Well this is a typical mild fanservice anime. It really just does what it says on the tin: there are no school days type OH MY GOD moments to surprise you. Ive given it a good rating because it really is just a very fun bit of light entertainment. I would say its a long way off the excessive fanservice of some animes but gives a little more eyecandy than, say, Love Hina. Haruka IS a very good perfect-girl type character and, though sometimes cringefully too perfect and shy and vulnerable, she is quite interesting.
Occassionally, i do wish the plot was more compelling but I think that would probably detract from the gentle romance. AND I MEAN GENTLE. Seriously, if this were real life, there wouldnt be such a thing as rape because everyone would be so good to each other. But seriously, JUST KISS!!!!!!! ARRRGH: why can't they do it!
Besides Haruka, the characters are generally in my opinion at best mediocre. Probably out of jealousy, I have irrational hatred of Yuuto: (to Yuuto) why do you exist????? (to quote Naruto abridged); stop existing!! The maids are alright but Mika's a psychopath and seriously (and this something I have against all anime) she must be like twelve or something, right?(14 at most) Its not fanservice if the girls are so young: its just wrong.
Anyway, I would still have given it nine even if all the episodes were complete crap: the santa claus outfits made me do it.
