They are neither too out-sized nor too ordinary no one's eccentricities cross the line into disruption. Because they are constructed from a series of overlapping qualities (two or three of the characters relate to sports in a unique way, for instance while there's a smartest one, that doesn't mean academics doesn't play a role with other characters) and an offbeat factor or two (one characters loves but is hated by cats) instead of each one stuffed into a brightly emblazoned unique role in the manner of a North American entertainment, our initial sense of the main characters (Sakaki, Kagura, Chiyo, Tomo, Yomi and Osaka teachers Yukari and Nyamo) feels real. The best things about Kiyohiko Azuma's high school comedy are its tone - sweet with just enough of an edge that everything goes down smoothly - and the balance with which Azuma has built his characters.
