Spring is usually my favorite season every year. It usually consists of heavy hitters of popular franchises as well as new adaptations that generates a great deal of hype. This year though, we have an unusual amount of short series that runs half the length. Unfortunately, most of these shorts fell flat and limited themselves with low expectations. However, there are two shows this season that managed to break that limit. One of them is this curious little thing called Senryuu Shoujo. I love the manga. It recently reached its 100th chapter milestone and being a short length show actually helps make the story flow better.The story premise itself is simple that stars Yukishiro Nanako as the main female protagonist. An easy trait to notice about Nanako is that she doesn’t communicate verbally with others. Instead, she expresses her language in the form of haikyu, a form of poem.
What it comes down to it, Senryuu Shoujo manages to captivate me with its charming cast of characters. Nanako’s personality is that of a friendly girl who is very open minded and willing to accept anyone as a friend, including ex-delinquent Eiji. Throughout the series, Eiji is portrayed as a misunderstood person by others because of his intimidating appearance. As members of the Literature Club, we get an inside look at their relationship. There’s many running gags between the two but at the end of the day, it’s shown that they greatly care about each other. Or perhaps it’s more than what it seems. Someone as dense as Eiji doesn’t realize Nanako’s feelings for him. As a slice a life comedy, this anime is filled humorous moments. It never ceases opportunities to poke fun of their relationship. At its very best, we can see their true personalities behind their outer shell.
Meanwhile, we do have other characters such as Literature Club president Amane Katagari. A running gag in the show is how she tries to get Eiji and Nanako together for alone time. Similarly, Eiji’s childhood Koto Ootsuki loves to tease the duo whenever she gets the chance. It makes time to always sell humor so the audience remains entertained. This also extends to fortune teller Tao Hankai who is well known for her bizarre personality. I think by the time we are introduced to the majority of the cast, there’s always someone to keep an eye on. The only character I felt underwhelmed would be Kino, another girl who communicates non-verbally. Unlike Nanako, she is too timid and lacks presence. Even when an episode focuses more on her than others, it feels like she’s invisible. I personally think Kino is a poor’s man version of Nanako for being unable to develop character chemistry with the other cast. It’s a shame.
At its core, Senryuu Shoujo is an easy going slice of life anime that relies a lot on its character chemistry than storytelling. It doesn’t and shouldn’t take anyone to think about what this anime means with each episode. Come to think of it, the comedy itself often feels very direct with even more characters getting their own moments of fame. This includes Nanako’s father with his own misunderstood fantasies or Eiji’s denseness. There will definitely be an audience who will find this type of humor to be childish and poorly executed. But hey, that’s the ball in your court.
This is actually Connect’s first TV short if you don’t count their previous net anime projects. The overall colorful visuals delivers a great look to the series’ themes. I was cautiously optimistic at first after seeing the preview videos but as more episodes aired, the show proved itself to be visual fest. Studio Connect managed to capture the school life setting with a feeling of serenity. In the meantime, character designs are carefully made with care to match the look of the manga. The most noticeable characters are Nanako and Eiji for their very contrasting designs but anyone who lay eyes on them the first time should easily see how well they match their personalities. Character expressions is also an important feature that manages to communicate characters’ feelings. And for any fans who wants to be serviced, there’s moments of that too including the unavoidable swimsuit episode. There’s something here for anyone who is a fan of slice of life.
I admit that shorts aren’t really my favorite type of anime. Most often, they suffer from story development based on the amount of content. However, Senryu Shoujo never relies on storytelling to be special. Instead, it has these creative circle of characters that’s here to steal the spotlight. I recommend giving the manga a chance for first time viewers as the anime doesn’t adapt chronically with its flow. But once you start to get into the flow, you’ll want more and more.

What you need to know about this series is: A rom-com story, About haiku and school love, Plus comedy too! In the season of shorts becoming predominantly variable in time to come, this series is the Cream of the Crop for the season's contending SOTS (Short of the Season). But before that, What is a haiku? In what context is it used, And how is it used?Taking words off fellow reviewer @Krunchyman, haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, characterized by three un-rhymed lines of 5-7-5 syllables. In Japan, they utilize sound units known as “on” or morae, in which when translating into other languages, inconsistencies can lead to a number of problems, leading translators to claim that as a whole, varied words in the sentence of certain syllables in English equate to the duration of 17 Japanese “on.” Nevertheless, the intent is to capture the essence of a moment in time with a short, poetic composition. Thanks for this valuable teaching information and your contribution.
In this case, characterization plays the major plotline, of which the main female MC Nanako Yukishiro (voiced by HanaKana) anchors her dialogues which are then written on Tanzaku (yes, those ones used for Japanese festivals), instead of expressing through verbal communication. Together with the Literature Club with 3rd-wheel comedic Prez Amane Katagiri, she develops a crush on the looking-scary ex-delinquent boy by the name of Eiji Busujima (who joins the club before her), and love hijinks ensue. Even down the line as more characters come to fill in their roles in the club:
The shy Kino Yakobe who can only draw to verbalize her facial expressions,
The fearsome and bold Koto Ootsuki, being Eiji's childhood friend and a teaser for the couple, while doting on him a lot,
and the devilish Tao Hanakai who is pretty much reminiscent of the fortune teller look with her magic 8-ball,
There has to be a way to get these affections through...right?
Too many people,
But that's no problem for them,
They are the 3rd-wheel (for Prez Amane who always gets in the way of the duo-couple)!
Honestly, if there is anything going for this, it would be both Eiji and Nanako's interactions (which sometimes are lost in translation if not done right, especially to the Haikus), their subtle feelings for one another, though with Eiji's naiveness, denseness and "incompatibility" with Nanako (in terms of speech and obvious feelings) can sometimes be a chore to watch them get "hooked". Nonetheless, it makes up for a ton lot of sweet, enamoring moments, and I've gotta say, it was 12 whole mins of goodness.
Likewise, both the art/animation and sound departments carry that good "Love is in the Air" feels all around.
Connect, the studio subsidary of Silver Link, actually has a small line of projects under their belt (most of them co-produced together), but nonetheless has some true talents under their belt, as further evidenced by the gorgeous art and buttery-smooth animation. I believe that shorts like this do not have a huge budget to work with, but the production staff working this series pulled it off nonchalantly, and that is a good thing.
The same thing can be said about the short OP and ED. While they sound a tad off from the usual 90 seconds to work with (60 seconds to be exact), it still fits within the confines of the show, and both songs sound melancholic with that sweet fragance of "Ordinary Love". Overall, a great job.
So what do you think?
Is this your SOTS (Short of the Season)?
Whatever it is...
It's a fun watch if you get the whole "haiku" cultured thing. Otherwise, there's not really much substance, and sure as the people say: "Quality over quantity", and if that is the production team's goal, they have succeeded.
For me, it is good, but not to the calibres of greatness.

Senryuu Shoujo is a lovely little show. It has a simple premise: an essentially mute, shy waifu (Nanako) is only able to speak through written poems, and the episodes chronicle her time with her hooliganish friend (Eiji). The show is essentially a gentle, wholesome slice-of-life with some good comedy and some cute romantic undertones. The art is cute. It is not ultra-detailed, but I found it charming. There is a funny effect where nobody has a complete mouth when their lips are closed, though it didn't bother me. I think it fits with the show. The characters are drawn very nicely in my opinion, and Iliked the character designs.
The sound is great! I can't stop listening to the OP haha. I also really like the voice acting. Nanako's (internal) voice is very moe <3.
In addition to Nanako and Eiji, there are several great supporting characters. One is a ... well-endowed and... sensual ... oneesan; another is an shy artist who can only communicate through images (similar to Nanako's poetry); there is their club president, who is something like a hopeless romantic; and then there is a kuudere+tsundere fortune teller. Altogether, they aren't really the classic stereotypes or tropes (not that I usually mind that anyway), and their weird quirks offer ample opportunity for comedy.
One thing they didn't really take advantage of enough is the fact that Nanako is mute - one time they made a joke about her interacting silently with her artist friend, but they could have gotten more comedic mileage out of that I think.
Categorically:
- Moe: high due to Nanako <3
- Comedy: good
- Drama: none
- Action: none
- Romance: present (pre-together)
- Harem: none
- Ecchi: very little
Overall, this is a great show for anyone looking for something low-stress, with a kawaii protag and a little bit of a wholesome romantic atmosphere, along with a cute story meandering along. The only downside is that the show is short :( but I recommend this to anyone and I hope there's more. :)

What is senryuu? Broadly speaking senryuu can also be interpreted as "haiku" or rather modern poetry more or less like that. Tells about the life of a cute, cheerful girl named Nanako Yukishiro. He has flaws in communication, but he has one hobby, which is writing Senryuu, poetry to convey his feelings. Together with his naughty friend named Eiji Busujima, they enjoy a pleasant school life with just a few words. Storytelling goes well and is suitable for accompanying your boring daily life. The comedy and romance elements in this anime are very much felt especially when they spend time togetherI'm sure you will be laughed at by their behavior.
Art is not so extraordinary that it can be interpreted as a standard with no special impression. Character design is pretty good especially in Mitsuki Koto's part, Thank you for creating a waifuable character. The background is also good, the effects of fireworks are no less good, and for the last to think of the opening theme animation is a difficult thing but here they are good enough in making animation the opening theme fits perfectly with the song that is carried and the whole animation is also not feels stiff.
If you think of this anime from the title, then you imagine "surely the voice actor doesn't appear often". Eitsss, don't think like that the proof is why they brought Kana Hanazawa? Nanako does not speak, but every time Nanako writes a word on the board, the voice actor will read what Nanako wrote (although in a quiet voice). The opening theme sung by Sonoko Inoue was very good and I like it, while the closing theme sung by Rikako Aida was equally good.
Of all types of characters here have everything from Kuudere, Dandere, Defenders, to Tsundere but here there is no such thing as Yandere (because this is not a psychopathic anime so it might not be there). The main characters who have a tendency to talk to boys who look like hoodlums are all mixed together as a result, the combination creates a distinctive characteristic.
The screening schedule was right on Saturday so I really enjoyed this program properly because after a busy day I was able to let go of fatigue after watching this anime. Not only were they jokes, sometimes I also got carried away and laughed to myself, especially when I was in the cave scene (I didn't explain in detail because I was afraid the readers would be spoiled later).
Overall it was good but the thing that stuck on my mind was why main Heroine couldn't talk (I already knew if the age of speech was not the title, I don't think that this is my joke).

This show is sweet. If you're looking for something to watch and in the mood for the most innocent and sweet main character that sees the best in everyone and everything, this is the show for you. If I wanted to describe this show in a single word, it would be adorable. Just like the main character. If you want to analyze what happens, you will get themes of isolation, friendship and not judging a book by the cover, or listening to rumors. Personally, I just wanted to watch this show for the absolute cuteness of the main character and didn't want to think too hard.

Honestly, I really, really, really hate writing scathing reviews. Nonetheless, I also understand that when such reviews are presented as constructively as possible, it would reach the proper ears and eyes and may bring about better anime in the future. Here it goes... Senryuu Shoujo is a whimper of an anime. Looking at the most reviews on MAL, I deduced of which the generally high scores were most likely influenced by the heroine's femininity and not, ironically, her Senryuu-writing journey. The heroine, Yukishiro Nanako, can only communicate with Senryuu writings (poems with 5-7-5 syllables), most likely due to past bullying issues, but soon she finds herfellow kindred spirit in former yankee Busujima Eiji. Looking at this premise, various interesting scenarios could occur and be followed with rich possibilities. In fact, Nanako could be the elevated version of her predecessors --fellow socially dysfunctional charas-- such as Switch of SKET DANCE saga. Unfortunately, by the time it reached the first half of the series, I finally realized that it was too high of an expectation.
Here are just some of the issues. One, the senryuu (the poems) as written by Senryuu Shoujo herself are nevertheless mediocre. She would simply converse but with a small twist of 5-7-5 syllables. There is no artistry, no finesse, and to be horribly ironic, her male interest writes better senyruu (isn't this supposed to be Senryuu Shoujo-- and not Senryuu Shounen?). Two, with such horrendous literary skills, it becomes hard to root for the titular character. Therefore, it is easy to assume that she is basically coping from her past by utilizing such mechanism that is neither attractive or flattering for her character journey. Yes, the series finale manages to unveil some context for the sake of development-- which leads me to Point Number Three: why the hell would you put such important episode as the finale? It is already too late to go back and root for the character (unless you would consider re-watching it but then one would most likely experience the deja vu of how pointless the experience used to be). Finally, there is also the unfortunate supporting characters that are basically the Cupid for the 'lovely couple'. There is a difference between supporting the heroine's strengths and enabling the heroine's weaknesses. This anime does the latter and this could be a very misleading, if not dangerous, message for the friendships in 'real world'.
It truly pained my heart to write the above. It truly did. Unfortunately, I felt it had to be written. The audience deserved better. Why? Because once we choose to watch a particular anime, that also means we toss aside the rest. It is very, very, very important to choose wisely.

I'm a huge fan of the manga series, and having just passed ch.100 show no sign of slowing down. Art-wise of the manga, this show hasn't made a totally successful transition to the animated format. The movement is pretty janky and the costs kept to a minimum are pretty glaring. The voice acting is exactly how I anticipated the characters to sound like, and the characters themselves were brought over from the printed version as I thought. The story carries up to a snowy and convienient stopping point and the most important things are covered. Obviously some things get missed out, but with the wealth of material fromthe 4-korma this wasn't surprising.
7/10 is pretty fair I think - good, will appeal to fans of the manga. Newcomers, go read the manga first as this won't be a full representation!

My expectation towards this anime is not high, is a short and simple anime for me, that's why is quite enjoyable. Common art style. Cute and simple storyline make you feel comfortable towards the end. The only flaw I would to say is it didn't tell us much detail about Nanako develop incapable of speaking (mutism), other than that is quite sweet and enjoyable short anime. Character: you know chemistry between nanako and eiji is kidda okay and sweet. Overall, if you in the mood of watching short anime to pass some time, this anime will be satisfy you. Score = 8 (short anime)

This is a show you could call generic cute girl show, but however that's not the hole truth. The show could have started from where the 2 main character got to slowly know each other, but it went for different comedic approach instead of slice of life(which it still is I guess). This idea stems from the fact that even though it's a comedy I laughed or overall smiled maybe once or twice. I didn't count but not many times overall. I can't say it would have been better that way, but I could probably rate this show higher if it had invested more onthe story/drama aspect and executed it properly.
The story wasn't that original it was largely seen in other school animes however it didn't really bother me in this particular show since the episodes are very short, about 12 minutes including opening and ending and it also helps that there is a different story for each episode, basically it's pretty packed with events. Also even if the story isn't the most original the execution is good and enjoyable.
Second point of notice is the characters. The show doesn't go too deep in to their personal struggles or anything like that but what's huge about this show is that I didn't manage to find a single annoying character that was something similar to a harem girl from isekai, so that was good at least. Also the main girl is cute enough to stare at for 12 episodes.
If you decide not to watch this I can say that you don't miss anything important, but somehow this show made me watch it even though I've been pretty bored to anime recently, so it's not half bad. Overall the voice actors are really good and fit the characters so that's one huge bonus too.

This is literally Komi can't communicate, but in a different manner. Nanako can't speak so she writes poems and expresses herself and Komi writes in her notebook and expresses herself. I feel it is aimed at an audience who are really depressed and want their empty souls to be filled with something, just anything would do. It uses an entire literary genre as the focal point for its story, and not once does it feel contrived or like it's trying to maintain a shit just for sticking out. The opening and ending themes were great at the very least. It bodes well with the premise.While cheesy in some ways, it is a harmless watch.

People watching anime for a lot of reasons with one of them is to relax from a long day at work or school and senryuu shoujo is one of these anime.Let's start the review spoiler free.The plot of senryuu shoujo is intreasting but the execusion is this of a typical slice of slice of life but that's good for me I don't think I would have enjoyed it if it had took it's plot too siriously especialy when we are talking about an episodic anime.Now as I said the anime is episodic which show us how Nanako lives her everyday life all the episodes wererelaxing and enjoyable something which satyisfied me as a viewer also the comedy is really enjoyable and funny there were moments where I almost fell from my chair sometimes.The animation is really good even though it's pretty simple and it seems low budget.It's colorful and it feets perfectly with the series atmosphere and personally I really liked it.The opening is good and in general the music was enjoyable.And now the characters.all of them are enjoyable and likable even though they don't get a big development which is normal for an episodic anime. I really enjoyed Senryuu shoujo since it was it gave me what I wanted to watch a relaxing and heartwarming anime something which is great to see from time to time.I would recomend senryuu shoujo to anyone who want to see something to relax or loves slice of life in general.8/10

Looking for something that can put you in a good mood? Senryuu Shoujo is THE show. Although being very short (10 minutes episodes, 12 episodes in total) Senryuu Shoujo fills perfectly every single moment of its episodes. It's a light and funny show, very well balanced in themes, bright in the animation and brilliant in the story; maybe not too realistic, but indeed enjoyable to its very end. The characters are great, even if not well developed (due probably to the lack of screen time), they are easily perceivable. Also they include hidden gems such as Eiji, a breath of fresh air compared to other male lead charactersin this kind of show.
The only 2 things that upset me of this anime are the lack of other regular male characters and the fact that there isn't a season 2 (yet).

This anime really turned my gloomy day into a happy one . I had watched anime non stop for 2 months and was bored so after many days I picked this up and I was really glad that I did, it made me fall in love with anime again thanks to the creators of this anime . It really made my day Story is kinda unique and really enjoyable and funny, the characters and their expressions are are top notch I would rather say it has the best face expressions out of all the anime especially Nanako , I couldn’t keep my eyes away from her. Ihad completed this anime in only one sitting

Senryuu Shoujo is the literal definition of "do much while having less". Having read the first chapters of the manga, I dropped it at chapter 4 because I didn´t actually like 4-koma style. I felt like moments were disconnected and that dragged the manga back. Luckily I found these adaptation and decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. We get a really nice story between Nanako, one of the purest and nicest waifus ever to exist, and Eiji, a great supporting dude with a nice heart. The events happening are great, really felt inmersive and well-redacted, on theother hand of the manga version. We see a nice development of the relationship while meeting great characters, without anything really special, but being very enjoyable.
Art style and drawings were nice, even upgrading the original ones and making them more beautiful. And sound was awesome. OST was nice, as well as the OP, and the ED was simply amazing. I will really remember this ending for a very long time.
Characters were diverse, and even Nanako and Eiji were amazing, and Akane was a nice addition, I felt it could have been better. Still were very great for a 10 minute episode show.
To sum up, Senryuu Shoujo is one of the hidden anime out there that can bring out many smiles on you. You wil love this show, especially if you enjoyed characters like Shouko from Koe no Katachi. Great show, sadly with no probable season two, but with a long manga to go.

This anime was so adorable and funny!! The dad was dramatic yet funny, a lot of interesting and unique supports, funny in their own right. I really enjoyed this show, if you love rom com shows highly recommend this. Its a bummer the episodes are short, REALLY want to see more, see how their relationship develop further in the school year. The main girl is just too precious and the main guy clueless at first but starts to pick up quick though still in denial. If the show gets another season with a bit longer episodes i can see this develop into an instant hit,get more out of the story i believe.
veemon23
Very simple and very cute, it's just one of those shows you just watch without having to think much. The characters are likable and they all have their moments. It's not one of those shows that will wow you but it's just a simple slice of life anime. I enjoyed it for it's simplicity. Doesn't try too hard to be more then what it is presenting to us and it is something that just fun to watch. It's cute, it's funny, it's light hearted and it's short. So if you just want a simple plot with simple character enjoying each others company, it's worth awatch.
It's not gonna wow you or anything special, it's just a cute adorable anime.
ThatGabss
I would not say that I was disappointed with the anime, I expected more when I read the synopsis, but it has its super charismatic and exciting moments, but also when you think, "Why is not it over yet?", It is not an anime dragged but sometimes it's not what you expect, especially with all the sneaking done in the work, I ended up evaluating the anime in 8 by the cuteness of the main character who is extremely captivating, even though it's a bit bizarre she does not want to talk to anyone for pure caprice, and this is left to be desired forspectators who demand more explanations of certain things.

tl;dr: A series of comedic shorts involving senryuu with surprisingly good chemistry between the main couple. This anime surprised me quite a bit in how much I enjoyed it. It’s composed of a series of 12 half length episodes that are primarily centered around humor, though with a good amount of subtle romance as well. As the title suggests the anime involves a lot of senryu, which are poems like haiku in that they follow the 5-7-5 syllable structure. There are deeper differences between senryu and haiku that you can google to learn more about, but from what I could tell the anime didn’t really takethe differences all that seriously so thinking of senryu as haiku is probably fine for the purposes of this anime.
The basic premise is that there’s a high school girl named Nanako who only communicates through senryu and who is close friends with a former delinquent named Eiji who, despite not seeming the type to, also loves senryu. Both of them are in the literature club and spend a lot of time just having fun writing and reading senryu. A lot of the humor arises from Nanako having to convey everything through senryu and Eiji coming up with very bizarre senryu. In my experience poetry related humor is pretty rare so I found it quite interesting and amusing. But even beyond the senryu, Nanako and Eiji have pretty great chemistry together which results in lots of amusing situations.
There are also a number of other side characters that add some more variety to the humor. There’s the busybody literature club president Amane who is desperate for a boyfriend and seems to lack common sense at times. There’s Eiji’s childhood friend and self proclaimed older sister Koto who seems to love teasing him. There’s the surprisingly energetic artist Kino, who similar to Nanako doesn’t talk, but instead communicates through drawings. There’s the fortune teller Tao who often makes mistakes with fortunetelling and also brings a strange sense of cynicism at times. And then there are a bunch of minor characters like Nanako’s overprotective dad and Eiji’s adorable little sister. In the end, while senryu are certainly a core part of the anime and as a backbone for the humor, there’s a wealth of comedy beyond that that results in the anime being really amusing from beginning to end.
What surprised me though was that the romance was really solid too. Nanako is clearly in love with Eiji and isn’t too subtle about it, though Eiji is dense as a brick so he doesn’t notice. Eiji also seems to like Nanako, though he is mostly subtle about it. This isn’t a drama focused anime so there’s nothing overtly serious, intense, or anything like that. However, just watching the chemistry the two have throughout the show with the occasional heartwarming moment was really nice. And all of that builds up to the last episode, which details how they first met, being a spectacularly good way to end things, even if there wasn’t actually any actual relationship development over the course of the series.
The art was quite nice and fit the lighthearted tone really well. The animation was also pretty great and felt very fluid. Combined they did a really good job at showing off the various characters. This is a realistic modern anime so of course the character designs were incredibly down to earth but overall still looked really nice. The soundtrack wasn’t particularly memorable but fit well enough. The OP I thought was pretty great in terms of audio and visuals, though to a degree I felt the song was too intense for the show. The ED was also solid with visuals that were mostly just a recap of the episode, but in a way that felt pretty natural and not just cheap.

One of only 2 animes that I'm watching this season. Yes you heard me right, I'm only watching 2 animes this season(the other being Senko-san). If I were to put it, Senko-san is for the relaxation while Senryuu Shoujo is all about the enjoyment seeing the relationship between Nanako and Eiji blossom. Story: Senryuu Shoujo's story revolves around writing Senryuus, which are unrhymed Japanese verses which is used in poetry and follows our 2 love birds, Nanako and Eiji in their blossoming relationship as the anime progresses. But that's not all. We have Amame, Kino, Koto and Tao who support Nanako in her quest towin Eiji's love for her through shits and giggles :v. It's a simple story for a somewhat romance anime. What impresses me the most is.... Nanako's innocent smile and personality but that's for the characters category :v
Rating: 7.4/10
Animation: Senryuu Shoujo's animation is quite beautiful especially animation of the sakuras falling from the trees. Again, it's rather simple scenery animation which I do like. In addition, I like the character animation especially their facial animation expressing their emotions.
Rating: 7.8/10
Music: Senryuu Shoujo's opening is quite lively and cheerful and it revs up the audience to watch the episode. I also have to compliment the anime in one aspect: I love the voice-acting of Kana Hanazawa i.e Nanako's voice actress. She's got such a sweet sounding and comforting voice.
Rating: 8.2/10
Character: The best scoring category for the anime. I love how they developed the characters from start to finish. Particularly for Eiji's character. We all thought that he was quite rough and is a hooligan at the beginning of the anime but it turns out, he does have a soft side underneath his aggressive behavior. And we can't forget Nanako! She's so pure, innocent, gentle and sweet-looking. She's probably the most fragile girl in an anime that I've seen in quite a while. Yet, she likes Eiji who's a complete opposite of her. Guess opposite poles do attract each other after all. And of course, I have to mention the more prominent side characters, namely Amame and Koto. They're so supportive of Nanako and Eiji having a relationship with each other.
Rating: 8.5/10
In conclusion, Senryuu Shoujo is an enjoyable anime as a whole. I loved watching Nanako and Eiji's relationship getting closer and closer as the story progressed and I kinda hope to see how it all turns out eventually.
Overall rating: 8/10
