I'm genuinely curious if there really is anyone in real life who falls into this 'cartoonishly bad at cooking' category? Myself haven't encountered any, but what about anyone else here?
I know someone who managed to undercook a instant noodle. you know the stuff that can be cooked in 3 minutes tops . Apparently the noodles was placed while the water is still in room temperature and counted 3 minutes from there.

So is this how the entire manga is going to be? We have a motive for each chapter, and every one of them leads to absolutely nothing? Seems repetitive and boring. What's next, he's going to learn cleaning?

We've done to death the whole "maid-in-love who keeps it together until the MC's just offscreen," but this still feels so fresh, somehow. We've also done the falling-for-Superman-and-Clark-Kent thing to death, even if this time one version's tsundere and the other's kuudere.

But it's so fluffy and earnest in what it's doing that I'm delighted by little details like him getting slapped in a montage for trying to add strawberries to the curry, and cheering for this girl to get a happy ending despite the stupid misunderstandings I just KNOW are coming.
Yeah there is going to be bound to be plenty of misunderstandings especially if he starts to have feelings for Maria you might get confused about who he loved when subconsciously he realizes their same person but consciously he hasn't figured it out there'll be quite mix in his head. Very do I like Clark Kent or superman

This manga is the epitome of, "I have too much food to eat and life is too good."

His hottie maid who is head over heels in love with him is the same girl he is deeply in love with in school, and he doesn't know they are the same person.

Though props to the artist to make the Blond Hair, Blue Eyes the real girl, and she is cosplaying as this perfect Yamato Nadeshiko at school.

Cartoonish bad at cooking is such an infuriating trait for me. Most people seems to just find it comedic, but it's a pet peeve for me.

Real people that are bad at cooking are because they don't have much experience. They don't know how a taste will be affected by how much heat you cook things, or how to do certain steps properly. Stuff that can be fixed with practice and experience.

Anime bad at cooking is just straight up "I wanna strangle you" stupidity. Like, there's no way you're not doing that on purpose. It's not stuff that can be fixed with "practice" until you have bandages in your hand. It's like telling someone instructions to press the red button, and they poke their own eye out. Like come on dude. The problem isn't cooking at that point.

How come he can't tell it's her all she did was put on a wig...
Yeah, that's kind of the weak point in all of these 'heroine has a secret life" type stories. Like no one notices that Clark Kent is 6'4" and has a crafted physique. If nothing else, he'd notice similarity in voice, or think, "why do my maid and my classmate wear the same perfume?"

I know nothing of 'bandages on hands' but basic common sense failures I've seen plenty of. For example someone putting one of those old foam noodle cups in the microwave until it's done... without having put in any water (the result was a burnt mess that we could smell for days).
Or substituting flour for salt because they're both white "and the flour doesn't taste like anything" then being angry the sludge never became pancakes.

The difference between cooking and IT, is that unlike your work PC, there's generally no department you can angrily call and blame for your cooking.

I’ve encountered people who confuse salt and sugar all the time if that counts.

The thing I love is the fact that he has bandages all over the hand he's holding the knife with. Like... how do you manage to cut the hand that's holding the knife handle.
You never know, maybe you somehow have a better handling of a knife in your other hand and he just had to test if this was true... several times.

Okay so her hair is naturally blonde. Then her real identity is probably that of the maid? Seriously who is this high schooler to he faking her identity just to watch over the next family head. That'd be an interesting backstory. And like... is she okay? I mean she'll graduate and like not have a diploma in her name 😅. It'd suck if the family went bankrupt and she lost her job.

My girlfriend. Not exactly the same way as in manga/anime, and she actually does know how to cook, better than me in fact. But oftentimes she feels like experimenting without even having so much as an estimate on how things might turn out, when we just want to eat a normal meal. I wouldn't say the food turns out disastrous, but it doesn't taste like what I'd describe as "good." Though one case did almost make me throw up. And the kitchen looks like a warzone afterwards, regardless of whether she followed the normal recipe or decided to be chaotic. Which is why I do most of the cooking. When it's her turn, I repeatedly tell her not to experiment, to... varying results.
