Shiratori Ryuushi wants to become a picture book writer, and he moves to an apartment, Narutaki-So, in order to go to an art school in Tokyo. Narutaki-so is an old Japanese style one-story house which does not fit the urban scenery. It is owned by the cousin of his mother, and the manager of the apartment is Aoba Kozue. She is his second cousin, and they met each other when they were children although he does not remember her much. She is in the second grade of a high school attached to Aoba Junior College.

There are five people living in Narutaki-So: First, Chanohata Tamami is living in room #1. She is a best friend of Kozue. Then, the resident of room #3 is Momono Megumi. She is a kind of person who goes her own way. In room #5, Kurosaki Sayoko and her daughter Asami are living. Asami is in the first grade of junior high. Finally, in room #6, Haibara Yukio is living with his puppet, Johnny.

They are all characteristic and eccentric persons. However, in fact, the most eccentric person is Kozue, and she has a secret; when she is shocked about something, she changes her personality. Not knowing this, Ryuushi moves to Narutaki-So to realize his dream. But what kind of a new life will be waiting for him?

· castno description set
· · stereotypesThis show presents stereotypes, which are generalizations about a group of people. Examples would be saying that people from a certain country or with a certain hair color are stupid. If the show deals with comedy, the stereotypes are likely to be played on for laughs; if the show is a parody, the stereotypes will be exaggerated to have their flaws exposed and may be used as a form of social commentary. *+
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · facial distortionThe characters face are exaggerated into a misshape, deformed, and almost warped. Used as comedy element to express extreme mood swings. Differing from "Super Deformed", here only the face changes to an extreme degree, not the whole body of the protagonist. weightless
· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. **
· fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes. *
· gender benderTerm used to refer to a person who takes on the role of their opposite gender. This often only reaches to the extent of cross-dressing (involving physical appearance and clothing only), but in rarer cases, involves a total gender swap (which seems to be more common in anime) - where the willing or unwilling victim receives a body opposite of their original gender (either permanently or temporarily), with all natural parts per their new body fully (or just all-out amply) included. weightless
· incestInvolves sexual relations between close relatives. In other words, the game the whole family can enjoy!!! +
· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *+
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · beautiful people clubMost, if not all, characters in this show are good-looking. After all, who needs ugly people? We don`t need them here, that`s for certain; as Brazilian poet Vinícius de Moraes once put, "may the ugly women forgive me, but beauty is essential". weightless
· · under one roofFor some reason or another, the main protagonist (e.g. male in harem / female in reverse-harem) is living together with many other characters of the opposite-gender, all under the same roof (in the same dwelling unit). weightless
· cross-dressingThis character sometimes wears clothes traditionally worn by and associated with the opposite sex. Cross-dressers often hide their cross-dressing identity for a long period of time and thus tend to become adept in accurately portraying the opposite sex in terms of voice, movement, behaviour, temperament, etc. *+
· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. ***
· · · AsiaAsia is the world`s largest and most populous continent. ***
· · · · JapanLast stronghold for humanity. If Tokyo falls, it`s all over. Tokyo Tower will undoubtedly fall anyway. ***
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · presentSomewhere between past and future ***
· shounenIn the context of manga and associated media, shounen, literally meaning "youth" and often also specifically "boy", refers to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. weightless
· alcoholAlcohol (or more scientifically, ethanol), is one of the world`s oldest psychoactive substances. It is traditionally found in the form of a beverage such as beer, wine, or liquor, although in some contexts it can be inhaled to produce similar or intoxication, and some people prefer another way of consuming beverage-form alcohol. *
· daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person. **+
· mythologyThe anime gets inspirations from many forms of mythologies (either Greek, Egyptian, Nord, etc.) to form its story and setting.
· · folkloreFolklore, or simply Lore, are the traditions of a culture, subculture, or group, in the form of legends, music, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, fairy tales, stories, tall tales and customs. In usage, there is a continuum between folklore and mythology. Folklore is generally divided into four areas of study: physical artifacts, transmissible entities and stories, culture and technologies, and behaviors and rituals.
· · · fairy taleThis anime is either based on or contains parts of fairy tales. Usually those parts are highly modified or twisted when compared with the original source. weightless
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. *+
· · art schoolThe education in art plays an important part in this anime. Art school is a general term for any educational institution with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially illustration, painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic design. The term applies to institutions with elementary, secondary, post-secondary or undergraduate, or graduate or postgraduate programs in these areas. They are distinguished from larger institutions which also may offer majors or degrees in the visual arts, but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences). France`s École des Beaux-Arts is, perhaps, the first model for such organized instruction, breaking with a tradition of master and apprentice instruction when it was formed. (Source: Wikipedia) *+
· · clubsEven though school clubs in Japan are not mandatory, there is some pressure from the social grid (e.g. fellow students, teachers) to participate in some kind of after-school activity, be it in sports or arts. Colleges also have clubs. As a comedy element in anime, some students have joined too many clubs, and are thus constantly stressed out. There is also the element of social commentary, making it clear that you have to join a club, if you want to be part of the class. Since self-founded clubs need at least 3 members, the desperate search and advertising for new members can be cause for hilarity in anime. *+
· · high schoola secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America. *+
· · universitySince college/university students are typically at least eighteen years old, with stories covering mature everyday life topics, you will find the college setting quite often in seinen and josei anime. Topics that can now be covered - as compared to High School settings - are higher education (i.e. coping with higher intellectual stress), the more adult party life (i.e. alcohol, smoking, sex), the issues of daily life vs. studying - especially when having to work to pay for bills, and finally the possible friction between those in and out of college. *

A quite gentle comedy, though not without a few dark undertones and with some of the more interesting characters found in anime.

This anime had me yelling at my TV screen near the end. The characters are just pathetic. They can't get past any of their roadblocks in life. The only reason I kept watching it was because of the main character who shows charisma and resolve. It's just sad to see characters as pathetic as the ones in this anime. What were the producers thinking?

Comedy near the best due to the characters being pathetic. You get some really good laughs with this.
