Being a future educator myself, this story really warmed my heart. I admit, the story is a little bit stupid and, yes, VERY far-fetched. However, you have to be willing to keep an open mind and look deeper, because the truth is, this story is about love, gender equality, and acceptance of others and of the self. Specifically, though, it is about the equal treatment of MEN. I enjoyed that they focused on this, because these days everything is usually about women being mistreated.

The art is nothing special, and neither is the soundtrack. It's like any other school kid drama in that aspect. I wish I had more to say about that.

Let me just get this out of the way: (without giving too much away) YES, the main relationship between two characters is unrealistic and inappropriate under all circumstances. I want to stress that I do not condone that kind of behavior from a grown man. However, to enjoy this show, you have to look past the creepy stuff because, after all, it's just TV. DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE EASILY SHOCKED/DISGUSTED BY SOCIAL SCANDALS. Though you're all anime connoisseurs, so I'm sure you're used to it by now ;)

Weird stuff aside, I can say that the main protagonist, Hibiki, is one of the most admirable characters I have ever encountered. His goal in life is to become a gym teacher and change the lives of children for the better. When he enters Seito Sannomiya Private School disguised as a woman, he enters with the intent of proving a point to the man-hating administration: that people should be judged by their character, not by their gender. As for the school kids, they were actually a very realistic group of middle schoolers. You know.. hormonally messed up, unsure of what's right, impressionable.

I think that the LGBT community (or anyone who supports) would enjoy this because it has themes about accepting sexuality. Really anyone who's into civil rights will enjoy this.
