#Mysterious Disappearances, You Are Ms. Servant & More Celebrate Maid Day on May 10
Table of Contents
Following the unique Japanese holidays of Confession Day and Goku Day, May 10 in Japan is unofficially recognized as Maid Day. The special occasion honoring those in frilly maid uniforms is based on a pun that stems from the Japanese pronunciation of the date as “mei-do.”
Japanese anime, manga, light novels, and video games have all featured maids in a wide variety of roles and characteristics. Naturally, a few anime series, creators, and entertainers paid tribute to Maid Day by releasing special visuals.
Here are some of the highlights of the Maid Day festivities:
Mysterious Disappearances
