In the end, Senryuu Shoujo's endearing ensemble of personalities is what keeps me interested. The persona of Nanako is that of a gregarious young lady who is eager to make friends with everybody, including the ex-delinquent Eiji. Due to his frightening appearance, Eiji is portrayed throughout the series as someone who is misinterpreted by others. We get to see their relationship from the inside as Literature Club members. Even though the two frequently joke about with one another, it's clear that they genuinely care for one another. Or maybe there's more to it than meets the eye. Even Eiji, who is extremely intelligent, is unaware of Nanako's affections for him.
We do have other characters in the interim, such Amane Katagari, the president of Literature Club. Her attempts to get Eiji and Nanako together for some alone time are a recurring joke in the program. In a similar vein, Koto Ootsuki, Eiji's childhood friend, enjoys making fun of the two whenever she gets the chance. In order to keep the audience entertained, it makes time to consistently market comedy. This also applies to Tao Hankai, the fortune teller who is well-known for having an odd personality. By the time we meet most of the cast, I believe there is always someone to watch out for. The other nonverbal girl, Kino, was the only character that didn't really wow me. She lacks presence and is overly shy, in contrast to Nanako.
Senryuu Shoujo is essentially a laid-back slice of life animation that places more emphasis on character interaction than plot. It shouldn't be difficult for anyone to consider the meaning behind each episode of this anime. Actually, the comedy itself feels quite straightforward a lot of the time, with even more characters receiving their own spotlight moments. This includes Eiji's incomprehensibility or Nanako's father with his own misinterpreted fancies. There will undoubtedly be some viewers who think this kind of humor is cheesy and badly done. But really, that's your ball game.
