If you're looking for a revolutionary high school scenario with extensive development and a solid story fueled with both dramatic and comedic moments, turn away now! As a very short series with each episode only being half the length of most; this show lacks all of the above. Although the main female character is unique in a way with her haiku form of communication, this anime falls into most wholesome tropes in high school anime. The plot is almost nowhere to be found to be honest, it's ridiculously simple and cliched, revolving around a group of characters that all belong to a club which is the focus for most of the run time. Consider this show almost like a depiction of activities that this said club undergo with minimal connections or progression apart from the relationships between the characters which still don't get enough development due to this anime's length!
The character development in this show is non-existent with most characters literally remaining the same throughout every episode. Each character falls into specific tropes e.g. a cute shy high school girl that everyone will later lewd and a delinquent who actually has a very kind personality and has never really been in a fight. Yes, it's familiarity might be good for some people but it honestly bores me a little that there is no creativity with the anime's characters. However, I don't dislike any of them and combined with the simplistically yet fitting art, it actually makes you not care too much about this lack of character progress and retention as most of the show is eye candy!
Honestly, the art is the only thing that I would consider being good, it's consistent and well drawn with common but distinguishable designs and backgrounds. In addition to the art, the animation itself isn't mind blowing but relatively clean and acceptable for the genre! Moreover, the rest of the production is average to decent with some voice acting or lack of it not being too well done despite a solid soundtrack and two great songs at the start and end of each episode!
Honestly, this anime is basic and isn't anything special, yet, I enjoy it as a bridge between two better shows this season, thus, I consider it a cool down anime. After an episode of Bungou Stray Dogs, I always look to relieve the intensity of the episode by watching Senryuu Shoujo before I'm ready to watch Fruits Basket and get emotionally molested by it's story and characters.
It's by no means a bad show but it's also not a good one and for that reason, I can't award it anything higher than a 6 (and that's me being generous as it should honestly be a 5!)
