Well story wise this is one of those anime that start off with the standard ecchi plot single guy in high school has about as much experience with girls as half of the intended target audience. There is a couple of jokes thrown in here and there but not always sexual. Maybe someone actually got their heads around that otakus aren't (all ) just after an anime where cleavage bounce around like posessed melons and panty shots actually increase art and storyline.
The main character Junpei slowly develops a harem and has to figure out which girl he likes the most, just like every harem anime ever invented. And like all harem protagonists Junpei lacks any ability to decide who or what he is after, as he is deciding to look for the one girl he saw on the school roof who happened to have strawberries on her panties which of course like any Japanese man in anime (or reality?) has some sort of immediate visual recognition software installed in his brain which lock on to said fabric on the girl and the anime decided this is time to start the story.
Kudos to him for having an aim, but the fact that panties were involved as a plot device in the story of the manga and anime makes me laugh as though someone catapulted a squirrel cruelly over a garden fence when they realised I was watching. I found it funny but I feel bad for laughing.
Unlike most harem anime. The characters progress with their story lines and it doenst always go well for any of them all of the time. There are Breakups and fallouts which is good to see. Anime like your To love ru and Rosario vampire to list a couple. Are bland in the idea of relationships. No permanent relationship scars or any progression. With most harem you could just lock them all in a house and there would be no difference from one episode to the next. Constant pantie shots and girl fights that get stopped as soon as protagonist dude gets throttled to death in cleavage like a James bond assassin was present.
The art was as good as any and had a decent look. Sound was ok. I didn't want to cover my ears over screeching voice actors or sound effects. Opening song was ok as the closing. If I heard it I could place it.
As for ichigo. I'd recommend watching the anime first. Read if you enjoyed it. The anime is cut down and the manga is improved in ways that only a book could.
