Kaichou wa Maid-sama (Student Council Student is a Maid) is a shoujo manga series by Hiro Fujiwara. It is currently serialized in Hakuensha's monthly shoujo manga magazine, Lala. There are currently... 8 published volumes under the Hana to Yume Comics imprint in Japan. (Wiki)

It is being directed by Hiroaki Sakurai and the animation production company is J.C. Staff. This manga adaptation will begin airing in April 2010.

Summary:
Seika High School, once an all-boys school notorious for its wild students and for generally being a terrifying place for girls, has recently become a co-ed school. With the female population still a minority and living in fear of the over-the-top antics of the males, Misaki Ayuzawa takes it into her own hands to reform the school and allow the girls to feel safe in the rough environment.

Training, studying and even becoming the first female student council president of the school, Misaki has gained a reputation among the male students body as an uptight boy-hating dictator and as a shining hope for the teachers and fellow female students. However, despite her tough-as-nails appearance, she secretly works part-time at a maid cafe in order to support her family. Unfortunately, her hard-earned reputation is threatened when the popular and somewhat impassive Usui Takumi takes an interest in her after discovering her in a maid uniform after school. (Wiki)

Thoughts?
Luna: Well, I'll have to check this by default simply because it is shoujo but the premise doesn't sound too exciting. However, the director has worked on titles such as Kodocha (one of my favorites) and Di Gi Charat so I'm hoping he can work his magic to make this special. And I'm a fan of J.C Staff.
