Shizune Tsurumi — Ami Koshimizu (Yang Xiao Long from RWBY: Ice Queendom). Shizune is one of Hinako’s cool maids. She acts as Itsuki’s drill instructor, giving him both caretaker and self-defense lessons.

The Rich Girl Caretaker Appears to Save the Day

Itsuki Tomonari is a hard-working high school student with a poor lot in life. His parents do nothing but spend his earnings on gambling while contributing nothing to the household. They take things a step too far and abandon him with nothing but the clothes on his back. Just as he’s thinking about a path forward in life, he meets a cute girl from a rich high school. But oh dear, masked men tie her up and shove her into a van. Then they grab him because he witnessed their brazen daylight kidnapping.

Hinako Konohana is the heiress to a powerful Japanese zaibatsu, making her an ideal target for various types of criminals. As such, she’s not really phased by her predicament. A Konohana SWAT team rescued them and brought Itsuki back to her manor. Her father offered him a job as Hinako’s new caretaker. He’s the only one she can relax around, making him the perfect fit for the job. The new job affords him a generous pay packet, room and board in a mansion, and a free ride at a prestigious private school. He just has to deal with Hinako’s cute tendencies and possible ambushes by criminals.
