Story/art
There are two main male characters portrayed in this anime. First one doesn't connect fully with main female character. Thus the idea of starting the show in a passer-by fashion rather than a narration makes sense. Even though at first glance the art seems a tad copy and pasted to start.

Plot, through a somewhat non-direct comedy level depicts bizarre parings in a truthful comical fashion. A normal paring for example would be a student with student.

Conclusion was not what i wanted but at the same time fitting. If you are looking for ecchi this is more of a tease if anything. If ... you are for a comedy approach you won't be disappointed. The typed words at the end not only referenced title(which was appropriate) but you get the sense even the writer questions the reasoning for the ending. Which by itself is amusing.

Censorship here is strange like the anime's name. Sometimes it is blatant with a sticker but in other times it will go with the heavy darkened approached but allow non sexual organs like a strap-on to be somewhat visible.

P.s.
Cover-shot image is a marketing sell. Yes, its from the movie but not how one might think it fits in. Although, while paring is somewhat untrue the story's underlining message of strange love is best portrayed with an image like that. Even though it is lying to the viewers it tells the truth.

To be honest about this OVA, I thought the first episode was a comedic masterpiece. The teacher in episode 1 had me laughing every time he spoke and in episode 2, without him, I got sorta bored midway. It felt like it was less of a comedy and more of an ecchi. I think they should have just kept him in the story, which would have made episode 2 way more enjoyable. Because of that I will have to say Episode 1 is a 8/10 for the great english dub and the comedy, and Episode 2 is a 4/10 because it was just boring. Overall ... 6/10. (I would recommend just watching episode 1 and leaving it at that.)

First thing first this was only only a bad representation of a GL anime , it was actively harmful pushing so many dumb stereotypes.

I gonna be negative for this entire review but here us the one thing I liked , i loved and actively laughed at the way chizuru's personality contrasted itself in episode one and in episode 2 after she met yamada.

Episode 1 was just horrible, the teacher was creepy and perverted he even threatens to rape Chizuru. Justa yuck episode .

Episode 2 the finale , theanime finally realized it supposed to be GL and it goes about it horribly . chizuru ... falls for yamada immediately but there is no romance between them intsead chizuru spends 30 minutes saying she is not a lesbian , she likes guys. Then the finale is just so laughably stupid.

the character design and voiceacting as well as the animation wasn't that great but its an older anime so it is unfair to judge it by modern standards , In terms of production i think it compareable to utena but ultimately worst,
