Usui Takumi [Character Review]

Usui Takumi

Character review time! I tried to pull an all-nighter shift re-watching Kaichou wa Maid no Sama and still, it nevel fails to make me feel kilig all over again especially Usui Takumi, so while watching I did some character analysis on him and observe his character all throughout the episode.

Usui Takumi, he is a 17 years old high school student of Seika High School, respected by most boys at school, popular though he doesn’t care about it and he does not seems to enjoy the attentions he gain. He seems uninterested about everything and everyone, he also keeps on rejecting girls blatantly until Ayuzawa Misaki turns his world upside down. Typical story for most shoujo type of anime but this is one of the best so far. 

Usui Being Protective of Misaki

On the first few episodes, I could say that Usui has taken notice of Misaki not because of her beauty but because maybe she’s the only girl who does not paid him so much attention and praises. She only notice him when she reject girls and then that's it. His interest seems to level up when he realize that Misaki is not the type who depends on anyone but rather take all the problems to herself which I guess Usui finds interesting. After he found out that the Student Council President is working as a maid, knows the reason behind it and why she have to lie about her part time job, that’s when he start to keeps on observing her, figuring her out and looking out for her. 

Usui hugging Misaki

Usui is a very great observer, he knows that Misaki is not the type who accept direct help so as much as possible with all the help he could offer, he make it to the point that it will look like some accidental help or just a passerby who happens to be on the site. He even know what she’s up to and what she's about to do. His observation upon her has taken to a different level as the story progress, he began to feel possessive, jealousy and very protective towards Misaki in which he admit. It is also shown that he is in fact knowledgeable about almost everything – a prodigy. Other than jealousy, possessiveness etc., Usui is also very thoughtful of Misaki to the point of kissing another guy and enduring Misaki being so dense (after his sudden confession) just to not make her feel confused and out of focus. He is also an attention seeker towards Misaki that he’ll annoy her to death just to have her attention only for himself. Despite noticing that his own world actually revolve around Misaki to the point I actually think he has no friend – which I think is true – and despite being a snob, he is actually good at getting along with Misaki’s co-worker, friends and family (not the kind that he’ll actually treat them as friends but the kind that he’ll take notice, nod and a good communicator). He also give Misaki's advice on how to treat the boys fairly since Misaki is always in favor of girls.

Jealous Usui

One of the traits I like about Usui is his respect towards Misaki and her competitiveness. He takes her challenge head on, not to prove himself but to show respect on her as an individual and as the only woman who can keep up on him. I like how he support Misaki on almost everything (he just can’t say no towards Misaki) and how he showed that he opposed in his own way.

Usui Kissing Misaki

For me, I think Usui is a type of boyfriend who wouldn’t make you feel suffocated as long as no boys would go take a move towards her girl. He’ll let you do what you needs to do, give you advices, enough space and support you on almost everything. So overall Usui Takumi is one hell of a guy that most girls would wish to be their boyfriend. Ha-ha! But sorry girls, Usui is mi–errr I mean Misaki's Usui.
