This is an ecchi title, that is to say it has soft erotic content, but don't leave too fast because it is actually quite good. The base plot concerns a young male teacher becoming aware and concerned at a student having a sexual relationship. His attempts to bring her onto the straight and narrow leading him into an interesting cycle of events. The ecchi content comes from the student who develops a great interest in `teasing' the innocent teacher, which is very effective. This is well integrated into the story (although perhaps a bit too glorified) and as we come to understand the characters the motivation (on both sides) becomes clearer. In essence it is the sense of empathy to the characters and situation that enables this anime to avoid the trap that "Sakura Diary" fell into. The animation is good, the dialog and scripting reasonable and the characters are well brought out (even the bad guy).
I feel vindicated! the people at THEM had the same sort of reaction in this long review, stating that it is `a comedy for adults, not an "adult video"'.
