O Maidens in your Savage Season (anime) Mari Okada, Masahiro Ando, Takuro Tsukada

Satisfying anime to watch. The series focuses on what beyond the prejudice we have on high school girl. Their relative real life, not just some masked beauty and charm, but what lies beyond. The erotic employed were brand new to me as instead of going down the road of "School Days" (anime) it went beautifully.

It explores the beauty of love triangle masterfully. The way how the characters stands in a misunderstanding, how the situation got handled, that surprising revelation at the end. It's like a genius chemist concocted this amazing anime.

Other than than that, it hits deep that the main characters are in a literature club and how the young understudies are struggling with their learning for they themselves have not yet fully understood the world: S.E. cross, in the case of the literature club. It explores how the girls sees the boys, they can have prejudice as well, but then again, such misunderstanding can be change.

People, first and foremost, grow up, after all. Their prejudice came from their innocence and when it all came down on them, their maturity ripened and they've grown. That's the whole gist of the series.

I wanted to cry because of the tragedy when it comes to love triangle as well as forbidden love, and yet, the ending left me satisfied. The romance aspect of this series made me on edge, "Please don't be like School Days (anime), Please don't be like School Days (anime)" and I'm glad it didn't became like that.

The confessions, rejections and misunderstandings, reminded me as well of "Anthem of the Hearth (anime movie)." A great anime movie but I felt betrayed at the end of the movie. As for this series, the after story was awesome.

The couple I was most excited about was that of Hitoto-san and Milo-sensei, it's a forbidden love, a bit unrequited or rather restraint but it was the right action, at least to me. Milo-sensei was determined as well as awesome being an adviser of the literature club as well as being a teacher to Hitoto-san. He did it well trying to set Hitoto-san, though it seems at the end, her feelings for her never changed.

I hope for the best of these two. Also it reminds me a bit of the anime "Domestic Girlfriend (anime)" but in this case, the teacher took the proper route while not letting have the student the full hurt. Perhaps it's because their genders are swap, or maybe that's just me being a sexist. Milo-sensei have great mental fortitude and an air of maturity. A real grown up, as was said.

For the other two, the love triangle, the main focus of the anime, and the homosexual love. It feels cliche, at least to me. But the only deviation was that they ended on a happy note.

I'm pretty sure, the literature club got reprimanded dearly for what had happened in the end. But I'm sure as well, their adviser backed them up and have took the full responsibility.

I'm sorry if I stated quite a few anime to compare it too but I guess, it's a cliche series that I never wanted but I never knew I needed. A happy ending for certain tragic cliches. Something new to me.
