Hanaukyo Maid Tai (15 episodes) and Hanaukyo Maid Le Verite (12 episodes), and yes they need to be noted that way because they are two different stories.

In the "Tai" 15 episode version, our hero Tarou's mother dies and he goes to live with his grandfather. When he arrives at his grandfather's estate he finds that granddad has left for sunnier climes with bikini babes. What he left for Tarou is his business, mansion and about one hundred maids to take care of his every need. Tarou has a large problem however, he has an allergic reaction to girls, and these girls are there to bathe him and help him use the toilet. Teh only girl that doesn't make him sick is Mariel, teh head maid of the household. Basically the rest of the story is fan service, and ends without resolution at episode 15. Why episode 15? Because the maid in charge of technology wanted to tape her favorite anime show, and the only tape at hand was episodes 16, 17 and 18. This one is for fun.

Le Verite, 12 episodes, has basically the same characters but with an addition or two. Again Tarou arrives at grandfather's mansion to be greeted by all the maids. But this time he is not allergic to girls, and even accepts the "help" in the bath and bed. Mariel is there as chief maid, but she has a secret that Tarou uncovers. Tarou is wise beyond his years in his dealings with the maids and building trust with them. This series is a real love story.

Enjoy both.
