One of those well known anime/manga that's been around for awhile now- but I can definately say without dissapointing anyone with a spoiler, that this anime does not realistically reflect an average highschool life. First of all Japanese highschoolers do not spend their time loitering around having a fun and exciting day- no, that is not how school works in asia. Students study in asia. They study during school. Some study doing lunch breaks. Most all of them go to prep-school or have tutoring while school is closed- I could go on but you get the point. It's a cute anime :) (show less)
