Sometimes I just need something light-hearted and this fit the bill.
That said, if you are looking for something with a meaty storyline, realistic characters, astounding art and music... then this is not your show.
One thing to take into account, is that each episode is around five minutes long. That doesn't leave much time for plot or character development.
That said, the general storyline is: the main character has just gotten accepted to a sweet making academy. At this prestigious school, there are several handsome young men teachers. The strict principal does her best to make sure none of the students and teachers get into an inappropriate relationship...
The characters are mainly flat archetypes--the helpful best friend, the quiet elegant traditional Japanese sweet maker. There were some hints of further development, mentions of the characters families, or what they wanted to do in the future, but again, this was stifled by the time restraint. The main character is the typical 'I will try hard to reach my dream' sort of girl. Nothing about her stood out in particular, but nothing about her annoyed me in particular either.
I did find the character designs cute. Again, the art is not realistic or blow-me-away amazing. However it is sparkly and appealing to look at.
Overall, if you like dessert and (depending on your taste) pretty boys, then give this show a watch.
