With nothing left to lose, ordinary high school student Haruka Shinozaki confesses to beautiful, diligent class representative Akiho Kosaka and to his surprise she accepts.

Reception

In a review of the anime for NEO, Alex Jones believed the developing relationship between Haruka and Akiho to be what made the premise work. However, he felt the jokes got more low-brow and generic with the more characters the series added, and ultimately felt that the miscommunication between the lead couple wasn't enough to carry the whole show.
