Spoiler for Manga:

I'm on the wall about this series. I checked out the translated chapters and scanned though the raws so far.

I few things turn me off to the series. One is the sadist male character with no redeeming qualities who goes around doing as he choices unopposed. The main girl doesn't even realize she has much more on him and can use that to her advantage but instead she just lets him push her around. His character seems ripped right out of your standard Shoujo manga. After checking up on it, looks like the author writes Shoujo also so this explains that.

Another is adding the hate of boys due to a traumatic event during childhood. So cliche. I mean a girl must have some kind of trauma if she doesn't like penis right? Seen it to often. The story inevitable ending will be girl gets over hate of men and gets with the cross-dresser, who she forgives for doing mean and unconscionable things to her because he meant "well" or some other nonsense. Why not just change the name of the manga to "Penis wins"?

Even with this the comedy is done fairly well. Also the main character when not being the male's lapdog is fairly entertaining and interesting. I could do without the nose bleeding though as I never understood why that was ever considered funny in any anime. The other girls though are a bit cliche and less interesting so far. The production staff gives me a lot of hope though so we'll see if I'll pick this up. I don't have a comedy anime to watch yet next season so I might. This probably won't live up to School Rumble in terms of being a good romantic comedy but I could see that when I saw they were using Yuri to try to cover up the lack of interesting characters and cliche plot.
