[Requests Accepted] [AXL] Like a Butler リニューアルパッケージ [VJ009663]

**■□■Story■□■** …In that town, there exists an academy for ultra-celebrities that far exceeds imagination. Private Ohoshi Kou Academy—also known as the High Tuition Institute. With admission fees, tuition, and donations equivalent to those amounts combined, the total easily surpasses hundreds of millions. Moreover, the entrance examination is strict, and it's not just a matter of having money to get in. Only the chosen wealthy offspring are permitted to attend this special academy. That is the High Tuition Institute. Such news that the "High Tuition Institute" was recruiting scholarship students exempt from all tuition and fees spread throughout Japan one winter. A boy named Kazuki Narumi, who lived in a small apartment in Ohoshi Town, thought such news was "a matter of another world" and had no particular interest in it, leading an ordinary daily life. His interests were primarily in frugal living, simple yet delicious meals, and the new life he would begin in a boarding boys' school come spring... In other words, he was a commoner by any standard. He was the type who patiently awaited the moment fresh produce went on sale at the supermarket, an everyday, ordinary commoner. However, fate would toy with him and those connected to him. The scholarship recruitment at the High Tuition Institute— Out of a total of 85,000 applicants, only one was accepted. That successful candidate was none other than Kazuki's childhood friend, Kanade Yumino, who was also the daughter of the apartment's landlord. "W-What should I do, Kazuki-chan!?" What was supposed to be just a commemorative exam turned into an unexpected acceptance, leaving the childhood friend in a fluster. She was anxious about heading off alone to a world completely unknown to her. …Up to this point, it was still a matter of "other people's business" for Kazuki Narumi. Days later, an admission guide arrived at Kanade's place. The words written in it shocked both Kazuki and Kanade. "Female students are required to be accompanied by a butler." Kazuki and Kanade could hardly hide their astonishment at the unfamiliar customs of this celebrity academy. And then Kanade—seriously, with both hands together—pleaded with Kazuki. "Kazuki-chan, I beg you, please be my butler!" Should he heed her 1216th "once-in-a-lifetime request" or not... After much deliberation, considering Kanade's anxious and lonely demeanor, Kazuki ended up agreeing to her request. Thus, in April, Kanade and Kazuki entered the High Tuition Institute. What the two of them witnessed was a world far beyond common sense, filled with luxurious carriages and elegant ox-drawn carts. A story of commoners thrown into a world of celebrities, and the sudden encounters with celebrity offspring who now had to interact with commoners, as they crossed paths, mingled, and cultivated friendships. Can they successfully navigate student life in this absurd academy? The chaotic drama of Kazuki and Kanade's struggles now begins. **■□■Characters■□■** ● Kanade Yumino (CV: Miyami Arisugawa) A girl and childhood friend of Kazuki, her family owns the apartment where Kazuki lives. She prides herself on being a reliable older sister to her younger brothers and the neighbors, but it seems Kazuki only sees her as a little sister. Her eagerness to help anyone resembles that of a puppy. In times of real trouble, she only makes "once-in-a-lifetime requests" to Kazuki (currently recorded at 1216 times). Her Cinderella-like poor techniques repeatedly astonish the surrounding celebrities. "Please, be my butler!" ● Sarasa Ohoshi (CV: Yukari Aoyama) The next head of the Ohoshi family, she holds authority just below the chairman of the academy. No one can defy her at the academy; she is truly the top of the top among young ladies. Although she is only a first-year student, she has an overwhelming presence and tends to keep others at a distance. She often gets into arguments with the protagonist, who approaches her presumptuously, saying, "Who do you think I am?" While she has countless acquaintances, she has no friends and believes she doesn't need any. She cannot resist sweets, and her eyes light up when she sees them. "I am Sarasa Ohoshi. It’s only natural I excel." ● Sarah Appleton (CV: Elena Uehara) A first-year student and the daughter of the world's hotel magnate, she embodies American justice that loves to "fight fairly." She is cheerful and has a slightly silly, cute side. She seems eager to hang out with the protagonist and Kanade, often coming to their class during breaks despite being in the next class. She misunderstands Japanese culture in many ways, boldly using "date" and "arranged marriage" as synonyms, among other incorrect knowledge. "This is the first time I've met a butler like you." ● Mizuho Akitsuhara (CV: Risa Matsuda) A maid of the Rokumon family. Although she is a first-year student, she studies at the third-year level alongside her master. She is a talented girl who has never been seen making a mistake as a maid. With a sharp wit and a smile, she might casually say something dark like, "You should just die," but at heart, she is a good person who secretly supports the protagonists. She does have a slight concern about her petite height and size. "Kazuki-kun should just die♪"
