Shoujo Sungay (Maid Sama Eps 3-5)

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika discuss episodes 3-5 of Maid Sama!. These episodes shed light on the importance of accepting and respecting people of all gender and sexualities, normalizing pronouns, and correcting people when they use incorrect pronouns.
Delving deeper into Misaki's job at Maid Latte, we're presented with pristinely-timed humor blended with themes of great leadership, friendship, and even a bit of...flirting? Calling it flirting is questionable (and you'll see why), but, to be honest, much of this show is questionable thus far...
Giana and Chika address the boys' oversexualizing of Misaki, middle schoolers being net idols (influencers), and the occasional ode to BDSM. They also share their candid thoughts on the weird, almost incestuous, vibes that Maid Latte's "Little Sister Day" gives off, as well as the persistent lack of faculty in Seika High School."To be honest, me and the faculty at Seika High have beef, and we'll figure out if it gets better when the series goes on." - Chika SupremeIf you take away anything from episodes 3-5 of Maid Sama!, take these sweet little cherries on top:

You can do anything if you set your mind to it, especially when you have a support system behind you.
Perseverance outside of our comfort zone can lead to success.
Being yourself is the most important thing.
Be vigilant when going out and about because you never know what can happen!
