Story: I got into this anime because of my friend in college, Neeraj. He's one of the only guys I know who is interested in shojo type manga/anime, and when he found out that was my favorite genre, he recommended me this. My other friends and I actually watched a few episodes together, and while they were watching Fate, I was in my room finishing this. There's not much story to this. It's basically about four girls and a guy in some made up club at their high school, and they do random shit. It's one of those. Normally, I wouldn't be up to something like this unless it's super funny. This show is very funny, but there are some moments where I'm just, "What the fuck is this shit?" Something kept me from stop watching this whole in general, but I can't put my finger on what it is. It's not the best slice of life I've seen, but it's not bad either. I rate this portion an 8 out of 10.

Art: The art is very cutesy because it's meant for girls, but guys can watch it, too (i.e. Neeraj). I don't see anything that distastes me in this department. I mean the evil looks on the girls' faces and the shocked expressions on Kyoya's are always enjoyable to see. I'd rate this 10/10.

Sound: This anime has one opening and four endings songs. Two of the four ending songs and the opening are annoying as hell. They are so annoying that they aren't even enjoyable. The only songs I like in this anime are the second ending and the last ending that's played the rest of the episodes, starting episode I forgot. Out of those two, the last ending song is my favorite. For those reasons, I'd rate this a 6 out of 10.

Character: There are five main characters: Kyoya, Mao, Megumi, Kirara, and Shion. Kyoya is the only boy in the GJ Club, and he's clearly the character who has to suffer through the girls' antics in every episode. It's slice of life, so you should expect crazy shit to happen. Mao is the president of the GJ Club, and she is the shortest girl, which you will clearly see that it's a shortcoming. Outside of school, she is seen as an elementary school student, which really pisses her off. Megumi is Mao's little sister, and she prepares tea for every club meeting. She is very cute, but she gets pissed off about her weight. I'm assuming Kirara is one of those American students that decided to live in Japan for her high school years. Her last name gives it away; plus, she has a little sister, Geraldine, who can really speak Japanese, but she writes in it very well. Then, we have Shion, who has a clan full of big brothers who are very good at the jobs they have. She's also a genius, but she hates to show it off. Out of all the girls, I would say that Mao is the most annoying. I know you're probably going to yell at me about why I'm picking on the leader of the club, but she says she hates being older and shorter than her sister, but she acts like a complete child. The other girls are enjoyable though. I rate this section 9 out of 10.

Enjoyment: Not only is this anime a slice of life, it's also a comedy. Some of the activities Kyoya has to go through are very funny, but there are times when you feel bad for him because he didn't deserve to get beaten up or having to be the center of attention. Sometimes, they are hiliarous. Other times, you hate the girls for it. There are some moments when they make some female sex jokes, but I don't find them funny half of the time. Still, I'd go for 9/10 on the scale.

Overall: Adding the numbers up, the main score is a rounded up 8/10.
