Ok so main characters are Kinjiro Sakamachi, guy who has extreme gynophobia, or fear of women and cross-dressing girl Subaru Konoe who wants to be a butler like her father so she has to hide her gender. Kinjiro accidentally learns Subaru's secret and is forced by her master Kanade Suzutsuki to keep it secret from the rest of the school. Suzutsuki has sadistic tendencies but she is also interested in curing Kinjiro's gynophobia that causes nosebleed and fainting if he even touches a girl so she is not all-bad despite her sadism, she also deeply cares for her butler Subaru.
Story 7: Kinjiro and Subaru become friends and develop romantic feelings for each other that everyone can see, but all sorts of other girls also appear to Kinjiro's life (this is harem after all) and of course cause him a lot of nosebleed. Funny thing is that since no one knows that Subaru is girl (which is actually obvious) everyone thinks her and Kinjiro as gay lovers. Subaru-sama is very loved among girls of the school and she(or he) as not one but two fan clubs, another one dresses like Ku Klux Klan- probably reference to similar joke in Baka to Test. It is pretty obvious that only Subaru has chances with Kinjiro so harem feels pretty pointless and I think this story would have been better as romantic comedy. Moments with other girls mainly feel like pointless fanservice. There is a lot of ecchi and at times it follows completely crazy anime logic. Like when in the first episode Kinjiro accidentally fells on top of Subaru and all her buttons come undone in a blink of an eye to reveal her breasts.... that's ridiculous even in ecchi anime. Kinjiros relationship with Subaru actually develops in a nice manner though. Huge problem is the final episode of the season that ruins the development by making a side character Nakuru Narumi (Fujoshi girl who supports KinjiroxSubaru romance) part of his harem. This was extremely bad way to end the show since it ruins the feeling of development Kinjiro reached with Subaru in the second last episode and all those episodes prior that.
So if you are not that interested in Nakuru's character or harem aspect I recommend you skip the last episode!
Art 6: Nothing very bad, pretty good looking anime. Character designs are rather generic and I personally was bothered by the fact that they didn't even try to make Subaru to look like a boy when she is cross-dressing. She has long hair and cute ribbons and stuff while she is supposedly looking like a boy. If they wanted long hair but boyish look I think long simple ponytail would have been better option. Now she looks more like a very girly boy - a trap who is surprisingly really a girly girl and no trap.... or some kind of fake-trap....double trap- or Trap-trap... Admiral Ackbar would be proud.
Sound 6: Nothing too special. Opening and ending songs were ok. Voice acting was pretty good. Subaru especially sounds a lot like a boy while she doesn't look like it. That saves part of believability of this cross-dressing plot. At times she sounds like girl as well when she is not acting like a butler. This was well done. Other VA:s are ok.
Character 6: Main character is mainly a generic nice guy, but extreme gynophobia makes him a bit unique. He has an actual reason to be afraid of lucky pervert moments. Thanks to her violent wrestler sister he can also take a lot of physical damage. His name has a pun of chicken, but he is definitely not the worst coward in anime history. Subaru is a bit of a tsundere at first, but she becomes sweet towards Kinjiro pretty fast. She haven't had any friends before so she is very happy to befriend with Kinjiro and quickly realizes she wants even more. Overall I did find her rather likable character, she has clear motivations, she acts in a way that is surprisingly realistic for anime character and develops feelings for Kinjiro in rather natural way. Other characters include Subaru's master Kanade, sadistic rich girl who was bit frustrating at times and Kinjiro's little sister Kureha who "tests" wrestling moves to her brother daily, being the main cause of his gynophobia. She still loves his brother deeply in non-incest kind of way and is attracted to Subaru whom she thinks is a boy like everyone else. Because this is harem there are also other "options" for Kinjiro like Masamune Usami, textbook tsundere and character I don't think this show really needed, same with Nakuru Narumi, big busted and cat-eared fujoshi girl. Nakuru is alright as side character, kinda fun, but her attraction to Kinjirou felt forced to me and addition to harem in the last episode felt wrong to me. I really liked the joke about Masamune's apartment being haunted. Ghosts were just chilling out there and she paid no attention to them, that was so unexpected visual gag that it was kinda clever.
Enjoyment 7: It was alright show, ecchi and humour, cute and funny stuff. Enjoyable.
Overall 6: Main idea was nice, Kinjirou and Subaru were a good couple that developed nicely, ecchi was not bad, but at times it was too unbelievable. Harem-aspect was the biggest weakness of this show, there were not much actual competition between the girls, Subaru was the only real option for Kinjirou, so would've been better without this forced harem-aspect. Sure most girls didn't know Subaru is a girl too but that would only make Jiro look gay and any attempts by girls hopeless. Especially that last episode made failure of this as harem comedy clear and I recommend that if you like JiroXSubaru more than forced attempt of harem leave that one out.
