Okay well to be honest since this is a short 18-minute OVA you can only expect so many things to occur. And don't get your hopes too high- what you expect is going to happen IS going to happen. There isn't gonna be any plot twists or sudden developments you didn't expect because you can only put so much story into 18 minutes.
So basically, the story revolves around the same thing that happens in every shoujo-slice of life-romance-school life where popular-guy-meets-average-girl romance. The typical girl who's never experienced love and this whole new experience with the popular guy at school opens up a whole new
...
world you never even thought you would encounter! Wow! Okay let's be real here.
I had a lot of irks from this show that bottom line bothered me- and that's really saying something because I usually watch and read shoujos with no questions asked. Here are some problems:
-It literally felt like Romeo and Juliet because honestly who dates someone they just meet? You practically only know
1. What they look like
2. What their name is
3. What class they're in
4. Have a vague idea of what their personality is like
-There was sparkles. I'm okay with that but there was too many, exaggerated scenes too much
-Their feelings for each other are overblown for such a short span of time they've known each other. Again, Romeo and Juliet?
Art was pretty nice and cute.
Sound was good- bonus points for Hanazawa Kana being a main voice actor.
Character was just the typical shoujo characteristics of the main boy and girl character, so I'm okay with it.
Overall it's a 7/10. If you have free time and want to watch some shoujo anime this one is sort of worth your time. Some things may or may not be questionable as they were for me.

This show was what I looked forward to every Tuesday.
Do you like Naruto? Do you like Naruto Shippuden? (pretty much the same thing, but whatever) Because I like both, and this show was the highlight to my Tuesday whenever I got home from school.
The show just finished yesterday, and honestly, I was gonna cry myself a river because I was so sad it was ending.
Lucky for you, as long as you know the characters in Naruto, you can pick up the show in any episode you want and you would still be able to follow what was going on. It has no definite plot line,
...
just a show centered around Team Guy and a bunch of short stories.
The first 5/6 of the show is the best thing ever. Neji cross dresses all the time, which is amazing to watch if you're a Neji fan and I laughed so hard every time he did because come on, it's Neji for crying out loud! He used to be so serious about his fate and now where is he? Cross dressing. Yes. Tenten has her fan and delivering punchlines all the time to everything stupid Lee does. I was laughing so hard in the first episode when Lee was doing the stupidest training ever, body weaving around this wooden post and sneaking around in a bridge position. It wasn't even that funny, but it just made me laugh so hard. You see Naruto and Lee fighting very often over Sakura, and they make the stupidest jokes, meet Akatsuki, Sasuke, Jiraiya, Ichiraku ramen guy, Gaara, the Raikage and, lots of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru appears a lot in the show, with some other stupid plan to destroy Konoha or just Lee and his friends. Of course, they never go as planned as he always fails and Kabuto wondering why Orochimaru had such a stupid idea in the first place. It's like the bad antagonist that always loses in such an easy manner because the plan wasn't even going to work in the first place. Orochimaru DOES kind of win a battle once, though. Like I said earlier, only 5/6 of the show was okay, because the producers began having difficulty and just putting in more and more Orochimaru episodes, as you could tell they were running out of ideas. The last few episodes were okay, though.
This show is really good for learning about characters. Characters that pass away or don't really appear in the main story are still here and I love that they came back to do an episode or two. You really get to know everyone's personalities, their daily routines, how they react towards each other on a daily basis and relations between each other. This isn't easily portrayed in the main story because it needs to go along with the plot line and fights and whatnot, so this show was awesome.
I particularly love how easy-going Neji is, I learned Lee is crazy although he trains like a madman, Tenten is really well shown as we never hear anything about her in the main story, other than how she fights (Chuunin exams). Naruto is slightly as crazy as Lee, Sai is being emotionless, clueless and funny as always, Sakura being chased by Naruto and Lee (every still has no idea why and why everyone likes her).
If you wanna hear about Hinata, you learn that Hinata is actually super crazy and she follows Naruto around so much like a creep and a stalker, but you'll find it hilarious because it's Hinata! Neji is super infatuated in a father-like situation where he's always worried about Hinata and how she likes Naruto, and when Neji calls "Hinata-sama!", you will die by the tone in his voice. Way too funny. Quite a few episodes are centered around Hinata's love for Naruto and you see their interactions in many episodes, to which Hinata turns bright red and on rare occasions, gets a nosebleed.
Girls, if you like Sasuke, like me, (Sasuke-kun! ^.^) the few episodes near the end have Sasuke in it, posing, as a girl, sexy jutsu, with Neji and Lee. Too funny, laughed so hard, Sasuke being adorable as usual. He appears in the first half of the last episode and really, I just loved the Sasuke screentime. Lee's team encounters Sasuke's team Taka in one episode.
So again, if you love Naruto or Naruto Shippuden, this show is a must-watch if you have free time or just wanna watch for a good laugh. I highly recommend it!

If you like reverse harem shoujos, this is pretty much what you need to be watching. I'm one of those people, so I really liked it although not so much at the beginning.
The story episodes kind of drag on in a slow fashion in the start and doesn't really make sense for the first half of the show, you will probably start predicting and making assumptions (like I did). Character development isn't all that good, and I wished they described more on each guy and what they do usually, school clubs but I guess they could only fit in so much about each character (because
...
there's 5 guys) in the show. You only learn a bit about each boy, but you learn the most about Ukyou. Near the ending of the show though, it becomes more clear what's going on and the story line.
I didn't like how the main character was so slow. I understand that shoujo girls are usually soft and quiet and then guys like her, but this was just bad. She took an irregular amount of time to respond in a slow, quiet whisper. If she had been a little more outgoing, the story would most likely have been more fast-paced and you'd get to know the guys better instead of waiting for the Heroine to respond. Although this may be because she has amnesia and she's just being uncertain to what's around her, when people that you think you know are telling you things, don't go easily listening to whatever they say. She's very gullible and naive, and doesn't seem to have a sense of danger until it's right in front of her (literally).
It's nice to see how the guys react around her, what they tell her and what they do for her. It nicely portrayed how much they liked her, especially with Toma and Ukyou. The art is really nice (I don't understand why all the guys sleep with their day clothes on) and their eyes are so cool.
The end of the show was a nice ending, with everything resolved and it ending in a cliffhanger for you to choose what happened. It's wasn't so sad as to cry, though (and I would know because I cry in everything I read, watch or hear about that pulls at my heart strings). I would love to have seen the answer, but then again, I wouldn't know my answer either if I had to choose.
Overall, I thought this was a decent show. It had a reverse harem, cliched romance, attractive guys and most importantly, how much work a guy went through because he liked you so much.
