This is why i love voting system

I'm shocked that Volley-bu-chan against it when Ai will be full on display for everyone and not just her?

It was probably before they told her she would be wearing one too.

Volley-bu-chan is totally supporting it. She is voting for it

i REALLY want to see Volly-bu-chan in in a maid costume!

The thought bubble is going to her, too. She's totally in support.

OK, so the supplementary tweets' gist is the following:

Tweet #1: Himura Kiseki says that he leans towards the "Goshujin-sama faction" over the "Danna-sama faction"; presumably, he's referring to his preferences regarding the term that a maid should use towards her "master". Not sure how to reflect this in English, though; both terms are more or less synonyms in English in the sense of a maid's master.

Tweet #2: Apparently, Himura couldn't settle on what style of maid outfit to use between "classic-type", "family-type" or "cosplay-type", so he just threw it all in, thus the middle panel.

I don't usually bother with Himura posts, if not for some recent concerns, so when I saw this pop in the comments feed...

"Danna-sama" over "Goshujin-sama". He said:

私は「ご主人様」よりも「旦那様」派です

AよりもB means "B rather than A". 「よりも」 is just a more emphatic form of 「より」.

Here's a bunch of sentence examples.

Tip: If you unsure about 「ＡよりＢ...」, reword* it to 「ＢのほうがＡより...」, the familiar form usually taught in Japanese 101 textbooks.

(*Mentally, because it's sometimes actually awkward to include the ほう)

Also, when used by a maid, I'd translate 「ご主人様」 as "master" and 「旦那様」 as "sir". Sir is the appropriate way for a Edwardian/Victorian-era maid to address the master of a household, and 「旦那様」 likewise is used to translate this in JP translations of English/European novels. "Master [Name]" is instead used by servants to address the younger sons of a household (eldest get "Mister"), making its use similar to ぼっちゃま.

「ご主人様」 is popularized by more recent works (usually those catering to otaku). It's also the more popular term nowadays, judging by a recent google search.

This thread should prove illuminating. It's in Japanese though.

「ファミレス」 is family restaurant, basically the Japanese equivalent of diners. If they wear 'maid' uniforms it's going to be the simplified kind (or just maid inspired headdresses/aprons) for cost and practicality reasons.

Man Volley-bu will need to make bullshit levels of persuasion to make Ai agree on wearing it

Persuasion not creeping her out more.

She would wear one if her breast-button receiving love interest was watching

I meant to ask why Volley-bu-chan wasn't against it.. but since it got quoted before I had the chance to fix the typo I had to let it stay. I mean, seeing how Volley-bu-chan always wants to monopolize Ai-chan for herself exclusively. Even to drive off a news crew on live TV.

@NNescio: Constructive feedback is always appreciated. To be honest, I have no idea why my mind incorrectly parsed the structure of the first tweet. Thanks for the correction.

Hindsight is 20/20, most recent getsuyoubi no tawawa, is the culture festival and the class' maid cafe...

Volly-bu-chan is a maid server and Ai-chan gets to hide in the back cooking, I bet she is so frustrated she didn't get to see her goddess in maid cosplay.

Not quite sure Ai-chan with glasses and bespectacled goes hand in hand ... I think there are a few older posts where Ai is using one and not flagged as bespectacled :/
