For a realistic type series the first episode certainly pulled a few things "normal guys" wouldn't do *points at the lunch cue scene*. No to mention how all of a sudden, the school idol shows interest in some common kouhai. This would have been my favourite type of series if it was shown to me 2 years back but by now I have seen enough of these to make them a fairly boring-predictable experience. However, the episode certainly was good...even though I can just guess what is going to happen with the story. It reminds me of Kimikiss (like a lot of people has mentioned) but without the potential reset after each girl for the perfect "otaku dream" series...that kinda annoys me if the story doesn't end up being connected but we shall see. I have a strange feeling about this series in that I half like it and half dislike it for some reason...well at least the eye candy is top notch

Anyway, the arc that I'm looking forward to is the Nanasaki arc. The manga adaptation made me a big fan of her, so I can't wait to see what the anime is going to do story wise. Ayatsuji's arc should be interesting, too. |

I wonder how they decided on the order of character arcs.
If it were just a matter of popularity, then Nanasaki Ai would've been first. Last time I checked, the Japanese Amagami wiki has her on first (Haruka is second in the rankings), but her anime arc is fourth in the order. Perhaps the order in the anime is supposed to be a mirror image of the manga..? I just find it odd that Haruka's story arc is the first. I was actually expecting Tsukasa to be the first one. |

As to why they put Haruka first. I think it's smart because it acts as more of a hook compared to a less popular character leading things off. But at the same time I don't think it would be too smart to give away the most anticipated arc (Nanasaki's) right off the bat. I say most anticipated because she seems to be the most popular character (Deservedly so ). If I had to choose, I would say there's no specific strategy in the arc ordering. |

But you're right. Maybe the order of character arcs was spread out in order to balance viewer interest. I'm not really complaining, since Haruka has become one of the more interesting characters for me; however, after her and Kaoru I don't think I'll be looking forward to the rest of the arcs as much these two. Sigh... Ah, well. |

This is one of the few harem done right. Not much blatant ecchi and fanservice but it's all in the details. The hair! The eyes! I got hooked by the manga just because the eyes and facial expression are drawn in such a convincing and playful ways.

I don't have an answer for that, but it's interesting to note that the cast billing on the official site and elsewhere goes in this order: Ayatsuji Tsukasa (Nazuka Kaori), Sakurai Rihoko (Shintani Ryouko), Tanamachi Kaoru (Satou Rina), Nakata Sae (Konno Hiromi), Nanasaki Ai (Yukana), Morishima Haruka (Itou Shizuka). This may mean nazuka Kaori is the "star."
The story order will apparently be Haruka, Kaoru, Sae, Ai, Rihoko, Tsukasa: almost the exact opposite.
