headache for her. “I don’t like the word ‘beautiful.’ It makes my back itch, doesn’t it?” ● Chiharu Shishidou Flammstead (CV: Miyami Arisugawa) A second-year student at Oukou Art Academy. She is Reina’s personal bodyguard. The Shishidou family has been loyal retainers to the Oukou family for generations, continuing this tradition even now. Her duties include protecting Reina and monitoring artworks. Although she should be accustomed to handling paintings, she oddly tries to avoid them in her private life. She has a striking appearance that strongly resembles her British mother, often mistaken for a tourist, which is a bit of a complex for her. Raised entirely in Japan, her hobbies include tea and origami, and her favorite weapon is the Japanese sword. Her earnest demeanor, which values etiquette, is immensely popular among the female students, and she and Reina are often hailed as the “ideal couple.” “Shame on you! To run away is unthinkable; you’re a warrior…! I-I’m sorry, you’re a maid, aren’t you?” ● Anastasia Alexeyevna Idinarok (CV: Fuka) A third-year student at Oukou Art Academy, she is a senior to Mizuki (Nobuki) and Reina. She is the young director of the prestigious Idinarok Museum of Sculpture. With exceptional taste and extensive knowledge, she excels at directing exhibitions. Her personality is just as gentle and healing as her appearance, and she is caring, possibly due to having a much younger brother (Johan). She is well-regarded for her character, with rumors suggesting that praying to her once a day brings happiness. A fan club has even been established for her, yet few know about her background. “Mizuki, you have such a lovely bone structure. I want to display you!” ● Shizuki Karasuma (CV: Koori Natsuno) A second-year student at Oukou Art Academy. She is the heir of the large corporation, Karasuma Group. The Karasuma family is a rival of Reina’s family, the Oukou, and they don’t get along well. Currently, she is working her way up at the company’s art auction, elegantly wielding the auction hammer in a dress every night. Her appearance is refined and beautiful, yet somehow reminiscent of a death sentence. This impression is further supported by her “cold” demeanor at the academy. It’s not uncommon for her to acquire companies where her classmates’ parents work. However, there are many mysteries, including her resemblance to Mizuki (Nobuki)’s childhood friend. “Apologize immediately and bow down. Otherwise, jump out the window.” ● Yukari Inui (CV: Saori Yukito) A first-year student at Oukou Art Academy. She is an adorable junior, like a puppy. Extremely shy, she runs away at the slightest touch on her shoulder. However, once she picks up a brush, she transforms boldly. In reality, she is a genius artist, said to appear once every ten years, having won numerous awards both domestically and internationally. Contrary to her delicate appearance, she creates large installations using scrap materials like iron pipes, which are many times her size. Sometimes, she gets overly carried away while painting… “If you’re embarrassed, senpai, I’ll take off my clothes and draw too!” ● Akie Nekonishi (CV: Soyogi Touno) The head maid managing the Oukou dormitory. She is a good understanding figure for Reina and acts like an older sister. She is the only key person who knows that Mizuki (Nobuki) is a boy. Her age is unknown, but her calm demeanor has a persuasive quality that makes even adults straighten up. On the other hand, she possesses the courage and playfulness to easily perform party tricks. “If you underestimate the maids of Oukou, I’ll teach you a painful lesson. Right, Mizuki-chan?” ● Johan Alexeyevich Idinarok (CV: Mio Sakuragawa) A professor at Oukou Art Academy. He is Mizuki (Nobuki) and Reina’s homeroom teacher. Despite his youthful appearance, he is a legitimate teacher at Oukou. He is knowledgeable about the history of Western swords and firearms, primarily teaching antique appraisal. His charming looks are very popular among female students… but he seems to be dissatisfied with being treated like a child. Surprisingly hot-tempered, he overreacts to words like “short,” “child,” and “baby,” sometimes throwing nearby melee weapons as a reaction. He is Anastasia’s younger brother. “Shut up during class, you! Be quiet, or I’ll kill you.” ● Hatoru Mizuki (CV: Marino Kawashi) Mizuki (Nobuki)’s older sister. A charismatic contemporary artist and entrepreneur. Initially, she was part of the Japanese painting world but left due to circumstances, becoming an outlaw. Now she has established her own brand “HATORA” and is active worldwide. Her personality is calm and collected, speaking little, and she is a sharp individual who does not yield to any authority. A self-proclaimed narcissist, she shows no interest in anyone's work but her own. Ironically, this arrogant attitude has garnered overwhelming support from young people, especially female students, who find her “cool,” “thrilling,” and “admirable.” “Huh? You think you can buy my painting with such pathetic money? Come back two days ago.” ● Mizuki Miyama (real name / Mizuki Nobuki) (CV: Hana Kiriyama) The protagonist of this story. An ordinary boy. His older sister Hatoru has been forcing him to cross-dress since childhood, claiming it stimulates her artistic sensibility. Trained not only in clothing but also in gestures and speech, he is far cuter than the average girl, though he is unaware of it. In contrast to his arrogant sister, he has a modest and reserved personality, being very quiet. Additionally, he is kind and family-oriented, enduring the cross-dressing for the sake of “Hatoru’s success!”—but as her outrageous demands escalated day by day, he finally decided to run away from home. Due to his natural bad luck, he ends up entering a girls' dormitory as a cross-dressing maid and attending an all-girls school... “M-Maid!? Wait a minute, I’m a boy!”
