Great series but discs are a bit buggy.
I really enjoyed this series. One of the best romantic comedies/harem animes I have seen in a long time. If you don't mind a bit of trap/cross-dressing/gender-bending I highly recommend this series.
The down side is though that the subtitles have to be turned on manually on each disc and on disc 3 the everything in the trailers menu doesnt highlight properly so you can't tell which trailer you are selecting.
But as long as you have a subtitle button on your DVD remote and you don't care for trailers too much you should be just fine
Packaging review
Overall a good anime, but i'm not so pleased about this set.... first is that the inside of the case where the discs are housed is extremely thin & they can barely be held in place. Second are the discs themselves & probably why this set only cost me $9, they are so CHEAP! All they did was just slap a plain white sticker with some black text over it, that's it. It's quite sad because i've seen bootleg's that look more convincing and this isn't a bootleg release.
Good anime for a good price, but not so good packaging.
A break from the anime routine
This is one of the few animes series without the bad guys continually getting off of torturing their victims. The humor is light, but picks up a lot in the last chapter, a fairy tales parody. The central character, Mizuho, has very high standards and develops high confidence without becoming arrogant or aggressive, the ideal of the Eastern ideals and values, so soothing...which are not quite commercial.
No wonder why this series didn't make here in the West. Even in the East plenty of the public enjoys quite the opposite characters. At least it fared better in Japan where they recently released the second season with new characters.
