This is not to say that there can't be elements of slice of life in any show... But just because a show has a few jokes in it doesn't make it a comedy. Is Hanasaku Iroha a comedy? I don't think so, though it can be charmingly funny at times. It's the more broad characterization of the show we're worried here.

This is more or less what I was trying to get across myself.
Urk. So exactly, this anime, is a drama with a little fanservice, if i could say.
