The one word to describe this series is 'silly', but silly doesn't mean stupid. As someone who has fond memories of how dull and boring life at school was, then this series is a welcome break because it makes me wish I went to a school like theirs, where everything is nonsensical, and therefore the opposite of boring!
But that's not the only reason I love this series!
The series takes place at Yagami High School (although you might as well call it Generic Anime High School 101), where our protagonist, an air-headed, ditsy girl named Tenma Tsukamoto, ambles her way through life whilst also attempting to garner the interests of her true love Oji Karasuma, a quiet and very peculiar boy who doesn't really notice her advances, nor does he notice her in general. Unbeknownst to Tenma, she has capture the heart of another boy named Kenji Harima, who despite being an incredibly violent delinquent who scares all those he goes near, attempts endlessly to gain her attention and love, breaking down at the critical 'pop-the-question' moment (with often painful repercussions).
The thing that makes this Anime are a mixture of its funny characters and sporadic random comedy that takes an otherwise mundane situation and throws it completely out of real-world context. All of the characters you can relate to those you know in school, the bully, the air-head, the tomboy, the quiet but smart kid who really just doesn't want to know, etc, and thus when the random comedy suddenly flies in from left field, you find yourself laughing at the fact that such everyday things are being blown out of all proportion, as if the fate of nations was being decided by them!
Overall, it's a really fun series, I know I certainly enjoyed every episode. Granted some of the usual Anime traits sneak in, like the obvious prolonged sexy scenes with the girls that can take you out of it, especially when you know that it's just the animator indulging their racy side.
But other than that I really like this series, just everyday situations with an over-the-top spin placed on them!
