Story: 7/10
The idea of the story is pretty decent. A combat android switching from goddess of war mode to a peaceful maid and serve a high school boy. The manga goes in a slice of life kind of pace, with plenty of ecchi moments and nice laughs. The plot of the first half of the series seem like a pure slice of life/romantic comedy sort of sense. But as you read deeper into the series it becomes a more serious turns as plot is quickly developed, but not in a rush that leaves you confused. The chapters are usually standalone chapters, very similar to a slice of life, and narrates the new life Suguru now have. Every now and then there is a serious turn as a new enemy appears and Mahoro has to fight it. Most of the times they are not serious battles. And after the battle, the peaceful comedic nature of the manga returns.
Art: 5/10
The artwork is really plain. The main characters are detailed just enough to distinguish them as the main characters, while background and supporting characters barely have any details at all.
Character: 7/10
The character development of the main characters Mahoro and Suguru is well done. The first few volumes make it seem like a typical slice of life/romantic comedy that would have little character development. But as the series goes on, character development is quickly achieved and done pretty well. The supporting characters on the other hands have almost zero character development. Mainly the supporting characters are just there as either fanservice or as part of a comedic gag.
Enjoyment: 8/10
The series was pretty enjoyable. It was filled with laughable moments along with heartwarming moments. The only part that may have been a problem was the last chapter/epilogue that may cause some confusion, but beside that, the plot is pretty straight forward and is easy to understand. Though, it could cut down on the fanservice a little bit. And some comedic gag was pretty repetitive, but overall it was a pretty fun read.
Overall: 7/10
Mahoromatic is a romantic comedy/slice of life manga filled with many surprises. Most of the chapters are standalone at first and seems like there is no plot development, but as you read on, it nicely develop into a decent plot, without the reader feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the sudden seriousness of the situation. The jokes it has are pretty decent, and the main character development are also quite heartwarming and done at a nice pace. Overall this is a manga series with decent plot that you should give it a shot if you like a nice paced romantic comedy/slice of life manga.
