This is a pleasant comedy about five typically "outsider" female characters working their way through some of the issues of female adolescence. It's episodic each episode being broken down into several anime equivalents of a well written daily comic strip in the funny/cute category, no big laughs but a lot of large smiles. Besides the core five, there are four other characters: the young teacher, primarily there for comic relief, who isn't quite sure if she really wants to be a teacher; the attractive, active young teacher who is the idol of the girls; the non-threatening but creepy, male teacher; and a cleverly blended in sixth girl who's job it is to react and serve as the Greek chorus - observing, explaining and commenting on the action for the audience; in a harem comedy she would have been the male lead.
The lack of any male characters, other than the teacher, who say more than three lines is somewhat jarring as is the absence of a flirtatious female character but their inclusion would have taken the anime in the direction of the typical romantic comedy and the creators obviously didn't want it to go there; by eliminating the characters needed they avoided the issue entirely.
This a well done series that should appeal to most female viewers and any male would had to suffer through adolescence with a teen age daughter or two however, if you're a male looking for fanservice or under thirty, forget it.
