About Servant x Service

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Servant x Service deserves a look (2013). The setup goes like this. At its core: Frustrating, insufficient, and irritating is how most citizens would describe civil servants. However, three new employees are about to discover what really happens behind the scenes.

More of the story: Lucy Yamagami, bent on revenge against the civil servant who allowed her comically long name to be put on her birth certificate; Yutaka Hasebe, an easygoing guy always on the lookout for a place to slack off; and Saya Miyoshi. They are supposed to be trained by Taishi Ichimiya, but he has no idea how to do so, even though he has worked there for eight years. With an incompetent senior colleague and unfavorable confrontations with clients, the trio sets off to lose faith in their chosen occupation but encourage each other to do their best.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
