Disagree about the Goth Loli girls. Their dialogue sucks, but they add some comic relief in serious situations. Oh, and I think you meant Balls of Fury. [Though I imagine that scene was a spoof on Prince of Tennis.]

I believe that you meant to say "Balls of Fury."

EDIT: Whoops, GATSU beat me to it.

Anyway, I'm still awaiting my copy of vol 2 (ship my copy already, TRSI!!). I was afraid that this series would get old rather quickly (as was stated in the review of vol 1), but this review has quelled my fears. I can't wait to get my laughs on.

This anime does look promising. I was disappointed in the manga, but that was because I felt it dragged and the gags just repeated endlessly. With a limit of one season, maybe the anime will be able to tighten things up a bit, and make it work better.

Waiting for a set and hopefully decent reviews throughout the series.

Embarassed

The Balls of Fire/Fury thing has been corrected. And you're right, it probably was actually a spoof on Prince of Tennis, but this coming out in the U.S. only a few months after the aforementioned movie makes the comparison a little hard to ignore.

Key: Don't feel embarrassed. It wasn't a heavily-watched film, so no one blames you for being off. Wink

When the group gets invited to a classical Japanese hot springs resort, Noi convinces Sunako to distract Kyohei so she can have quality time with Takeyama, but naturally things do not go quite as planned.
Noi's love interest is named Takenaga, not Takeyama, a typographical error on your part. Overall, it's a great review. Very Happy I'd give it a B too. Since I'm reading the Wallflower manga, the order of events in the anime kind of throws me off, just a bit.
