A young boy is selected to a special all-boy Academy for those with extra ordinary talents in different fields. Perfect setting for something where you don't have to worry about anything else but relationships and getting less then A in classes. Completely unbelievable honey-filled boy-love story where everything is too good and perfect. Some people like it, some people don't. The artwork is basic good. It doesn't make you gasp for breath or anything like that, but it's pleasant to the eye. The sound is nothing too amazing. Music was... there... but nothing out of the ordinary and the soundtrack won't stick to your head for avery long time.
Voice acting was good as usual. I like Miki Shinichirou tho I think he has done better. The constant usage of "honey" from his character ( Naruse ) was somehow clumsy from time to time.

The plot is boring at best. No twists or unpredictability. Everything that happens is hand-fed to you and you really don't need to think while watching. Nothing exciting, just some hastily knitted story to give excuse to cute boy-love scenes.
It was like porn without... well... porn, or "cute boys doing cute things".

The characters were dull stereotypes, providing the viewer with easily understandable archetypes from which you can just pick the ones you like for the duration of the series. None of them had hardly any depth and even if they did, the anime was too short to get into detail.
The main character, Ito Keita was mostly annoying while cute. Obviously he was meant to be a "likable" character and as such, all the other characters basically fell in love with him immediately. This is what made him annoying.
Also, the series lacked the classic evil character ( unless you count the vice chairman ). The twins and the doctor were a little "bad" but not exactly evil.

I'll re-watch this only if I'm feeling the urge to look at a show that requires no brain-activity from my part, that will have a lot of pretty boys being cute with each other.

I would rent this, but I wouldn't buy it.
