I don't see any allegory about modernity or some illustrious writer doing something below himself. All I see is a funny anime, that makes me laugh with good jokes. Kawaii characters, a girl in love, comic variety, and a certain freshness away from the everyday isekai or romcom.

It's romantic in its own sense, but that doesn't seem to be what it's about. What it's about is being funny, like the bobobos of days long past, but highly structured, sophisticated, and generally brilliant. I've never seen an anime with quite the comic punch, the loss for words, the macha milk spewing from the nose gold that ... this anime brings. Thousands of hours of my life I have poured into the comedy genre of Anime, this takes the cake.

Not the most beautiful, not the best drawn, not my favorite story of all time, but the funniest thing I've ever seen come out of the entire continent of Asia. I was absolutely floored. One could argue that there may be some meaning to this comic dynamite, I will not. Banba is unrelatable, none of the characters are relatable, not Chimatsuri-sensei, not Kaoru, nor Maki, and especially not Mai. Why would you want to relate to anyone of a comedy show where people are embarrassing themselves left and right is beyond me. What these characters are, instead, is hilarious unknown, one-shot, first-time-ever tropes that completely break the mold in every single aspect.

None of you reading this, no one on earth, has ever seen a single one of these characters before in any anime. It's fresh, a new experience, which adds so many levels of enjoyment and entertainment that it's beyond the scope of what was previously thought even possible. This combines with the absolute gold comedy that will have you gasping for breath more than Michael Phelps after a complete underwater gold-medal winning free-swim 3-lap Olympic race. That is the only reason why this fits up in my heart with Bebop, Monogatari, and so few others as a true, unique, 10/10

Four romance stories combined into one with their own nuances and quirky cast of characters; this Anime is truly something precious to behold. Each girl is finely crafted like a set of Bavarian dolls not beheld to the typical tropes that plague the current anime landscape. The soft-spoken yet not at all shy Mayu-chan, the outgoing Hikari-chan with a tough exterior yet bashful true colors, the innocent and loving Kana-chan who knows how to keep it classy, and the misunderstood Chizuru-chan always working hard to better her ability to communicate. These girls are carefully crafted to avoid the pitfalls that a typical series might fall ... into and provide a comically fresh atmosphere.

To those that enjoy situational comedy as I do, this should be a perfect fit. To those who spent their childhood days fantasizing about their favorite big busted teachers, this is not a great fit. The craftsmanship of the girls is of course spot on, but the sensei element is only prevalent in the Valentine's day story close to the end of the series, one small moment of sensei, and that's all you get. If you were to take out the Sensei from the name and just make this about four separate high school girls, the plots wouldn't have changed much at all. None of the teachers, minus Chizuru-chan, actually cared about their occupation at all. It took me multiple episodes to even realize that Hikari onee-san was a P.E. teacher at all, and not just Takashi-san's childhood friend. The sensei element in this is completely missing, but of course, that doesn't matter much.

The point of this anime is four romance stories, and each is actually very heart warming and touching in their own way. The build-up to confessions, the wholesome trust building, the atmospheric romance of the dates, and all the laughs along the way were all well above par. Is it realistic? No. But is it good? Yes, very good. Also, very original at that, most romantic comedies follow a set of strict guidelines, the flirting, the test of courage, the fight, the apology, the makeup, the confession, that's gone. Feelings come out as they should naturally, not out of some forced situation, and that's something great this has that much else doesn't. Nothing here is forced, it's a natural progression of events that flow from one another in a reasonable and original way. This provides situations that almost make you tear up how much you want something to be said and how it's actually done right then and there, instead of sat on and milked like a typical romance. As a romance, on its own if you were to remove the comedy aspect entirely, this show would still get an 8/10. The comedy is gold, but keeps the show rested on the score it could get without the comedy, because in the end, this show doesn't need to be funny to be good, it already is good.

So, if you are looking for something wholesome to cozy up to in a blanket and watch while drinking coffee; if you want an original cast of very high quality girls, if you want to laugh and cry and feel accomplished after watching something good that isn't a waste of time, this is the right anime for you. Respect, admiration, love, it's here to warm the soul, just don't expect any Sensei.

Also, reading my fellow reviewers, I am shocked and appalled that most could not look past the ecchi and actually read between the lines... As if the content rating wasn't enough to give it away, yes sometimes there's sexually charged scenes, you should get over it and watch it like an adult.
